What did you buy your Z4 this week?

bosstones · 01-19-2023, 07:52 PM

A new windshield seal!

I'm still on the original (2007 MY/2006 build date) and it's cracked thru in a several place but isn't yet crumbling. It's had a good run for 15-ish years.

Rouge engineering Hybrid FCAB, New Performance Gearing custom ramping 1.5 way LSD 3.73 ratio, New Subframe and diff bushings, Mason Clutch Pedal w/ Bronze bushings, Fresh set of Kumho Ecsta730 255 / 265 tires for 23 season Autox.

Turner Motorsports Carbon Airbox Kit. Couldn't be more excited

maupineda · 01-26-2023, 07:50 AM

I wish I had posted all the things that have bought. The past two years have been intense 😬

cbpip · 02-03-2023, 05:18 PM

2 New sets of rubber for the upcoming AutoX season.
Kumho Ecsta730, ran these this past year when they first came out, so far so good inexpensive tire with good grip outside tread wears to an almost soft slick compound.

AK72 · 02-04-2023, 09:48 AM

custom made rear brake lines 27.5" long with banjo fitting

Girodisc titanium shims for my Brembo BBK

maupineda · 02-04-2023, 11:06 AM

Looking forward to your review!!

wyshyvanuk · 02-05-2023, 05:27 PM

Well, OK, it's not much, but it's cute. 17mm plastic-coated socket for lug nuts.

cbpip · 02-10-2023, 03:05 PM

New to the E86C, set of BBS RG-R for the coming AutoX season with reduced weight.

Golfboy · 02-10-2023, 03:58 PM

I bought a set of four gold Montegi Racing wheels for my coupe and also a Racing Dynamics shock tower brace. Looking forward to installing them next week.

The RGRs, and EC7Rs! Agree with these wheel choices! Own both and great minds think alike!

The intent is to reduce heat transfer from the friction surfaces into the brake fluid. I can't tell you if they really work but for $100+ I sure hope so.

Just bought this half cover. The Z4 is laid up for the winter but now be spending some time in the summer outdoors with the garage housing other toys. Pics are from the EBay ad as I don’t want to take mine out of the case.

cbpip · 02-14-2023, 08:48 PM

New valve cover and seals. Note to self: NEVER use a silicone lube on spark plugs thinking it will make the coil pack easier to remove, NOT . It makes them almost impossible to remove due to suction on plug won't break free.

cbpip · 02-23-2023, 08:00 AM

Skyer Carbon engine covers, Zimmerman rotors and the BBS RG-R W/ KUMHO ECSTA730 installed

3002 tii · 03-23-2023, 08:11 PM

Finally installed the OEM first aid kit box. Man this thing is smaller than what I thought. I was planning on throwing the user manual in there but it’s not even close. Maybe I’ll throw in my portable jump starters…. assuming it fits

CJW2OO4 · 03-23-2023, 08:58 PM

Wonder if 3d printing a larger first aid box could be an option?
