What did you buy your Z4 this week?

[SgtFaceplant]

Thanks Mirko! I have thought about getting the Carly App. What are the pros/cons in your opinion?

Anyone replace the black plastic "dish" that surrounds the leather shift boot and is directly under the ebrake? Mine is cracked like this 1 pictured at the top edges and has a bunch of scratches from PO.

Thanks

I think you have to replace the entire transmission tunnel cover.

Custom headlights? I've been looking into doing the same with some businesses up here. Can't wait to see what you've done!

That looks really nice. The yellow marker is great contrast color against all of the black interior.

Here are a couple of quick iPhone snaps of the new wheels - sorry about the quality and the less than appealing background at the shop where I had these installed. VMR 718 in Hyper silver, 18 inch, staggered set.

The rims have a very concave profile which I really like. Also, the way the rim is done makes the spokes seem very long and when compared to my previous OEM 108 rims, it almost looks like a 19 inch rim. I think that's because the 108 rim has a thicker outer edge ring, so its spokes look shorter than those of the VMR. Either way, I love the new look. I'll post better pics over in the Wheels section when I can.

Forgot to mention the new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports on there. Loving those as well - whisper quiet, ride nice and stick like glue. And the headlights have been nicely restored with the Turtle Wax Headlight Restoration kit - best 15 bucks I ever spent. Even my Angry Pig hanging from the rear view mirror is grinning.

New STRIPE.

That looks pretty cool! What was the installation like?

[M-Cast]

Check out my headlights, I found a local guy in Atlanta who specializes in these. It took them about a week to finish, but well worth it.

[Huz-Z]

Okay now that looks really nice. Details?

[M-Cast]

I had a seal that broke in one, and instead of buying new headlights I sent them over and added new projectors, halos, M logo etching in the lense, LED's in the turn signals and then they painted the inside a satin black. We also had them add a ceramic coating over the lenses and then the added the eye lashes as a final touch.

The total cost was about 2k which was about the same as replacing them. I love it

those headlights are cool as F.

That's sick... It definitely bumps up the luxury level a notch (not that it takes much for a m coupe)

Yup. Definitely outshines (groan) my modest acquisition of a new torque wrench earlier this week to check the lugs on my 718 rims.

The headlights look truly awesome!

Pulled the trigger on a set of CF side skirt extensions made by AGT Styling, sold through ca-int.co.uk

Essentially the same as the ones Dubsesd had on his car.

PITA to go through a wire transfer to get them ordered, but hopefully it will prove worth it. When I get back from military training I'll be getting these put in, as well as my underdrive pulleys.

100% supporting this, super cool mod, even digging the eyelids !
It needs a little bit more work to get the turn signals working properly though. I would expect it to throw a bulb out warning as well in it's current condition as well as the turn signals flashing too fast.

Actually, I had them make the adjustment that last Saturday. Overall, I have been very pleased with them and they look much better in person. I have some additional mods coming very soon that will blow you away.

Make sure to report back I've been looking at those extensions as well.

Will do, and with pics. I'm out of town for some training until the 19th, but as soon as I get back, I'll install them. If they've arrived by then, that is. They quoted a 10 day production time, then however long it takes for shipping from the UK.

Total cost including shipping was $360.

Ordered OEM replacement side marker lights that are located behind the rear tires on the sides of the rear bumper and had them installed.

Ordered LED amber rear turn signals - awaiting their arrival.
