i was waiting for a dyno pull with the new software for a sound clip and also thinking of deleting the two little resonators in the middle of the system for more sound, we will see.

also updated more pics with my new BBK.

love the look of the car and the wheels, question for you, are these wheels a direct bolt on or did you require spacers? Thanks!

nope their a direct bolt on no spacers required, if your running an M you will need spacers on the rear for sure.

I got them from car-part.com a local junk yard had them in stock from a wrecked Z4 and I scored them for $625 for the set.

keep a weathered eye and great deals pop up all the time sometime junk yards don’t know what they have.

as you can see its a lot nicer without all that text! lol hey i know its not for everyone but its not like i stuck a 6 speed shif knob on their either.......

oh as for the "retrofit" i had to find a home for the wires and such or the car wont shift into sport mode and such so its not just a quick plug and play and run so "retrofit" isnt really the right term for what i did so sorry for being silly !

The BBK was a custom job, I modified a 135i brake caliper set to work with my Z suspension, I reworked the caliper carrier to work with the Z4M rotor. And had some custom brake hoses made. If your interested I have one more set I can make for you. Since I don't have an M I can only make it work with non M Z4's as I haven't been able to work with the M's suspension.
