Hello there! I am new member although I have used a lot of information from here already, THANK YOU!

My journey began about two months ago when a friend bought a new Tesla and needed to free up garage space. He gave me a price on a one owner mint condition 2005 Z4 3.0i sport 6 speed I could not resist so I bought it as a push gift/weekend toy for my 9 month pregnant wife at the time. I drove the car for a week and absolutely fell in love with it. Up to that point I was strictly a JDM guy and I still own my Nissan 350z. I started to think if the regular Z4 is this great how great is the M? I convinced the wife that if I sold both the Z4 and the 350z I could get a Z4M. So I started looking. Luck would have it I found a mint condition Z4M local to me with full service history, 55k on the dial and the dealer was willing to give me twice what I paid for the the Z4 on trade in so here I am today with my new to me Z4M SBM Black Napa and carbon dash. In two weeks of ownership I've already swapped the wheels out, performed a valve clearance readjustment, flushed all Fluids with Motul fluids, installed rouge engineering trans mounts and installed and ZHP shorty knob. Pictures of the journey are posted for your viewing pleasure. Can't wait to see what the future holds!

Regrettably I spent money on them and installation on the Z4 and then I traded it in toward the M.

The M will be getting Fortune 500s with swift springs.

Damn, you do need some help. The only thing that you can do now with an F10 M5 is to mod it.

Although that is known to actually make your particular affliction worse. So whatever you do please don't reach out to Pure Turbos.

Dope ride you got there and congratulations.

And like that, you went from 350Z and presumably something Japanese for the wifey to two ///M cars! The bug has bitten, you are doomed! 'Grats on the cars.

Are those 219M on your Z4M? Really digging the look!

Love the 513M on the Z. What tire sizes/brand were you running ? Any clearance issues ?

On stock suspension I was running the OE spec
F80 M3/M4 tires and it rubbed a little in the front. Once I lowered it I had to step down a size all the way around which more closely matched the factory Z4 diameter as well.

It was a non M Z4. You would have to use 10mm spacers in the rear on a Z4M to clear the suspension. This was before I stepped down the tire sizes and lowered it.
