Rear 19X10.0 et 25 w/ 275/30/19

This set-up was everything I was looking for. I picked up the wheel tire package from www.europeanautosource.com . The finish, and fitment was perfect.
Is this pic before or after the suspension mods? The stance looks awesome!!

I love the TE37s! What are the correct offsets for the Z4M without having the roll or pull the fenders?

Car looks awesome, totally bad ass!

I highly recommend the KWV3’s. I sold my set awhile ago, but I believe there is a used set for sale in the classified section of this post right now.
I am currently running the KW Club Sports. The performance is better, but the ride comfort is not as good.

Thanks, I like the stance in that shot too.

I installed the H&R springs and the CSL's the same day. I was in a mad rush to get it done berfore I brought the M to the local monthly car meet.

In that photo the M is useing factory struts with H&R springs. I should have switched mods two and three. Even though they the took place on the same day, It would have made more sense in this journal.

Didn't think #18 would get so much attention.

You guys will probably be disappointed once you find out what it is. It is more of a practical mod that really compliments and assists the other mods.

No DB reading on the exhaust, but I would be willing to get that info if I can find a place to do it.

Thanks for the compliment.

It will depend on the suspension set up you run.

With the H&R springs I ran the following with very minor rub on the plastic liner to the rear fenders:

Front 19X8.5 et 40 w/ 245/35/19 tires
Rear 19x10 et 25 w/ 275/30/19 tires

The rubbing in the rear would only happen when the suspension was under full compression in tight turns at high speed.

The front offsets I am running now are good as long as you have camber plates, and use at least -2.5 degrees. Without the more aggressive camber adjustment these fronts will rub. With the camber adjustment, there is no rubbing at all.

Current front set-up: 19x8.5 et 30 w/ 245/35/19 tires.

Good guess, but not it. I will keep updating the mods, so the cat will be out of the bag soon.

Love the journal, very nice work! Just got my Z4M coupe in IL blue about a month ago and now have something to aspire too.

Wanted to thank you for posting the pics of the rpi exhaust...had been searching for a pic. The tips look bad ass, and I can't believe how much lighter they are.

my guess for #18, not sure if it's is technically a mod but is it the cdv delete?

Sorry about waking the baby. I figured I had to put that warning in there. As you may have guessed, I am speaking from experience. When I removed the original knob, I cracked myself right in the chin.

Wow, that is a huge compliment; I really appreciate it.

As some sort of hobby, I am aspiring to become better at photography. I am a long way from where I would like to be, but I am learning as I go. Just out of curiosity, which photo were you using?

Congrats on the coupe!
It has been the best car I have owned.

The RPI tips are insane. I really like the look too.

#18 is way too practical a mod, you guys are going to be dissapointed. The CDV was a good guess though.
