Oops, am I missing the point about the performance upgrades?

E89 interior is a real improvement over E85's. Exterior subjective (depend on person), but interior is classy.

Between the 2 cars, I prefer the 2.5SI (much newer, facelifted model + engine) - but the interior is not my cup of tea. Maybe just swapping out the wood trim would help. In any case, the price seems on the high side to me.

I would suggest patience - continue waiting for a good condition 2.5SI (don't go for the 2.5I unless the deal is super good) in an exterior and interior colour that you like.

Re: All about Z4 (E89/ E86/ E85) thread

Thank you gurus for your input!

Yup the main reason for comparing both is due to the interior of the 2.5Si as well as the soft top colour, the older Z4 is 3.0 and and a nice colour combi

I agree that the current Z4 interior is much classier but out of price range

Take a look at this one: Used BMW Z4 2.5SI Car for Sale in Singapore, Hua Yang Credit - sgCarMart

I've seen the actual car before when I was shopping around. Exterior and interior both looked a bit worn, but can be freshened up I suppose (repaint and reupholster if you want, but both are pricey).

I think it has been sitting around for a long time so you may be able to bargain more aggressively.

Did you check for leaks as it would lose a bunch of low end torque ? Always wary of that as what had happened with mine .......... Had the same feeling of power loss so I decided to use another workshop to audit the work done.

Workshops behave differently when it comes to auditing another workshop's work (versus going back to the same workshop to hear lame excuses - "like its normal").

Saw black marks at the joints and using a rubber hose like a sethoscope could hear hissing / ticking sound when ramming the accelerator. Apparently a gasket was missing on one of the joints and welding was weak at another spot ......... Once fixed - power was back.

Raidengear got the same exo and has the same ride as me; he can feel the power lost too so I guess it should be the exo issue. The joint is more like a clip, they didn't weld it together tho. Could that be the reason of the power lost?

Hey, nice meeting you yesterday.

I also experiencing quite noticeable low-end loss after installing aftermarket exos... sigh...
