Has OUR Z4M Coupe LOST POWER?? After 15 Years!

[@NVMotorsportUK]

So… is it worthy of some mods now🫡

[@lloydlawrence2009]

Will be interested to know how much power you can extract from the S54 once you start mapping....

[@prawnstar9213]

A car to save! I have one in white with 37,000 miles on it. Only drive it in the summer.. aftermarket suspension and replaced engine mount bolts.

[@bartprince1691]

Such a timeless shape 🔥

💯

[@GlennBerry]

The Z4M is an amazing car, clean it up, throw some mods on and it'll be a stonker. Serious envy here.

[@sidbobby3233]

Had giggles watching u being a journalist bruv, this going to be wicked mate. 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍

[@franklineno8616]

That is some project car Mabz,drove one around 10 years ago with kw suspension with Essienmann exhaust, absolutely beautiful in corners,if you tune this one I'll be drooling mate....

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Get the tissues ready🫠

[@thomaslcmt]

Just bought one in Jan. Same as you, I needed to tick this boxe before they go up in value. I am looking to mod this car ! enjoy yours mate

Ran out of fuel ⛽️ 😂😂 got me that did! Another top video lads, keep up the good work.... sure you can squeeze 2 videos a week in these days 😝

[@kip8790]

Mine was standard, made 346…….after it was mapped! 336 before but it felt much more punchy midrange after. The noise is so good.

[@NVMotorsportUK]

8000rpm is addictive 💯

[@0Camus0]

I would love to see more on the ECU side of things, tables, offsets, the tools, all that.

[@NVMotorsportUK]

MSS70 is feared by most😅

[@lloydlawrence2009]

The rear drop links always go on these and are a pain in the arse to change

[@imihussain1781]

Awesome video bro, I got a Z4M coupe in Alpine White which ive stored away, I have anothe Z4 coupe 3.0si but the plan is to put a S85 V10 with Manual gearbox, just looking for a reliable company to do this...

[@madaboutthe30]

I have an M identical to yours for a while and it still makes me smile. You haven't mentioned much about the rod bearing issue which burdens the S54. Would be great to know if its a myth or reality as queuing mine up to get the bearings replaced next year.

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Ours had a full rebuild prior due to this problem.. issue is the oil grade and time it takes to get to optimal viscosity 👍

[@madaboutthe30]

@@NVMotorsportUK thanks, the fact yours had a rebuild due to that problem, that reassures me that I need to get mine done 🙂

[@lloydlawrence2009]

It's definitely worth having the rod bearings for peace of mind especially if the car has had multiple owners over the years and you are unsure of it's history.

[@jaysworkshopgarage]

bro when you dropping some more e46 content always looking out when your videos drop 😂

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Soon 🙏🏽

[@e86nut]

Interesting, my car stock made 278WHP on the dyno. Once I got the carbon airbox and headers, it made 335WHP. Wonder if the type of dyno is a factor here.

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Our dyno measures parasitic loss.. where others estimate 👌

[@Jonathan-mk1ju]

B58 👀that will send it to the moon 🚀. Im still happy with my Z4 E86 mid life crisis, other than I have to fall in and fall out of it.

[@cozifpv2069]

Teasing the b58 swap 😅

[@NVMotorsportUK]

😵👀

[@francoismorainville712]

needs serious maintenance, i have one, and it works all smooth ... :)

[@garryhayward-bird4618]

Nice one mabz don't forget the fuel cant run without it 😅

[@NVMotorsportUK]

True that!

[@BigGingeBaldy]

Is the BHP that BMW quote at the flywheel? Or the Wheels?

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Flywheel in pre production on an engine dyno. Post production on a chassis dyno with parasitic measurements

[@frictionr6389]

what what your thoughts on a 90k mile 21k z4m roadster

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Think the value is in the pleasure it gives👌

[@djgravit-e3193]

I need more e46 content! 😂

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Aha😅

[@17t135i]

B58 swap, g35-1050, 100 to 200 in 4 seconds...that's what I'd do lol

[@NVMotorsportUK]

👀

[@jamesowendesign]

Dead battery lol! Welcome to the e85 / 86 platform

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Dont worry we resolved it in next episode 👍

[@jamesowendesign]

@@NVMotorsportUK Just be sure you never connect to Bluetooth. That’s what kept killing my batteries in my Z4 M Roadster

[@pereldh5741]

Actually cars generally don’t loose power if they’re properly serviced. Then again, not many cars are.
