Default Run in with BMW Z4

Sadly no idea what engine it had or the age of the car, but the exhaust had sure been "got at" it sounded unreal!

I have a standard WRX STi Spec D 07/07, and, whilst I didn't feel defeated, I was suprised.
I was behind him and did well keeping up, I kinda had the edge when we got on the motorway (just)!!

Did sustain a small chip to my roof when his car threw up what sounded like a brick lol, but a quick touch in will suffice - no dent.

The boy could drive, so hat off to him, he did a really good drift when leaving a roundabout, and smoke filled rear arches etc!

Wasn't one of those.com! he'd have eaten me for breakfast lunch and dinner! He had twin tailpipes (together) on the nearside, not quad pipes.

Must have been a 2.5 or maybe 3.0, it was a manual I think.

Imagine the Z3M!! Seen only a few of those around, very few.

PPP is waste of cash, way to much for what it is. Unless you must have warranty

PPP is just a general map, you would be better getting your car mapped by a pro. With a few supporting mods you will get a better map with more power and mpg.
