    Stevofthahill's Bimmerfest 2010 Coverage

    You may remember my old thread from last year:



    Well here is my coverage of 2010 that starts now. Tuesday night on the way home from our local pre bimmerfest euromeet my car decided it wanted to crap out on me(alternator or battery went bad, both of which were replaced a month ago) after all the time, work, and money I've recently put into it. I was fairly pissed because it's literally been a month straight of working on my car nearly every day in preparation for Bfest. Deciding it was not worth the headache of trying to troubleshoot the issue a day before, plus the fact I had to work, I was given the rare opportunity to drive one of my dream cars to Pasadena.

    My poor baby a week before she decided to die...



    I've recently put Sparco Milano's, a ton of new interior bling, and 15mm spacers all around, so she was set and ready to go...but shit happens.

    Instead I will be driving this...
















    Z4M roadster: Looks entirely stock, minus the 285 drag radials on the back, but what lurks under the hood is what makes this car.



    This is ESS Tuning's brand new VT475 centrifugal supercharger kit. The car simply goes like hell and does not stop. I am incredibly fortunate because one of my close friends happens to be the software writer for ESS. I just have to make sure to keep myself out of trouble because a blown s54 is quite a different animal then an m42...

    That's all for this post as our AZBMW caravan will be departing in just over an hour and will be en route to Pasadena. I will keep this post updated daily with whatever shenanigans we find ourselves getting into.

    WOW. Sounds like a fun trip in the Z4. Sucks your car pooped though. I'm in the process of a headgasket in mine. No fun.

                            whoa whoa whoa.

                            Stickin your tongue in the holiest of holies ain't the same fuckin ballpark. It ain't the same league. It ain't even the same fucking sport. Look, M42s don't mean shit.
