BMW Z4 M Brake Cooling Kit

BradZ4MC · 11-11-2019, 08:20 PM

I thought I was going to have to custom make this this winter. Brake cooling was first on my list after this track season. Fought brake fade for three days this past weekend. Found some other issues that were part of the problem. I'm sold. Will PM you for details.

Regretfully I have to adjust the shipping price, apparently the delivery option I have been using doesn't apply to boxes only "letters" up to 2 kg. The package sent to F360C was returned to me so the money paid was wasted, from now on I will only send with the up to 3 kg which includes boxes as well. The new shipping price is 48$. According to the shipping company I've been lucky more packages haven't been returned. Or rather lucky buyers who got the lower shipping price.

Sorry to hear that Andre, I'll cover the extra since it was not your fault.

Confounded postal people!

^^^ likely cost them far more to return to sender than to complete the delivery and invoice the additional monies. Postal services suck no matter what country you are in.

I've sent 10+ kits using the same shipping, I know a few of them have exceeded 2 kg but I was told they will be delivered no matter what but with an extra fee. The woman at the postal service center said that it is highly unusal a package is returned. I'll contact the support and try to clear things up.

Printer is standing idle right now if anyone wants a kit printed asap.

Westersund · 01-07-2020, 10:13 AM

I have 2 kits ready to be shipped right away.

Westersund · 01-28-2020, 03:24 AM

I have backing plates fitting BMW Z4 now as well (1 hole needs a slight modification), I can make something for the front bumper if anyone is interested.

Sliktop · 02-23-2020, 07:01 PM

I still haven't gotten around to installing mine... been too preoccupied with a few other things. Hopefully will get this done soon!

Track season is just around the corner!

I can confirm that on the 2007 Z4MC that I own the flaps were factory installed as they are still on my car. They should be there from the factory or someone had removed them after delivery.

This is just a thought but could you make a the drivers side front bumper duct with a second smaller 2" hole so I could hook a fresh air line to go directly to my CSL intake?

been there, done that, there isnt enough room there to fit a pipe back into where the intake runs.

Westersund · 04-08-2020, 03:27 AM

Sent out a kit to Frank a couple of days ago, made a second kit so I can ship out the same day if someone want to purchase.

Westersund · 04-11-2020, 03:50 AM

Would there be any interest in a rear brake cooling kit? Or is there some other part you miss on the Z4 M?

I would be interested in this... I was actually just looking at this last night after I finished the install of your front brake cooling ducts. I would imagine the rears would only need a 2 inch line since they dont seem to get as hot as the fronts.

The other part I was looking at 3D printing is some sort of side roundel replacement that could be used as a duct to draw hot air out of the engine bay. I know a guy made a one off set of these back in the day. This could be a really cool part and applies to all Z4's... not specific to M's or none M's.
