3rd pic is pure sex.

Finally I got my M Instrument cluster working. I had to send it to a Zroadster.com member in Germany to get it fixed. They changed the chip/eprom and coded it to the car. Since I do not have the S54 engine, the rev lights from cold to warm do not work. Besides that everything works, included the oiltemp

Looks great...those zroadster guys come out with awesome mods. Love going to that site.

Thanks, yes they have solutions to almost every thing

eye-catching wheels~

ESS is a good choice.

However, I choose ARMA recently, and my Z4 also get powerful delivery as yours!

Thanks

Never heard of ARMA, and they do a kit for the N52

ESS was the only choice for me since they are a Norwegian company, and its easy to get parts and support from them...

Some pics of the Z4 with BBS Racing replica track wheels on. They are 8,5 and 9,5 -18". Tires are Kumho Ecsta MX semislick.

I think it looks a little boring with these wheels on

Pics of my new badges aswell

ZStig · 07-02-2011, 11:29 AM

I have the same wheels in a bigger size. What weight are the ones you have?

bmwZ · 07-02-2011, 11:44 AM

And then some updated pics of the interior.

New mods since last pics is:

-M-Instrument.
-Alcantara steering wheel.
-Alcantara on doorsills.
-Alcantara on footrest(M footrest glued on the alcantara).
-Pearlglanz inner doorhandles
-Extended leather doorcards in walknappa(Had to buy the Z4M seats also to get them

)
-Climatecontrol from facelift( Its not possible to buy just the buttons, so I changed the whole unit).
-Custom "Clubsport" logoes on floormats with grey piping (Should have been in one word, but they made it in two words

)
-Custom Nürburgring sticker in orange between the seats.
-Recaro side covers on performance seats.

I know you have, they are nicer in 19". But 18" is light, so thats more important on track wheels, so yes they are much lighter than Breytons. Do not know the weight actually.

StigJ · 07-02-2011, 01:55 PM

17s is lighter

ZStig · 07-02-2011, 01:59 PM

no 15s are even lighter =

I prefer 18s for a balance of looks/performance

The leather door cards make a huge upgrade on the interior's feel and look. I love mine

beta · 07-02-2011, 03:58 PM

Nice, did you actually buy the extended leather door cards? Looked them up online and they're like 2.2k a piece. Some day I'll start replacing interior bits with extended leather versions.

No, I actually also bought two Z4M seats

Just to get the doorcards..... So they was used, but with only 2000km on them(As new).

gcochard · 07-11-2011, 10:11 AM

How do those seats feel compared to the stock seats?

gferil · 07-11-2011, 04:45 PM

I love watching the progress of your car in this thread. Honestly when you first posted, this thread is what made me serious about looking into Z4's again, and here I am several months later with my own Z4MC! Thanks and looking forward to more of your updates on your beautiful car!

krnnerdboy · 07-11-2011, 08:53 PM

Wow is there an ugly angle on this car?? Nice thorough and classy build !
