I lucked out. The weather has been so good in Michigan that I was able to install my new H&R coilovers and HRE wheels.

Looks Good, the ride height looks good. How did the 15mm spacers work?

Honestly I haven't driven it yet but in the rear I set the fender about 15 mm's above the tire and looks like it should clear. I think the key is going with a 265 tire which stretches the tire slightly and gives that extra clearance to the fender. My only complaint is the slight stretch makes the 30 profile tire look a bit thin in a side view. Other than that I'm happy.

Agreed. Even my 275 tire on 9.5" rim looked a bit stretch, so I can image how 265 tire on 10" rim will look. Drive one of the front up a ramp or driveway to put some compression on the opposite rear to see how much room you have between tire and fender/bumper - you may be able to fit 275s on there on the next tire swap.

Those HREs look perfect on the car

Swapped garages with my E92. The Z4 is too bone stock and not yet detailed, so no proper photoshoot yet

Nothing too fancy, 18" TSW Bathurst Alloys with 255 tires stretched over a 9.5J wheel. Also a stretch on the front, it makes the alloys standout more. Tyres are a mid range Falken.

The suspension is Sachs shocks on Eibach springs.

I detailed my 130i and felt guilty to not at least washing the Z4MC, so this happened....

Yeah I agree. I think they are a classic wheel for any BMW.

Looks awesome! How is the ride quality on the crappy roads around here with the 19s and the H&R coilovers?

The farthest I've driven it is down my driveway to make sure I can make it onto the street without bottoming out. Didn't want to take the car onto salty MI roads. I'll report back when I do but I'm expecting improvements from my tired old shocks. I also am replacing my FCAB's so that should help as well.

Got carried away with the inside too, not bad for 10 years and 70,000 miles

Interior for an 06 and 70k miles ain't too shabby either. Of course, I've redone a lot of it including a new steering wheel. *oh snap, need a newer pic of the interior with the carbon mirror covers too!*
