Saphire schwarz ///M coupe / HRE wheels

L3c7ra · 05-08-2012, 07:04 PM

Hello
I became a member of this site a few minutes ago.
Long time fan since I bought my first BMW 15 years ago
Some of my previous favourite cars are E30M3 Cecotto, E36M3 individual, Porsche 993 Carrera, E39 M5 and now finally in a Z4 ///M coupe.

I wanted to stop and introduce myself and my new baby before going any further and seeing what wealth of info and advice I can get from the site.
Bought it 6 weeks ago and will probably start changing some stuff here and there soon..

Some of my old & current cars:

E36 M3 individual

E39 528i

E30 M3 CECOTTO

993 C2

E39 ///M5

E61 touring

You have great taste.

dubsesd · 05-08-2012, 07:19 PM

i was hoping to see some HRE wheels fitted. i love the touring!

L3c7ra · 05-08-2012, 07:19 PM

So.. first got the car detailled

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=260256

After that the hunt for a set of nice wheels started.
The result is a nice set of HRE 540R

L3c7ra · 05-08-2012, 07:22 PM

That's it for now.
Next will be coilovers (H&R or Bilstein)

@seank: Thks

@dubsesd: I was resizing/uploading....

Shota15 · 05-08-2012, 07:30 PM

Congrats, Nice mix of vehicles

dubsesd · 05-08-2012, 07:36 PM

very nice. they will compliment your car color very well. i have the H&R coilovers and i love them.

also, read your detail thread. great work, the interior turned out beautiful. really brought the leather to the factory matte finish

nekky · 05-08-2012, 08:16 PM

Awesome choice man! I love your old E36 butman, 993s are "the car" for me and still make my heart flutter at the thought of owning a nice example.. very cool. Welcome aboard!

PS. Where in Belgium are you? I've spent a decent amount of time in Geel (close friends) as well as some of the major centres.

SCHMOUPE · 05-08-2012, 09:49 PM

wow that E61 is secks!

L3c7ra · 05-09-2012, 10:51 AM

@dubsesd: I think i will go for H&R.
You can't compare it on a different car but i was very happy with them on my 528i
Bilstein PSS9 on the E39M5 was also great but is much more expensive.

@nekky: I'll second that... 993's are very very special cars.
Geel ! that's 20 minutes from where i'm located.
Probably the best indie BMW shop is located in Geel.

BIMMERGUY91 · 05-09-2012, 10:58 AM

Welcome to the forum! Those are some beautiful HRE's. I think you would like the H&R coilovers I have had mine for close to 6 months now and they ride about like stock and the handling is amazing.

mpm3 · 05-12-2012, 02:42 PM

those pics ! are awesome great taste

CJW2OO4 · 05-13-2012, 01:11 PM

damn that deatiling job was incredible. I need to detail my car like that but i am a newb.

zubydafa · 05-17-2012, 12:20 AM

holy smokes

that's an amazing detail job.

how did you do the mufflers? they look like new!

L3c7ra · 10-13-2012, 07:19 PM

It's been a while but finally i have my H&R coilovers.
I also bought a second, well third set of wheels.
One of my all time favourites BBS CH wrapped in Michelins.
HRE wheels are still in the garage
Few piccies..

Rated M Roadster · 10-13-2012, 08:52 PM

Looks great!

dubsesd · 10-13-2012, 08:55 PM

nice wheels, but i prefer to see those hre's mounted

nekky · 10-15-2012, 04:21 PM

Looking awesome man! Can't wait to see the HREs mounted too but you nailed those CHs.

I'll let you know next time I'm back in Belgium lol
