Z33's must be m3 magnets

For some reason "hipsters and ricers" love them in my area, especially the older '80s/'90s models so you can automatically group them as douchebags.
Guys in e46/e92's always try to mess with me on the road, I just ignore them.

A few years ago I was driving home from where my van pool drop of point, this guy in a Porsche Carrera 4S pulls up next to me taunting me to race him, the road we were on was a 55 MPH zone with very little traffic but I just ignored him and minded my own driving. Then a few miles down the road I find he made the same turn I do and I pull up behind him at a red light, The dude starts reving his engine and at the green takes off, so do I and I stayed about 3 feet off his bumper, just toying with him and at 55 MPH I stop and he just kept going as there was a light change he ran it yellow but I saw no point.
A few seconds later I hear a noise, it's a local cop in an unmarked Crown Vic on his loud speaker telling me "If I ever see you do that again I'm going to impound your car for 30 days", I never did anything like that again.

I've owned both (sold the e46 to get a Z)... Wife drives an Audi Q5. The younger the crowd, the more common this is... It has nothing to do with the car. Kids will act like kids, regardless of which car they drive.
Germans actually enjoy checking out the Z, as it's a rare sight here. BMWs and Audi's are the chevy and ford of Germany.

Go with kw variant 3 when you do your suspension. That is what I got and couldn't be happier. Also I would recommend doing your lower control arm bushings because the oem rubber ones will wear faster with upgraded suspension. I would do swaybars only if you plan on doing the endlinks at the same time because the oem's are swiss cheese with a stiffer sway bars.
I really want to meet up with some locals and demo their suspension before I go all in.

Are these offending LCA bushings on the front? Thanks for the pointers. I'm not looking to lower much. 1 inch at the most. I think the front sits fine stock. the rear looks like a 4 runner with the 305s. The rear end squat under wot is ridiculous and results in wheelspin even with sticky rubber in 1st and 2nd.

The Audi television ad about the Audi driver slowing down to not spray the pedestrians walking nest to a puddle and the BMW driver plowing through the puddle and soaking them is LOL funny, and very true. What I am going to say is stereotyping and therefore not universal, but the mean (average) BMW driver is a selfish a**hole. And my wife is even more negative than I am.....good cars if a little pricey and expensive to maintain though.
