Bought my Z4M back end of October. Never been detailed, had a valet though :lol: Swirl marks galore

Dropped it off at my detailers Cheshire Auto Detailing Knutsford begining of this week (it a non urgent Job as its not beeing used in this weather)

The previous owner had opted for black wheels, not something I like. They were sent of to Prestige wheels at the begining of the week...

Pics aren't working fella.

I know those guys - they did some bodywork for my father a while back. Near the skip, opposite the Bentley garage, right? Be interested to see your thoughts.

I don't feel quite so bad about my discs now :D How does the M compare with the TTRS, a car that was on my radar but couldn't afford one

I love my TT RS the engine noise is, dare I say it better than the S54.
As a every day driver (winter driver) its much more civilised. The mag ride is nice soft ride, traction is awesome in all weather. 4 pot brembos upfront do a great job. It goes like a stabbed Rat mine is stage 1 with 414bhp and 430lbs/ft2. Map /Second cat removed and pannel filter
Its very easy to drive fast.

The Z4MR is great fun, sounds good, but you have to drive it with more respect /care. I would rather use the Audi as a daily and the M as a weekend fun car. Very different Car's. I've done less than 1000 miles in the Z so I still need to "learn" it.

The Z4M won't launch as quick but once they are rolling the Z4M doesnt feel a great deal slower than the TT.
The TT RS does 8-10 mpg better on the same run.

I'm lucky to own both :)

Interesting you views on the TT, I also own both MC and RS (well the missus drives the TT) and agree it's much better daily....but like all Audi's it's a boring drive really, point where you want to go then go fast, almost zero feel to the steering...it does very little for me.

Not quite on the same level as the RS, but having gone from an S3 to the Z4M + Daily boring Golf, the S3 was a point and shoot, drive anywhere/anytime/any condition car. But the only excitement I got was launching. With the Zed, it's a joy to drive even on straight roads in the rain. I've never had RWD before and this really is a revelation.
