As for the roof... I really can't post the link for a third time! Post #35...

lol my bad dude just looked at the pictures and had to ask haha. if i made a z4m csl i would have gone the same route as you but i would have got oem csl seats.

future call for a widebody and wing

GTR!!!

That's cool...

The price of the OEM CSL seats was a little prohibitive, especially as they are just modified Recaro Pole Positions anyway. The seats in my car will be retrimmed in the summer in the same Black Nappa as the standard seats... or Alcantara (still deciding!).

And I would oh-so love to do the Z4M Motosport kit.....

I remember you mentioning them previously. Did you ever verify that the CSL seats would fit? E46 seats place you up higher than Z4 seats, and you'd be wearing a helmet at times.

sixspeed · 01-25-2008, 09:52 PM

I did have a look around a CSL at the 'Ring. A friend has got one recently, and I was going to measure up the mounting points on the floorpan to see if they match the ones on the Z4...

I think width-wise you'd be ok. Height I don't know....

One day I'll have a measure up from a CSL and see how they would fit, although I've done the aftermarket route now, so I doubt I'll change my setup though.

epbrown · 01-26-2008, 02:43 AM

I'm pretty sure they would fit and match the mounting points - BlackSapphireZ successfully put an E46 sports seat in his Z4 on a lark. Looked weird, but it fit.

Incredible pics!!!

Good Lord. Are these post processed or raw.

Rather depressingly (for us mere photography mortals), straight out of the camera...

Amazing photos

Vlad · 01-29-2008, 12:01 AM

Magnificent pictures. I am currently debating on what sports coupe to get for myself next, these pictures just may have made the decision much easier.

BimmerZealot · 01-29-2008, 12:32 AM

Love Alpine White, not a fan of the blur style photography but amazing car

S65B40 · 01-29-2008, 03:13 AM

That is sex on wheels. Who makes the CF roof for the M coupe?

Dammmittt · 01-29-2008, 09:46 AM

TC Kline and one other company...not sure who that is tho

+1..after cotemplating the 335 & 135, I believe I have found the perfect car for me. Thanks to these pics, I now will be hunting for an alpine white Z4M. Beautiful car.

Don't get me wrong, the wife has a 335 Coupe, it's a blast to drive. I do want a performance 2-seater though. This alpine white with the CSL 19" wheels looks absolutely to die for.

Are the wheels hypercoated?

sixspeed · 01-29-2008, 02:51 PM

I had them refinished in a shadow-chrome (like the E39 M5 wheels, but slightly darker).

AtoB · 01-29-2008, 09:20 PM

absolutely fantastic work!... makes me want a coupe!

Speaking of which, funny thing - I posted a link to this thread on another (non-BMW) forum, one of the posters thinks he's seen your car around Boston.
