I gave my car a much deserved & long awaited garage space. When I bought my MC, one of my wife's conditions of approval was that she would not lose the garage spot for her Mini (A request driven by convenience, not protection from elements). We have what is technically a one car garage in San Francisco. Wide enough for 2 cars, but a 10 foot wide door. Fitting 2 cars would necessitate removal of 2 posts, and offsetting the cars in a way that either could get out without moving the other. I did a lot of planning, both in CAD, and taping out on the floor to make sure it would work. I finally pulled the trigger, putting in a bigger beam & required posts & footings in order to enlarge the parking area. I also had to move the main sewer line and clear huge amount of crap - 15 years worth of detritus. Much to my satisfaction, the cars fit with enough space to open doors & circulate. Getting in and out is a bit of a skilled move, but doable.

Phase 2 will be installation of cabinets in lieu of open shelves & epoxy floor.

That's the most extreme length I've heard of to have this car! Well done!

Those seats, they're a work of art! Seat belts complete the picture by providing a frame.

Also waiting for the KW Clubsports I purchased from Finnegan, who purchased from inTgr8r (they get around!). And finally, this completes the mods for the Z4M. No really, it does.

There are always brake ducts! You should be set for a awhile. It never ends. Ask Ian.

You'll get faster and then...

I'm hoping to have my Stoptech front BBK and Brembo conversion installed late next week, then coilovers shortly after. I'll be using Stoptech stickers on the front and rear calipers once they are painted, just so the logos match.

Interested in how the BBK conversion pans out.

Eventuri intake, new set of Star Specs for my 17s, oil change kit. Been away from home for the last six months for work. Time to play! It's Roadster season in CA and the Grand Prix in Monterey is a month away. YeeHa!

Saw our very own Patrick Carpentier win back to back in Monterey in 03-04
Lovely track, love California

I purchased a new set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires and had them installed. Yeah! No more Runflats for me! Happy dance time.

JimG Z4 · 04-01-2015, 12:02 PM

Finally ditched the run-flats. What a difference - A LOT quieter and a more comfortable ride...glad I made the change.

DanFromTucson · 04-01-2015, 12:11 PM

Over the last 3 weeks, I did all this on my Coupe:

· Installed SuperSprint V1 Stepped Headers and Section 1 with Cats
· Rerouted rear O2 Sensors
· Installed VibraTechnic Motor Mounts
· Installed Auto-Solutions Short Shifter
· Installed Motorsport engine mount bolts + Nord Locks
· Adjusted valves
· Performed Coolant Flush (while I had easy access to the block drain)
· CPV Valve O-ring upgrade (OEM was leaking)
· Bimmerworld Vanos Line (OEM line was leaking)
· Replaced high pressure power steering line (another leak)
· Extended condensation drain line so it doesn't drip on transmission mounts (Rogue previously installed)
· Replaced windshield washer pump and cleaned reservoir
· Changed the oil and requested a BlackStone report for good measure

Not bragging, but I am a little proud of myself. :-)

I had been accumulating parts for a long time, and finally had an opportunity to do all this work.

Vanne · 04-01-2015, 03:17 PM

Good stuff Dan, glad you got it all done. Its ever so nice when you get some time to work on the car. Hows Mt "A" going? Been a while since I was up that way. Lived there for 2 years working out at Ryan. ;-)

Ryan Airfield? I haven't lived in Tucson for a few years, but I go back a lot to visit family. "A" Mountain is sad following the U of A loss to Wisconsin this weekend.

these just came via UPS today:

I'll be happy to get rid of the elongated antenna.

Cyclops · 04-02-2015, 01:24 PM

Pads, Sensor & Caliper Paint. We'll see how it turns out!

SD ///M4 · 04-03-2015, 09:53 PM

It's actually been over the last 2-3 months, but I bought the SmarTOP Roof Top Control. A little pricey but a great product!

On the maintenance side, replaced a dead battery and replaced the worn-out Michelin Pilot Super Sports with a new pair on the rear.

Vanne · 04-03-2015, 11:07 PM

Thanks Vanne! Now I need to get them wrapped in some PSS's. I always appreciate your positive contributions on this forum.

MZHammer · 04-04-2015, 02:35 PM

Not purchased this week, but I installed an aFe CAI today. A few revs in the garage sounded good, so looking forward to getting the car out later in the week.
