My new Z3 3.0i

Absolutly taken back by the power of the above. Went back in the seat in 2nd and 3rd gear. Made me think what an Z3M would be like with another 100bhp.

Had a 2.8 for a few years and had that remapped but nothing like the power of the 3.0i

You get a lot more torque with the 3.0 ;) and even more with an M :twisted:

Wow, my 2.8 scares the sh*t out of me, maybe I should think about upgrading to a 3.0L!!! 8-)
