So I will order a set from ECS with the link you kindly provided.

You're gonna beat me to the punch in performing this replacement. Please let us know if I screwed up and it does take more than one set

I'm also curious as to how difficult it will be to remove and re-attach the headliner to the back of the cover.

Mine has a small crack in it, but I'm going to hold out until it's a big crack.

Mine was hanging from the left side since I got it.

There are two little clips on both sides that attach to the roof, these little clips are plastic and break.

My windshield frame cover had cracks at most of the holes for the screws, so it was a matter of time when it wouldn't stay attached and kept falling down, WHILE DRIVING. It was embarrassing.

So, hence the new frame cover.

Added the CTEK Comfort Connect extension cable (2.5m/8'2") to give more slack in connecting the charger to the Z4 eyelet accessory for inside the engine compartment.

Couple of questions for ya if i may, Where did you buy these from? Second, you know what the part # is for the 2 screws/bolts? I found 2 places that sell these kit boxes, but none mention anything about the hardware.

have the Bmw part #?
edit: found the part #07149169302 but its no longer available
Thanks

I used hardware I had around the house. It's nothing exotic. I only needed to buy the mounting brackets, which are still available. I got the boxes themselves from another member on this forum in the classifieds section. Are you sure they're not still available? I know the first aid kit that's supposed to go inside them can still be purchased, and I'd be willing to bet the boxes will fit under an assortment of seats, not just zeds.

Over the past two weekends I installed an APR Splitter and AGT Side Skirts. While I had the bumper off, using inspiration from inTgr8r and Mirko (and a few others) I also fabricated a magnetic plate mount. Over the winter planning to send the bumper off to fill in the holes, fix the fangs, and respray.

Just came back from my local club's season end show & shine and walked away with Best Z Series among some fierce competition (I honestly didn't think I would/should have gotten it), but I'm happy nonetheless.

Congrats Rockstar93!

What detailing products do you use for your paint, and your tires?

Car has a Ceramic Pro coating which certainly helps keep it clean and shiny. But a mix of Mother's and Meguiar's products, car wash shampoo, carnuba paste wax, and a a final coat of Quik Wax. ArmorAll for the tires (though I've been told to stay away from their other products).

zgood4u · 10-02-2017, 06:21 AM

Got inspection done (valve adjustment, fluids changed, etc..), new tires, and a detail. Baby is very pleased.

My favourite hoodie haha. Christmas present from the girlfriend back when I had the IR Roadie and IB Coupe - based off the 2016 Zpost calendar cover.

Thanks.

It's Santorini Blue which was an individual option.
Similar to LSB but it doesn't have that turquoise element to it.
Of the +16K E92M3s made for N.Amer. there were 22 produced in Santorini.

Replaced the battery with one from Auto Zone.
H-6 AGM at $206 with $18 core.

Wow - the prices sure went up on batteries

My last AGM from AutoZone was less than $170, IIRC
