2007 Bmw Z4 M Coupe -- Supercharged (500hp), Over $20k In Upgrades! on 2040-cars
Redwood City, California, United States
|
The car has 51,000 miles and a long life ahead of it. There are a few isolated cosmetic damages; the previous owner scuffed the front right of the bumper on a curb, but it is now better-protected by metal skid plates I installed on the bottom of the bumper. The paint is in good condition--no dents or major scratches aside from the bumper--though there are minor imperfections. The interior is in great condition overall, especially the leather throughout, except for some scratches on the driver's side door sill. I have always driven and treated the car with great care for its longevity: minimal engine load until both oil and coolant are fully warmed up (which takes longer with this car than many), carefully avoid potholes and rough roads, used a sun shade when parked to avoid UV damage to the interior, personally cleaned and conditioned the leather, etc etc... The car drives incredibly. Even before modifications, this was one of BMW's fastest and lightest production cars. With the stage-2 supercharger kit, it attains supercar-like performance and high overall refinement for an unbelievable value (at least now that I've spent the money and time tuning the supercharger for you!). Maintenance is completely up to date with a full records history--most importantly, the expensive Inspection II service has been recently performed, which includes a painstaking manual valve adjustment. I personally found the best BMW dealer tech on the peninsula and gave him a cash tip to ensure his work during this important job was of utmost quality. If you buy a lower-milage Z4 M, you'll be looking at well over $2,000 in the near future for this service. Test drives can only be offered to serious buyers. This car is extremely powerful, and while safe and capable (side air bags, stability & traction control, astounding brakes), it needs to be treated with respect. Headline features / improvements: - ESS VT2-500 Supercharger Kit--"stage 2", including a large and extremely effective intercooler. Rated 500 BHP and dyno-tested at corresponding RWHP. Cost over $15,000 with professional installation, testing, and tuning. - High-tech digital gauge system integrated behind the rear-view mirror glass. Invisible with the car off, seen as an overlay on the image in the mirror when the car is running. Air/Fuel ratio and Boost gauges are present on the left and right, as is a GPS-assisted Radar/Laser/Red Light Camera detector. Over $3,500 to purchase and install. I am going to miss this on my new car! This is a really unique feature, but I don't have photos right now (check out radar-mirror.com) - BMW European exhaust manifold. improves performance beyond the standard supercharger kit, and produces a stunning exhaust note. Carefully installed personally (an entire day's work). Over $1,000 in parts. - LoJack Vehicle Recovery system. - Adjustable camber plates in front and lower suspension arms in the rear from the best suspension part manufacturers available for the Z4M. - Full set of expanded-width Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (considered by many to be the best performance tires available). Plenty of tread left (more than 50%). - Brand new front brakes, less than 1,000 miles on them. The front brakes are about 4x more expensive than the rear, and lasted the whole life of the car, so they will not have to be redone until after 100,000 miles. - High quality window tint on the side and rear glass (no bubbles, looks stock but keeps the heat out! - Numerous dealership-installed replacements, including a new VANOS system (!!! normally $5k+ replacement and the major problem area with factory S54), BMW OEM windshield (original cracked by a rock), navigation system screen, interior trim pieces, and shift knob. - Extensive, detailed service history and full original manual (leather binder). - Tons of extras like BMW perfect-fit sun visor, touch up paint (haven't needed to use it yet), short shift kit, new set of spark plugs (though the currently installed ones will last at least 30k more), the original intake parts from before the supercharger and original US exhaust headers, etc. - Bavarian Soundwerks Speaker Upgrade - Navigation system with Bluetooth connectivity (part of the premium package) - Frequent changes of all fluids, including half the factory required milage on engine oil; supercharger oil, differential and transmission oil, brake fluid. Always top-tier fuel manufacturers. - Much, much more! More details on the powertrain and driving characteristics: - Supercharger is a centrifugal type, basically a belt-and-gear-driven turbocharger compressor wheel. Maximum boost is about 7-8PSI, which builds roughly linearly throughout the RPM band. - In addition to a large intercooler, the oil cooler is tripled in size and keeps oil temperatures slightly lower than stock, even under load. - The S54 motor is a 3.2L inline-6 with a 7,800RPM redline; at the time of its launch it had the highest naturally aspirated output per liter (333HP from 3.2L) of any BMW engine in history, and remains one of very few engines to break 100HP / Liter without forced induction. - The motor's natural tendency to make the greatest power at higher RPM combines with the centrifugal supercharger's own boost profile to produce a truly exceptional surge of power from 5,000RPM-7,500RPM. - S54's have individual throttle valves directly in front of the intake valves for each cylinder, which provides amazing throttle response. Combined with the always-on supercharger that has boost at the ready while driving, at 2,000RPM or above the response is absolutely immediate.

BMW M4 Convertible poised for Goodwood unveil
Sat, 22 Mar 2014It shouldn't be a shock that BMW is working on a convertible version of the M4. Not only have we caught it testing twice, but this is an automaker that seems willing to build a vehicle for nearly every buyer's needs. Evo claims that the high-performance droptop is going to debut at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in England from June 26-29.
Judging from the spy shots we've seen, the M4 Convertible will consist of a retractable hard top like the 4 Series cabrio. Other than the roof, there aren't expected to be many changes from the coupe. The engine will be the same turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, but the added weight of the roof and its mechanism may take a small bite out of performance.
We spoke to BMW USA about the rumor and were told that it has no comment at this time. After the M4 Convertible, Evo claims that BMW is working on a M4 Gran Coupe. How that would be all that different from an M3, isn't exactly clear.
Official pics of BMW M235i surface ahead of coupe's debut
Thu, 24 Oct 2013BMW isn't supposed to debut the 2 Series until tomorrow, according to Carscoops, but that hasn't stopped these photos of the 1 Series Coupe replacement from leaking onto the web. First picked up by a BMW 2 Series enthusiast site, the photos eventually found their way around the web, and complement the spy images we showed you of the uncovered 2 Series from almost six months ago.
This particular car is the M235i, and will serve as the range-topping 2 Series. As the number "35" is affixed to this car's tail, there's no question that the engine powering this example is BMW's turbocharged, 3.0-liter six-cylinder. As we reported earlier this month, power for the M235i should sit around 320 horsepower, blessing the 3,240-pound coupe with a 4.8-second sprint to 60 miles per hour when equipped with an eight-speed automatic (a six-speed manual is also available, but drops the time down to an even five seconds).
While this isn't a full-bore M car like the 1 Series M Coupe, it has been touched by the company's in-house tuning division, which means it sports a racier body kit, blacked out grilles and M-labeled interior items, like the steering wheel.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
