You could always purchase the Official BMW First Aid Kit...

The OE box is already optimized for that area under the seat, so your solution won't make any more usable space unless you want the box to protrude beyond the bottom front of the seat.

Quite possibly but no harm in giving it a go, particularly given that there are some crafty folks here. And after all, and not pointing any elbows at the guy who thought it was brilliant to put the power top motor in a drain channel, sometimes a second set of eyes can see a better solution.

Based on recommendations from others here, I picked up the Tunai Firefly bluetooth adapter. Really nice piece, takes up minimal space and no loss in volume coming from aux. Best feature is that once hardwired, it's auto-on and will connect to your phone automatically.

wdb · 03-26-2023, 03:18 PM

Love my Tunai Fireflies (I have several). Caveats: I don't try to use my phone with the car audio, and I'm not what you'd call an audiophile. But they're small and reliable and get the job done to my satisfaction.

Have since added a new set of Spyder headlights with halos, carbon fiber side mirror covers, and a BMW sport antenna.

I have uploaded my latest Severn tune, and what a difference does it make

you will like it, for me the most noticeable change is the willing to chase the redline, whereas before the car felt flat after 7500. Mid range is also improved with a meatier delivery

Same here just got the OEM first aid kit box. I was only able to fit a small box of bandaids and a bottle of excedrin.

Bought factory rear Sport suspension setup for my Zed. Still waiting for the front struts to arrive.

MVRS · 04-01-2023, 08:50 AM

Picked up a pair black extended leather visors for veryyy nice price

Also, just finished the led light mod for the trunk. I used a 5mm cob led strip with a 12v dimmer/effect controller to adjust brightness if needed.

Ranchroundel · 04-01-2023, 07:56 PM

Can I ask where you got these? I would like t add them to my z4mr. Thanks in advance for the response.

86Zed · 04-17-2023, 02:36 PM

Been collecting pieces forever on the new and secondhand market to get this together. Driver seat finally in, passenger next after I dissect an occupancy mat from an eBay seat.

Fender washers added and seats reposition umpteenth times since this photo... never get it right on the first try.

bagekko · 04-28-2023, 10:39 PM

Bought new hood shocks and a new battery, didn't think the autozone battery would be $250, got an interstate from Costco for $180 instead.

That's gonna feel nice! Love the house mouse handling on these cars with fresh suspension. Also noticed you have a 94 Blade. I got a 95 Blade with the Urban Tiger color scheme but it's pretty scruffy from previously being tracked so I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with it. Sure makes any car I've ever driven feel slow.

Neat solution! Can't decide if I want another Grom or bluebus, having steering wheel controls is nice, but this might hold me over a while.

Forgot to update but even the OEM first aid kit doesn’t fit in the box lmao.

miscbrah · 05-04-2023, 06:30 PM

Because of 3002 tii above I ordered the tunai firefly, worth a shot!

Also purchased:
Zhp shift knob
Led interior light kit
Spark plugs, new afe dry filter, oem fluids (tranny, diff, coolant, brake, engine oil)
Tires - went for the Michelin pilot sport all season 4

Hopefully that’s it for a while

wdb · 05-05-2023, 05:07 AM

I like the Tunai Firefly so much I got a couple more of them for other vehicles.

3002 tii · 05-05-2023, 09:26 AM

New shoes, love my style 32’s but they unfortunately don’t clear the 996 Brembos I plan to put on, so needed something with better spoke clearance. Preference was to stick with OEM staggered setup (225/255) with slightly aggressive offsets.

F: 19x8.5 et27
R: 19x9.0 et29 + 15mm spacer

Currently on stock suspension / alignment but I plan to pull the pins and add some washers up front.
