BMW Z4 Tussle

[nugget]

zzzzz, not sure why these threads often seem to end up as "the LCR is as fast as everything on the road" Yes its a quick car, especially when remapped and presents excellent value for money and will hold its own against a lot of more expensive cars.
However, its not the ONLY fast Seat, I dare say the Ibizas lighter and more nimble. I'd be interested to see the Ibiza Cupra R vs the LCR on a track, I quite like em, just weren't big enough inside for me.
In a straight line I'm sure the LCR will be as quick as the 3.0 beemer engine, however, I think AntFR was just trying to put a bit of perspective on the topic. On a track or even on winding A road, if the guy behind the wheel knows what he's doing he should leave an LCR, drawback of FWD.
Both cars have their plus points, and although I hated the Z3, I actually dont mind the look of the Z4 (for the mrs of course!!!)
Interesting debates I'm all for, but no need to start slagging each other off guys, we're all friends here !

PS. Raced a Bugatti Veyron on my unicycle yesterday, not sure if he was trying but I smoked him !!!

as vern said old Z4 3.0 is 230bhp and 220lb/ft, the later Z4 3.0si is 265BHP and 230lb/ft, weight seems to be a touch heavier than an LCR so I could well see a standard car keeping up with the old model and a chipped LCR keeping up with the si version

LOL
WHy is everyone getting so hep up? The hairdresser special has very similar power/torque and weight so straight line once moving they will be on a par. WHo cares what the 0-60 and top end are. We al know Leons will never beat a RWD car off the line with similar power but once moving they will be similar and what relivance has a track got to do with the origonal post?

A 3.0 Z3 has to be one of the most entertaining cars ive been in... rear wheel drive.. lots of power.. and no weight at the rear to keep the back down.

There are quite a few cars i would never have thought the LCR would have been a match for.. mind you theres also quite a lot thats suprised me... i wouldnt of expected a TDI C-Class estate to be quite as quick as it was, kind of under estimated it.

on "jealous cause you ain't got a proper hot hatch and have to have one made up?" well my reply to that, is there is never a polite way to say go feck yourself.

Why you feel the need to make derogatory comments like that, when i have made no nasty comments to you is beyond me.

But since you are 1- 0 up, can i just ask, how do you get a hat that fits with your 13" penis?

I agree with Keith. You haven't got an LCR as a daily drive and so whilst you are free to pass judgement, it isn't highly credible. I agree that the LCR is beatable. It isn't the fastest car on this earth, but it just sometimes seems that people are quick to knock others' cars when they don't have one. I've said before, I could easily go on any forum (Porsche, Lambo, anything) and say "yeah but why didn't........?" Anyway, Ant, did I strike a nerve??? Good. Get back in your toy car and drive.

Oh, and if it's a game we are playing, then I guess it's now 2-1.

i might not go out now then lol

Ouch!!!

 

[Ant FR]

number of the beast you have hurt my feelings so much, in fact i am sitting here in tears, oh i so wanted an LCR why did'nt i get one, My god, i am not sure i can live with myself anymore.

And as for you comment about jump in my toy car, thats really hit a nerve, in fact it hurt so much i am too depressed to descriibe,

so depressed in fact i am gonna stay in tonight, So do me a favour and tell ya mum i won't be round tonight//////////////

I thank you.

I think its called agrea to disagrea mate, maybe be you should come on one of the track days and set the record straight.

finished from my end now

 

[keithrann]

Yeh. Think we should end this bitching contest now.

 

[Madmile]

Done em all, from 1.9L to the m-coupes.

 

[toledoChris]

Had a Z4 come storming up behind my Tolly (1.8 20v) a few months back, it must have only been a 2.0 but I was extremely suprised when it couldnt keep up with me when I booted it as the traffic cleared.

 

[YerMother]

On paper a Z4 3.0si (258HP version as vern said) is slightly quicker with 203BHP/Ton with a chipped LCR only being around 196BHP/Ton obviously thats feck all but other factors need to be taken into account such as aerodynamics etc.

Oh standard LCR 222 HP is 168BHP/Ton

 

[NumberoftheBeast]

Oooh this is my first ever SCN argument... good innit?!

Ant, my Mum was abused as a child and henceforth commited suicide last Christmas; I doubt you saw her last night. As for a trackday, I'll keep my eyes peeled. I am sure your "pow-pow-power wheel" will blast me away (side note-anyone remember these and want one of them as a kid?!)

Nite nite sweetie

xxx

P.s. I agree to disagee, Ant. Now put back that Voodoo doll, inhale and count to ten.
