Just gave my buddies Z8 a quick go on a deserted road..
got killed... sure MAF #7 is dead...but dont think even a new one would have made much of a difference... the bimmer really hauls..also for a factory exhaust it has a real nice tone to it...nice and loud...sounds alot like a 60s muscle car...

would really put the hurt on a stage three 180... It seems to have alot of torque..awhole lot of torque... you know though for the money...the interior isnt that impressive... its got 18 inch re040s on it... couldnt see any bubbling though...

That shouldn't be happening...>>>
Looked into any other causes? Done any VAG runs?
Marcus came over yesterday and we swapped MAF's around. He thought his was bad too, but we got clean readings on his car and mine. Turned out to be a randomly sticking DV (we believe). Rob's had N75 problems with similar symptoms. just ordered the VW one to do some testing and have as a spare. For $45 you can't go too wrong.
