What did you buy your Z4 this week?

Vanne · 01-21-2014, 09:49 AM

Awesome bumper!!

Z@T · 01-21-2014, 10:20 AM

Last week:
Got 10 mm Spacers for the front wheels and replaced the 15 mm in the rear with 12 mm.
Fits perfect and flush look.

Bought new headlights yesterday.
Black with clear stripes.

Next:
New A/C compressor.

StickMon · 01-21-2014, 03:00 PM

An alternator rebuild!
And I thought it was going to be an uneventful trip into work today.

Arsonism · 01-21-2014, 03:26 PM

aFe Intake (Oiled 5.5" Conical)
and
LED Kit.

Last week bought the ECS Black Grilles (didn't want to deal with painting). I've been busy.

StickMon · 01-24-2014, 01:27 PM

Full set of belt tensioners and idlers.
Dimple magnetic oil and diff drain plugs.

Is it a lot of fog in Canada?

Where'd you find the RPI's? Used / new?

I'd like to see that done. Funny that nobody seems to have tried it.

In my part of Canada, I think it's one of THE foggiest spots on the planet. Check out this link and scroll to the end of the section on climate.

I should probably replace the fog lights with an active radar system!

E85BMW · 01-27-2014, 04:19 PM

New tires

Aries326 · 01-28-2014, 12:57 AM

Just bought everything I need to have my M bumper and aero skirts installed. :-)

Wow, didn't know. Fog lights come in handy with that climate. I thought it was like a lot of "gear heads" here in Sweden who use the fog lights all the time even if it's like never foggy here! I hate it!

Not cheap, but they fit perfectly and work with no problems. I got the amber 7507 for my rear turn signals, and love them. Maybe brake lights (1156?) next?
Be sure to check your bulb sizes - some of the ones they list (for my car) are incorrect, and trying to return these to Canada is a pain.

If only I hadn't just this week ordered 2 Silver Visions for $17.50 each.

msh441 · 02-15-2014, 09:12 AM

Swapped UUC urethane mounts for Rogue neoprene rubber. Added eBay clutch pedal bump stop and adjusted just right.

Overall, UUC short shifter + RE trans mounts + CDV delete + bump stop = really, really nice mod combo!

Exist · 02-15-2014, 01:31 PM

Finally bought a stubby!

newbizie · 02-15-2014, 01:46 PM

New belts new tensioners water pump pulley and idler pulley, i have a crazy random squeal/chirp im trying diagnose

drbvac · 02-15-2014, 02:21 PM

Painted a lot of the black plastic parts under the hood with metallic black flake paint - spice it up a bit - waiting on the new design for the air intake for the ESS 445 to come in next month.

eHelmholtz · 02-19-2014, 08:31 PM

I recently got a set of Michelin Pilot Supersport - what a difference! I also noticed that the brake rotors and pads were becoming worn so I just ordered a set of Callahan's (drilled & slotted) from eBay. Does anyone have experience with them?
