Hi Jason, I'm ashamed to admit it but I've only done 3500 miles in mine and it had about 3400 on it when it was dyno'd.
I just don't get the time to use it :(

I'm at Surrey rolling road next weekend with the Alpina register, so should be interesting to compare the graphs from the M to the 3.4 of the Roadster S - which I of course expect to the considerably down on power but very similar on torque.

So what happened to the comparison? Did it ever happen? I'm interested because I had my car at SRR today and it produced 349 hp without any mods which surprised me, especially as the only reason I took it was due to a lack of faith in the torque I felt it was producing - again a major surprise.

349 hp that's a great figure, any chance you could pop the graph up?

Not immediately as I don't have a scanner but Charlie's promised to e-mail me a copy when he backs up the PC on the rolling road.

Good job boys. Any decent write up on as good a site as PH should help wake the masses who think that MCs are too weird.

By the way, PH, if you meed more cars for your write up.......

Just don't make it over the next 2 weeks as i'm off to Monaco for a road trip..... :D :D
2007 z4mc carbon black - gone but not forgotten. The guy I sold to still has it, maybe one day I will buy it back.
Now - Maserati Gransport with many mods. Sounds incredible.

Looks like v little difference in peak torque figs, but sixspeeds looks a bit flatter overall.

Maybe we should do a group Z4M trip to a Rolling Road - Surrey or Austec in Gatwick? - and with a mix of cars, from completely stock, to ones with just one non-stock item each, ie filter, exhaust, then could get a reasonable idea of what difference the mods make?

Nope. It's been on a Tuscan S (when I first got it), then moved to a VX220 Turbo, and now the Zed.

I've also got RU 02 SLO, which was on an RX-8, and then an Audi A4 TDI...
