And with the supercharger it has becomed a perfect match....

I have not driven a Z4M before, but have driven a few E46 M3s. This feels way faster

Very nice
Maybe consider a WMI system to keep the IAT's lower, it is really going to be tough to get cool intake air.

Where is the MAF sensor (hot airfilm) located on the N52?
Does this particular set up use a by pass or blow off valve??

The brakes look fantastic, I bet you could sell those brackets to a lot of folks seeing how the front brakes are same as e46 330i (and a lot of e36 and e46 upgrade to 330i brakes as well). The mod on the rear brakes is awesome.

Yes, I will consider a water injection system. The MAF sensor is under the tube between supercharger snd airfilter. I really don't know what it uses

A little photoshoot in one of our showrooms. It was raining outside, so better to do it inside then

baege · 09-13-2015, 04:15 PM

absolutely stunning and impressive build

Beedub · 09-15-2015, 09:11 AM

looks so exotic.....

what a car, this has got to be one of bmws best designs for a long long time, the current direction for them is probably meaning this is going to be the last ///M car ill own tbh, bmw have dropped off the radar for me.

DEG · 09-15-2015, 11:12 AM

Absolutely terrific!

bmwZ · 09-16-2015, 04:10 PM

Thanks guys

Have done Mstache carbon lip test fit today, but got to do some details on it before fitting

bmwZ · 09-26-2015, 04:57 PM

Done some new installs to the Z again

The rear H&R adjustable sway bar... I allreay have mounted the 27mm Z4M front sway bar. Poly bushing to the front and rear sway bars as well.

The rear sway was adjusted to it's firmest setting, making it more oversteered for some drifts

Also got me some new front control arms. They are Z4 M-sport for track use. Stiffer bushings and a little different angles. Don't know how much, but will do a new alignment soon. Then I can see if there are some changes to the stock ones

NeilP · 09-26-2015, 05:08 PM

Excellent work as always!

Which bushings did you go for?

Thank you, they are original Z4. I had polyflex on my previous one, but it was no good outside of the race track. It got a much harsher ride.... So did the standard this time

bmwZ · 10-21-2015, 01:56 PM

Got me one of those clean multi displays for the Z

Very easy install and connected to the obd2 gate.
Will also install some input from the supercharger, then it will show boost as well

Right now it shows rpm, real speed, water temp, 0-60 time, throttle, intake temp, voltage and got a shift light..

Would you please just stop putting more cool stuff on your already gorgeous ride, it's getting dangerously close to the point of Z4 perfection.

bmwZ · 10-23-2015, 12:19 PM

Doing my headlights again, was not satisfied with the looks of the first colour

Steeler · 10-23-2015, 01:20 PM

Yes, my Z have always liked exotic friends

After a lot of masking, the new painted design is finished

Just have to glue them together. What is the overall opinions?

dubsesd · 10-29-2015, 03:20 PM

haha awesome...that was exactly my idea! the housing all black make the projectors look really small. this looks excellent

dubsesd · 10-29-2015, 03:21 PM

another idea i had was making the turn signal lens completely satin. almost like the eyebrow of the new bmw's

dubsesd · 10-29-2015, 03:22 PM
