AWESOME!! very cool, love the pedals too. Car is looking great Phil

SaltyNC · 03-13-2016, 08:10 AM

Phil,

What kind of paint did you use for the steering wheel bits? Some have painted them satin, some with rubberized paint, and some have them dipped. I'm still undecided on what to use, but it is on my short list. Probably like yours, the BMW rubberized coating has been scratched/worn down in a few places.

I have those strut-tower caps. They clean up the engine bay and look nice. Any plans for the oil filter aluminum cap? Thinking of polishing mine and clear-coating it.

Is the top piece in the trunk of the coupe--don't recognize it, but I have a roadster.

Hi Salty.

Don't know actually, still at the paintshop but I said I wanted it to look like the bottom part so it will be painted matte black

Hm, haven't thought about the oil filter cap but many

Please excuse the iPhone quality but just picked the car up.

DAMN so clean and new paint on front bumper and side skirts

SaltyNC · 03-16-2016, 12:38 PM

Looks fantastic -- like it just rolled off the line in Spartanburg, SC.

And no more steering wheel rash. Did they happen to mention anything about the durability of the steering wheel painted bits? I keep procrastinating on that project.

Thank you Salty

Yeah it looks really good now!

They have 2 years warranty on all their paint job and the paint it matte black and I like it a lot

Go ahead and either buy new parts or paint the ones you have

Ergalio · 03-16-2016, 01:33 PM

Yes det har jag!! Kommer bilder snart! M coupé

Dirty Tool · 03-16-2016, 05:17 PM

Looks stunning!

Really like the X3 button mod. Did you just pull the old rubber ones off?

Yes, they just pull out. Used my fingers only

Westersund · 03-17-2016, 02:24 AM

Nice progress Filip! However I think you should keep the pictures a bit smaller, they are huge and a lot of scrolling is needed. :/

Westersund · 03-17-2016, 05:29 PM

Delivery from US & A

Thank you Mario!

Quality pieces!

Will look like this when finished

Philly_sweden · 03-30-2016, 01:25 AM

Don't know if Im gonna put on the SS Race or not. I had it on my previous Z4 M and all I remember was angry neighbors and a lot of highway drone.

What do you think?

Im not very happy with the stock sound either but SS Race might be to much?

Philly_sweden · 04-03-2016, 09:32 AM

Ok, new update!

Yesterday we changed oil, springs and exhaust.

Pictures

Last pictures stock

Before/After

Next thing to do is a wheel alignment and new break pads

XMetal · 04-03-2016, 02:20 PM

So, it's not too loud anymore???

SS Race was a bit too loud for me as well and the tips stick out a bit further than I would have liked. But overall, the most important factor is that if you like it is all that matters

PLCZ4MC · 04-03-2016, 02:59 PM

I really like the Super sprint Race mufflers with the Super Sprint X pipe too. DKF hangers to hold mufflers for better adjustment and reduces inside drome. I love it.
