I found the ride harsh in the z4m. How are you finding it?
I love that car. E36 based z3 m-coupe with S54 is one of my favorite/dream cars. That said, the z4m-c is pretty nice too.

Yes. S2B. It's in annual now getting hooker harnesses and stuff. 370hr TT. I wanted to do the MT prop but it costs about what I paid for the M... So it'll have to wait. No snaps until then...

The S-2B is a great machine, did my Pitts checkout in one. I owned a 1984 S-1S which I sold in 2013, very much miss it. Now in a 2006 built RV-7. The Hartzell Claw is the best prop you can hang on the nose of a B if you can swallow the price.

I'm in Canada (Calgary,AB) and fly out of CYBW. Indeed, the Claw is pricey.

Nice. Maybe you can fly down for our next neighborhood fly in - it's a trek but would be fun! We have plenty of room in the hangar and a place to stay if you're ever down this way and its a 30 minute drive to Atlanta.

My neighborhood (and the surrounding area) is totally RV country. We've got a couple guys building now, and many, many flying examples. Ive got friends on the field with RV6/7/8/10s.

Thanks. Hopefully it's more reliable than the E39 M has been.. But it's a BMW so ya know. At least the turn signals work since they're never used

Nice pickup. I want to redo the clear bra on my CR. Is there any significant paint damage from removing it?
