You, sir, are good. Type 7 Swan Neck. It's pretty cool that Voltex actually has an E85 trunk and will be custom spec'ing the wing for this platform. This means it will include proper Voltex trunk reinforcements and be optimized for this car. While I could have gone with a more readily available Typ7SN such as S2k spec I liked the idea of ordering something so bespoke/special. To my knowledge, it may be the very first!

I'm trying not to count down the days, ~305 days seems like a long time. I am looking at it by months though, I'm already 10% done with the wait

Complicated story, but yes and no. Once my Skyer lip spoiler arrives everything will be buttoned up together!

[tiltmode43]

Ah, got excited about the Voltex wing, forgot to mention I also ordered the Skyer lip spoiler on 11/15/16 via this thread -> http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1319217. This should help hold me over until Voltex comes in and at that point, I may rock the two together pending fitment and aesthetics.

Skyer trunk spoiler:



To get an idea of wing + spoiler I'll leave these S2000 pics here for reference. These sorts of mods are very popular in the S2k community, both show and the quickest hardcore track cars. I may get a lot of heat for them in the Z4 world (let alone BMW world), but it will be worth it to continue to build the car with my own vision, rather than what is accepted as cool.

This is a Voltex Type 2 (guessing) with side mounts with a trunk spoiler below (looks like OEM S2k spoiler perhaps?). The Skyer lip spoiler should be similar, though slightly sleeker and in carbon:


Below is a Voltex Type 7 Swan Neck with a larger trunk lip spoiler:


Lastly, what may end up being the last shot of the rear of my car without any sort of spoiler!

Should look good Matt.
I'm planning to do a lip under my APR wing as well.

Nice! You going GT-250 or GTC-200?

[Beedub]

the car looks awesome!! not to keen on the body kit, but each to their own and really nice to see someone doing something different with their ///M!!

welldone, if we can workout fitment you will be SUPER happy with the carbon skyer spoiler..... its a BEAUTIFUL and i mean beautiful piece, quality is fantastic, it will work really well with the APR unit.

Forgot to post this bit - a few months ago I was walking towards my car and noticed something on my windshield. As I got closer, I realized it was a religious pamphlet.



GOOD enough to go to heaven? Seemed kind of corny at best. I happened to glance at the back and legitimately laughed when I saw their personal note, kudos to whoever left this on my window (and potentially blessed or cured my Z4)!



I received the Skyer trunk lip spoiler today. Took some photos from a lunchtime test fit. Can't wait to have this properly installed and take pics from other angles, love how it tastefully exaggerates the trunk lines for a more aggressive, yet clean look. The ricer in me loves the small dash of exposed carbon too. Downside now is I realized how crusty my 3rd brake light is, time to order a replacement.

Agreed, I am really digging it! I didn't look at the fitment too detailed, was a bit rushed, but overall am sure I'll be happy with the piece.

Been quite some time since an update here:

-Voltex is in transit, ETA later this month. If it comes in that means a total wait time of 9 months, 1 month sooner than expected! Not holding my breath, but really can't wait to get this thing - can't believe it's been 9 months since I made the purchase.

-VMR flow formed V801 installed. Currently 18x9.5 ET35 w/5mm spacers front for ET30 & 18x9.5 ET25 w/3mm spacers in rear for ET22 with 265/35/18 Nexen Sur4 tires on all four corners. These tires run WIDE. Wider than the equivalent Yokohama AD08r that I had previously.

The front rubs under hard cornering due to the annoying bumper connecting tabs between the fenders and the Hamann. Rather than chop all of this off and relocate the bumper connecting area I'm doing to downsize to 255/35 fronts for now. Once I get camber plates and re-align I'll add clearance to run the 265's up front - unfortunately going with a higher offset isn't a possibility as inner clearance is maxed out (3mm clearance between tire and spring perch with the effective 9.5 ET30).



edit:

Forgot, a few pics from photoshoot thread, may as well post here (link to thread here -> http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?p=22079974)






Also forgot, the V703's are for sale if anyone is interested -> http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?p=22079979

more pics ASAP plzzz

[ZeD4Mr]

I was looking at those VMR V801 as well. What finish did you get and do you know how much they weight?

[AriuSen]

Wow. What a project. Nice OP! Can?t wait to see the wing on!

Anthracite Metallic! I didn't actually weigh them but should be around 21-22lbs. This design of wheel won't ever be the *lightest* possible because there is quite a bit of material on the face, but the weight is low enough and I couldn't be happier with the styling after seeing them installed. I'm swapping front tires tonight, will try to grab a weight when the wheel is off.

I can't wait either! May not install right away but will definitely test-fit. I'm curious how Voltex spec'd this out for the M Roadster. Also curious if it will clear the hardtop! haha.


Just a quick pic snapped last night after getting home. Tire shine is needed BAD! Will be shining them up after the replacement 255's go on today to replace the 265's and eliminate rubbing on fender-bumper connecting tab under hard cornering. More pics to come soon!

Looks great Matt, love the new rims man. Sets it off perfectly. Whole package coming very nicely together mate. Top notch.

[Hammam]

The M4-GTS-Styl-V801 match so much better to your car as the previous CSL-Style-VMR'S!!!!

[Beedub]

those rims are actually perfect.

Well done for being different!! car looks so much cooler than most things on the market today.... great achievement.

Thanks everyone! I love the V801 style quite a bit. It looks good on newer cars but looks just as much at home on our E8x platform IMO. It helps modernize the car, compared to the wheels I had on before. I have some track pics to post and will be doing a proper photoshoot shortly too!

Also, VERY excited to say that the Voletex wing came a month early, it's now at the shop!

Ordered: 11/22/16
ETA: 09/22/17
Arrival: 08/23/17

Big updates to come!
