Some new pics of the Z4

Had some good weather this weekend and i had a chance to put the suspension on along with the wheels.

Suspension is konis w/eibachs. wheels are EAS CSL staggered reps with Goodyear Eagel F1 GS-D3's (235/35/19 Front 265/30/19 Rear). 40mm offset up front and 45 in the rear

the ride with the new suspension is as good if not better than the factory suspension in my opinion. and i was expecting a little bit of a harsher ride with the 19's but i really can't tell a difference compared with my stock 17's

Looks sweet with the 19's on. It really filled up the gap. And also glad to hear the new suspension is working out. I thought you had the BavAuto springs. Did you switch?

thanks roger! yeah i ended up buying the eibachs and will be sending the bavauto springs back for store credit. its unfortunate that they didnt work out but there is a significant difference in ride height between the two so im glad i made the switch

haha you found me! yeah man putting the springs side by side, the eibachs were about 3/4"-1" lower than the bavauto springs. so i guess my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.

lol i was waiting for someone to notice. that parking deck is a hot spot for people to go and "get busy" if you know what i mean. so i assume he was up there for that reason. he was cool about me taking pics though so whatever

Looks great!

Care to comment on change in performance (quickness-wise) with the larger wheels? Considering this for my 3.0i as well.

acceleration wise, i didnt notice any change at all.

once i put my winter wheels back on i can give you a better answer since ill be used to driving on these

to be honest, not a big fan of the bumper conversions they have for the z4. someone had recommended the aero bumper but in my opinion i think it looks kinda goofy. doesnt go well with the car at all (my opinion of course).

if i were to do any kind of bumper change, it'd be an M bumper but i dont have plans on changing it anytime soon.

Wheels look nice and the ride heights is awesome. What's next, how about getting a white light package and getting rid of all that orange?

too much work for something that really doesnt make it look THAT much better. in my opinion, i feel the orange gives it some contrast and looks pretty good.
