Z4M vs E46 M3 Garage Quinn review
Not watched yet but looking forward to it. Like this guy's vids... just a shame there are so few on the M!

interesting the torsional difference notes between the two cars ..... infact he much preferred the drive of the e46 overall it seems.
remember how much people talk about the z4mr vs coupe argument on stiffness and how they can feel it , the z4mr is stiffer by some way than the m3 coupe you see here thats mullering the z4m coupe, however The z4m setup just doesnt seem right and looked a mess from the drivers seat compared to the much older m3. For such an old platform i really see why these often get turned into track rats.
GREAT back to back video, sadly the z4m looked like a fish out of water in this clip, the m3 however looked very serious, if alittle Rickerty!!! lmao... if this is all about the tyres im not sure why he's done a comparison with the z4 so handicapped , its really struggling, and as above seems to have some setup issues on-top of the tyres. Also i think from my own experience swapping the engine mounts really ties the car together so much more and is a must for any s54 engined car.
really nice to see them being used properly however.
z4m interior looks really timeless even if the quality isnt great in todays world!

Great vid. Not exactly comparing like with like. Would be interesting to see the Z with the same tyres, and suspension mods - he said he was still working through dialing the right setup for the car, so its a work in progress.

Hah, hilarious vid. He absolutely spanks the sh!t out of it.
It’ll be interesting to see if he goes to a square setup and fits a carbon airbox on the back of this. Interior does look so good after the M3!

He’s doing great videos and is a proper hooligan driver.. Seen his bit on his RX7 driving on public roads (albeit his backroads but still..) ..?

Just new OEM mounts or something else? I'll do mine as preventative maintenance when I do my rod bearings in around 25k kms.

i went for the VT race units and they changed the cars behaviour in a way i cant quite quantify.... so much so it sounds made up.
Stick the VT Road units and you'll still get most of the benefits im experiencing without the added NVH.

Strange video. The Guy just seemed to be chucking the Zed around to wreck the tyres. No doubt having fun.
