And I couldn't stop starring at it for 3 blocks.  I think the lady inside thought I was a little sketchy because I went the same speed she was going and didn't move from right beside her.  Anyways, that car is friggin awesome looking and I haven't checked on it yet, but I'm sure it has some huevos under the hood that would destroy the Z3. :jester:  :thumb:  :seeya:

I got an invite to see one and test drive from my local dealer.  They figure since my lease is coming up it wouldn’t hurt to get me in the showroom.  Little do they know I want an Envoy right now and not another BMW.  The styling has grown on me and the car is awesome to drive. Nice power, typical BMW steering and suspension ( the best) and nice fit and finish.

 

If I had the $$$ it would be my second car.

Great!!!  Just what we need around here....another status mobile made by BMW (I know it's a replacement for the Z3).  I can bet I'll see at least three of them on every block around here as everyone tries to outdo the Johnson's!

 

Sorry, I don't like BMW's at all.

Heck...  I can't find the info on the Z4 right now but I do know that the 4 banger is history.  The 2 available powerplants are both I-6 engines.  Who knows what will be shoe-horned into it when the "M" tuners get their chance to play....

The I-6 engines available are a 2.5 liter and 3.0

 

the 2.5 is rated at 184 HP 175 Tq

the 3.0 is at 225HP and 214 tq

 

 

yup same engines as the last Z3's, but this is a hair(a tenth or two) quicker. No word yet on an ///M model, but you can be pretty sure it will have the current S50 M3 engine(3.2 liter, 333HP)

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
