Next gen Z4 has particulate filter for EU markets, BMW has stated EU model will be down 50hp compared to US model. CAN models should not have the particulate filter, they fall under US-spec. |

It is true, it was in several recent M40i Z4 reviews. Some info pulled from articles on other forums. Apparently big topic on Porsche forums as well.

However, something does not add up. If GPF rob that much power, it would imply that they significantly hurt engine efficiency, yet they are said to have minimal impact on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Perhaps it's a sizing question, where the filter they install can only reasonably handle the particulates of 335hp instead of 385, at the risk for failing emissions or failing the filter. Therefore the engine is tuned for 335 instead of 385.

Perhaps. But it is a brand new design and not a retrofit on the Z4. Not sure why they would make the GPF “too small”.

We dropped off the car at TT Car Transit at CDG outside Paris and we probably won't see the car again until late September or early October.

Either ways it's extremely short sighted on BMW's part. There's always the chance that the car was form over function. And or they planned on cheating the system like VW did, and now realize they probably shouldn't or can't get away with it. We may never know |

The 2015 and early 2016’s had a lot more torque down low. When was your car made in 2016? Unfortunately US BMW’s are being affected by European regulations. At the very least, your car is heavier than previous variants, for a filter that is not required in the US. I personally think US cars should be produced as before with the CF shaft. I understand that is an issue in production, but it is a shame the car is not as originally advertised. Glad that you enjoyed the trip and the car |

Mine is F80 ZCP with a 7/21 build date. I've asked the dealer to check for both SDS and PPF during post delivery inspection. Will let you all know when i take delivery later this month.

Hi, I´m new here, so greetings from Czech Republic. This forum has helped me a lot to get information about M3.
I took some pictures of my driveshaft yesterday. Can somebody confirm that it is definetly steel DS? It looks like steel, but who knows, maybe it is just the steel end of DS. My car is Prod.date: 2018-05-08 F80 with manual transmition and competition packet. I can´t find a particulate filter on my exhaust so I hope it isn´t there. Can you recognize it from this picture? Thanks |
