There is no comparison to the ALPHA Chassis my friend...it stops there and this is the ALPHA II so it's slightly lighter and a magnitude stiffer. The suspension and chassis are attached but don't communicate with each other almost completely isolated from one another. It's so good after driving your 4BW and then driving another car it will feel like a tin can and the loosest suspension you felt in a vehicle for quite some time. Enjoy your 4BW these are cars imo that you don't sell but keep at all costs!Back in the day I occasionally used to park next to a guy with a nice E46M3. Sometimes I was in my Audi S4 and sometimes in the ZHP. We talked cars quite a bit and he was shocked when I told him I preferred driving the Audi over the BMW. The BMW was and is great - but totally stock (and I never removed the CDV as not to upset the wife...its still her daily driver of sorts). The S4 was just a beast and had tons of aftermarket upgrades not just to the engine/drivetrain... My explanation as to why I preferred the Audi was that it was more "trick" and while with the ZHP I might be slightly ahead of the pack....in the Audi the "pack" was usually far behind. I'm hoping the 4BW might sort of split the difference. It certainly won't be as raw and direct as the ZHP - but should be as good as one can expect from a reasonably affordable sedan these days. And it should have plenty of go...
Well I'm looking forward to all the ways the Blackwing will better my ZHP! LOLI like that with the Blackwing (CT4 in my case), I can drive in tour mode with a nice compliant but sporty suspension and get more serious incrementally from there. I prefer it over my brother's 330 ZHP package. Too stiff, always felt harsh. My Z4 (2nd gen) seemed to be a better handling car despite not being sprung as stiffly.
