  • In this video I've bought a cheap BMW Z4 for £1600. Usually the traditional thing to do is to buy a car, tune it up, then take it for a good old hoon around a track to see how the build holds up - but we don't do traditional. I decided to take my new cheap Z4 for a hoon around on track FIRST to see if anything broke! Baptism by fire.

    Hi Z4 owner here. I have an N52 si but this will apply just the same pretty much. First things first take care of the water pump 😂. Other than that they’re mechanically pretty good. Now for mods I’d suggest a ZHP shifter, a new set of shocks and springs as stock ones tend to cease, braided lines and an upgraded set of disks and pads, i run 18 inch wheel and ditch any run flats. And you’re pretty much set with around 2000£ all in for good daily/track car

    Congrats! They are a blast to drive!!! I bought a 06 Si a few years back and man I fell in love. It is a convertible so strictly using it for going on drives but what a machine. Disa valve is a common problem, clean out the 2 Vanos solenoid, leaking oil from headgasket. Also use BMW LL-01 approved oil, do not cheap out and do not run it low on oil.

    Got one of these sat on the drive with a cooling issue. Lockdown buy for similar cash. You’ve inspired me to fix it soon and get her back on the road for the summer. Cheaper than an MX-5; and a different experience. 2.5 does sound muffled, drilled the back box out but maybe needs more.

    Got an identical 53 plate 2.5l. Car doesn't do justice at all without an exhaust mod. Day and night difference. Don't get a full backbox delete!! Put a custom box on it (got mine done at powerflow). Was told full delete is too loud and another customer came back to redo it to a small box. Maybe get quad exhaust if budget extends. Can you do a vid with upgraded front strut braces (weichers etc.) for comparison of whether it makes a difference (relatively cheap mod and forums have mixed opinions). Also look at sound generator mod for simplest extra induction noise for free- just need to remove a foam piece into the cabin. Consider relocating roof motor to boot as that is the most common failure.

    Be interested to see the mods you make as I’ve got an 04 Z4 roadster 2.5i. It’s a great car to have a second car so you don’t get too used to it. Mine only comes out occasionally and always puts a smile on my face from the moment I then the key. Such a torquey engine with more than enough power in reserve. The back end can get lively in the wet.

    Hi Sid, I have this exact car. Open the exhaust M54 sounds beautiful, open the intake the throttle responds much faster, cold feed from the grille is there just needs a cup to force it in. Mine is lowered and on 19s. New front shocks will transform the turn in if yours are old. I would like to turbo mine, 340bhp on stock motor is doable prob @9psi. I also plan to weld the diff. Can't wait to follow your project! Let me know if you have any q's. And great driving! EDIT: I got a full back box delete, one of the best decisions of my life! Seeing what you're like I'd do the same!

    However these roadsters are very solid platforms, stiffer than an e46 m3 coupe, im going to love seeing you build this up!! awesome content.

    • @SidNorth
      @SidNorth  2 роки тому +1

      If the right Z4M rocks up with high miles (hard to find) I’ll do it. But in the meantime, my challenge is to see what a £1600 Z4 is like to live with etc.

    Nice video, if it's an N52 3.0 engine, put a 3 stage intake manifold and a 330i tune. Not sure if you get AFE intakes over in the UK but they do a 'PRO 2 intake which sounds awesome. Headers and an active autowerks tune should get it up around 250bhp at the wheels.
    The last piece would be to fit the diff from an auto E90 series 3.73. It'll be a different car. I've done all of this to a US spec 328i E91. Good to see you back man.
