Re: All about Z4 (E89/ E86/ E85) thread

Just got Remus installed on my ride, low and mid suffer quite a fair bit even I has PB box, too bassy for me tot of going back tomorrow to reduce the bass nite with silencer, any advise to improve the low and mid end?

Anvillyson, I changed to Eisenmann a week ago. Initially found the low rev drone to be unbearably bassy, but hey, after a week, it has suddenly become quite bearable while I'm starting to enjoy the high rev roar more and more. I believe your Remus is even louder than Eisenmann, but give it a while and see how it goes.

On the other hand, performance-wise, I too lost some low end, and am still trying to live with that. You could use some sort of throttle remapping device to mask the power loss, but this won't actually restore the power loss of course.

Reset your high level adaptations might help - disconnect your batteries for 20 mins.

An ecu remap should help - peak torque at a lower rpm.

Oh yeah, that's right. I'll also try the ECU reset that C3PO and you suggested.

I thought ECU is designed to adapt to changing parameters, but ah well...

Don't dare to disconnect myself. I'll bring it down to workshop maybe next weekend - also need them to check some rattling from my exhaust.

Meanwhile, still same-same, looks like ECU doesn't adapt to the different exhaust flow.

Special call out to fellow E85 bros.

A fitting footrest for our ride has been near impossible to find, but I've found a vendor who's willing to make one, bespoked! Plus his pedals look quite cool.

If you are interested, check out the mini group buy going on now: http://www.bmw-sg.com/forums/bmw-si...67-group-buy-sports-pedals-bmwpedals-com.html

couple of ways to fit golf bags in the E89

YouTube - ‪drive it! | compare it! Porsche Boxster vs. BMW Z4‬‏

(forward to 4.00min... i usually keep it horizontally rather than using the pass thru)

btw, anyone knows where to get black grills for the E89?

Hang on hang on... There's such thing as a pass through?! Does it come as standard? Or is it an option?

I meant that hole between the 2seats. In the manual i believe its designed for accomodating skis (for places where you can do that)

Sorry if i wasnt clear earlier
