Oh and if you do get a s54 make sure they did the recall service on the connecting rod bearings

By the time the S54 got to the Z3's that issue was resolved, it was mainly the early year E46 M3's.

The Z4's are great, the main reason being there is so much god damn room in that engine bay. I swear, you could reach your hand in the back of the engine and easily touch the top of the bell housing. . .so awesome. Plus the Coupe's are sexy as hell.

Car Info: BMW X5M. No more twinscroll LGT

picked up the car saturday...what a blast!

really enjoying it......just going to change out the radiator to a full alum setup and change the water pump.

Power steering pump has a small leak so might swap that out too.

Otherwise, it's everything I wanted.

1st autocross with it this sunday!
