@prontopac 5 лет назад

Your mods and advise is spot on in my opinion. One thing I modified early on was replacing my air filter with a cold air filter from aFe. It is a simple, but more expensive modification, but the sound it makes as you accelerate is equal to the exhaust sound as far as pure enjoyment. You could almost see the cyclone vortex as the air is sucked into the throttle body. The added benefit is that you might pick up an extra HP or two and you will never have to buy another paper air filter again. I love your videos. Cheers.

@ool3062 5 лет назад

I just got my E89 Z4 sDrive30i and I love it! I might buy a new exhaust for it since I think it is a little too quiet... When you are not up in 4000+ RPM it is more quiet than my 320d haha, but when you put your foot down everything changes especially with the roof down! It feels like a go kart in the corners, this car is the best car I've ever had.

@davidhollier9327 5 лет назад

All good advice. CDV delete was my number 1. Found out by accident that my key had been coded for the activation of the roof. Bonus. Also sound generator mod. Great for cabin noise whilst not upsetting the neighbour's at 05:00 in the morning.

@alunrees3056 5 лет назад

Top video Joel! More than happy with the noise with the foams removed from the resonator duct on mine(done before I bough it but not sure if these are there to filter any air sucked into the engine from behind the dashboard, anybody?), and the X8R DISA valve upgrade certainly offers piece of mind. Eibach springs reduce the ride height of the 3.0 by 15mm (30mm on the non 3.0 pre 2006), though more supple than the standard springs, mine is too low to get out of my sloped driveway without scraping the pavement with 2 people on board.

@PhilGood7199 4 года назад

Thanks for video, always something to catch! QUESTION: I’m looking for the way to play my music phone (iPhone) in the car, is there a good mod for that??

@nicklovell1982 5 лет назад

CDV (Clutch Delay Valve) is a must in my opinion. Transforms the 1st-2nd and pull away feel. Stubby aerial, makes the back end look a lot better. Depending on model, foam removal from the sound generator. Pipes glorious induction sound into the cabin. Mine is ear splitting loud but soooooooo nice. ZHP gear knob is the stubby version of what you have. A must have in my opinion. Dash cam (hard wired) - A must for any car. Saved me a lot of hassle and ££££ when someone ran a red light and wrote off my previous z4. Top video as usual.

@ianedmonds9191 4 года назад

This was done to my E85 before I bought it. It's definitely a god thing as long as you're sympathetic to the drive train. If you dump the clutch or change gear without matching revs it's going to hurt your drive train. It could twist your driveshaft and end up messing up your diff. The answer is to always match revs when you change gear. Blip the throttle with the clutch down when changing down and leave a short pause as you change up. If you do that the car will thank you with clutch mileage to die for. The engine will be happier too. You're Driveshaft will last a lot longer. Overall it's a great mod if you are a careful driver. Disastrous if you don't' care. Luv and Peace.

@johneadie400 2 года назад

Hi Joel, great videos - thank you. With the back box exhaust mod, is there not noise level restrictions? In New Zealand we have boy racer issues which have led to new noise level limits. Your comments would be appreciated.

Very nice videos. I just bought my first Z4, 2.5 2003 with 55,000. It's loads of fun, I should have bought it years ago. I have a couple of questions: I can't seem to find your link for the tailpipe modification, love your sound, can you resend? What tires did you replace with when you got rid of the run-flats? How easy or hard is it to replace a cup holders in the dash? My passengers is fine with the drivers got a little crack in it. Keep the videos coming good work. you should certainly try to get a job as an intern on top gear or Grand tour

@itsjoel 4 года назад

Thanks buddy. I went on to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3s when I ditched the runflats. Cup holders are pretty easy to do, I actually did it myself and made a video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4IqiaMkORDI.html

@carbsandcoffeesa 5 лет назад

Hey Joel, I've been really tempted to do the back-box delete on my E85 3.0.... thing is I'm really worried about droning and it being just that little bit too extreme. Have you heard what these cars sound like if you delete the middle box under the car rather than the back box? Would that be worth doing?

@itsjoel 5 лет назад

Mr Q hey mate, no I haven’t heard what that sounds like! The drone is only noticeable/ somewhat annoying at motorway speeds

Excellent video as usual, I have done the gear knob,and the run flat tyres, I’m keeping my silver grill as it’s specific for the 3.0L and the black is for the smaller engine cars, I’m also worried about doing the back box delete in case I don’t like it and have to put it back, instead iv done the sound generator mod which is really simple and should have been on your list 😉

@itsjoel 5 лет назад

Thank you! Yes I didn't include it in the video but you're right, the 3.0L is the only one with the silver grills. I just love the gloss black grills with my black paint. There's no way you won't like it if you do the backbox delete, it just might start to get irritating on longer journeys.

Paul Rogers I’ve had my E85 for 9 years now & still love her. I still think they are a beautiful looking car & having the fabric hood not only saves space, but more importantly weight. Going back to tyres Paul, I’ve had a few sets. Without shadow of doubt, Michelin are way ahead:of the game. They are premium & do cost more, but they wear better though & the handling is fantastic. I went for normal tyres (do not go fun-flat). Michelin pilot sport. I you check out Black Circles, you will not beat them on price of Michelin, as Michelin own Black Circles. Hope this helps, Simon.

Thanks gents. Tramlining is really affecting the drive on the awful UK roads. Was in Europe recently and it handled like a dream with the smoother roads. Will follow up o suggestions 👍🏽

Drifting the milford roundabout tut tut, is easy in the z4m tho ;) all about the LSD!

@itsjoel 5 лет назад

Milford roundabouts is where I’ve learned 😂 spent many nights with an LSD MX-5 there!

@perniciousgreg 5 лет назад

@@itsjoel Nice man, me too lol. I crashed my 323ci on the northbound roundabout many years ago :( weight transfer caused a quick snap back and lack of experience meant it could not be saved. I was going to ask if you fancied featuring the z4mr before it gets sold but I see you've had that all covered. Nice vids man, keep up the good work!
