I can't wait... I pick my car up at the dealership tomorrow. I haven't seen it since 12/20!

Please be sure to be mindful of your oil temp.
Punch it AFTER the stick is in the middle.

there is no difference except technically you are allowed to rev it higher and push the gas harder.

Erhan · 02-11-2011, 09:23 AM

Mine is tomorrow (saturday). I'm only at 950 though. I'll put another 100 before the service. Well, still can't wait

Several times I was close to WOT and once I was WOT, but never passed 5.5krpm (except one downshift).

I really wanna rev this engine

So, by now, the service must have been done...?

Oh yes

It took them about 2 hours which we (me and my fiance) waited while having brunch at downtown seattle (the dealer is just south of dt). Everything is ok, except the engine oil is a little low. It is exactly between min and mid points of the scale. I will stop by the dealer sometime this week to top it off. Engine sounded a little rough-ish at wot especially at high rpms, but I'm not sure if this is because of the oil level. I'm not even sure if it is actually rough.. This is the first time I took it to past 5krpm with hard acceleration.

I'm not redlining yet, but I pushed close to 7krpm this past sunday. This car is so quick, I can't go near full throttle on windy roads... The issue is, it corners so fast, and if you accelarate at wot after the corner you're past 70-80mph which is a little reckless (to me) on public roads where the speed limit is 35-40mph.

Comparing to Z4MC, M3 feels as planted and as fast. I'm sure when I take the M3 to the auto-x, I will feel the increased weight more, but aside from low speed sharp turns, M3 is faster. At least it gives me more confidence than the Z4MC did, so I can push more.

Can't wait to take this car to auto-x, then to pacific raceways for HPDE
