Hi guys,
As I'm new on this forum, here's an extended introduction of me, but more importantly my car :wink:
My (real) name is Kris, I'm 35 (since thursday) and was born and raised in Belgium (around the area of Brussels). I currently own my second Z4 (E85 roadster 2.2i). Before that I had another Z4 (E85 roadster 2.5i) which I swapped for a 911 (996 model, 2002). I quickly swapped the 911 back for a Z4 after having loads of trouble with it. I chose a lighter engine on purpose as they seem more reliable and I'm using the car only in the weekend for sun & fun anyway.
I bought my car last summer and she now has about 95.000 kms.
Here are some specs when I bought it:
E85 roadster - Z4 2.2I - 170PK
Colour BLACK SAPPHIRE METALLIC (475)
Leather OREGON/BEIGE (LAAB)
Black soft top
Options: rims 108-style with RFT's (never again!), wood trim, heated seats, PDC, automatic airco, business radio-CD, white indicators, aero side skirts, aero rear bumper lip, stainless steel tips
She looked like this when I bought her end of june 2012:
Since then, I changed quite a bit:
- K&N airfilter (in the original filter box)
- wooden interior parts replaced by brushed metal (the wood made my eyes bleed)
- Quad exhaust conversion
- remap (15hp extra and much better throttle response)
- Blacked out third brake light
- Blacked out side indicators
- symmetrical tail lights
- Stubby
- comfort light module (fogs running as DRL's, 3-times indicator on touch, angels on/off on locking/unlocing the car)
- Gaptech roof module
- Angel eyes (cut and shut)
- Homemade airscoop
- red painted calipers
- aluminium short shift gear knob
- aluminium handbrake handle
- aluminium radio knob
- fog bulbs replaced with leds
- extra white HiD bulbs for headlights
- black hey holes
- full tail lights lighting up on breaking
- de-french fried
- cruise control retrofit
So today she looks like this:
Exterior:
Interior:
Mods coming up:
- 3cm drop
- multi-functional steering wheel
- hardwired GPS in OEM housing (flip-screen)
- Aluminium pedals
- Aluminium door pins
- 19" rims with regular tyres
- New front bumper (M-type front and rear with facelift tail lights, or Aero front only, not sure yet)
- replace interior lights and license plate lights with leds
- footwell lights retrofit (with leds)
- mid muffler delete
- clutch delay valve (cdv) delete
- replace catalytic converters by sportcats for better flow (and sound)
- etc...
