I read that very few were ordered in A43 green metallic. Sold mine last year to buy a low mileage Z4MR. The green always looked fantastic in the sunshine.

Genuine style 32’s (gen 2 version, concave instead of deep dish). Running staggered in this pic but also have 2 rears so I can run square.
While swapping things out I went with the shorter oe valve stems |

Hydraulic fluid for the convertible top. It may not SOUND exciting, but being able to operate the top again under it's own power as opposed to my arm power is a treat. Luckily the motor is strong, just needed more fluid. Next on my list is either:
A) Properly fix the leak. B) Ghetto fix the leak(Kind of already did that) and trade it in on an E89 which I've been considering for a while now. It's just hard for me to get rid of a super nice paid off car just to get a newer one and car payments again. We'll see. |

I use those but I stick them up on the dash to the right of the heater controls. (I have also successfully removed one from brushed aluminum trim.) They're very strong assemblies and magnets -- I hang an iPad Mini from them with no problem.

Quick update - I got the springs, struts, shocks and supporting bits installed over the holiday break. After about 500 miles on the new suspension, I have to say that this car is soooooo much fun to drive. Feels like it's on rails when cornering. I set the Konis to there softest setting, since the Z is now my daily driver. Combined with the new Suplex OEM springs, the ride is not harsh - just tight. It's wonderful.

Complete cooling system overhaul (all 7 hoses excluding the heater hoses, reservoir tank, radiator, thermostat, waterpump, temperature/level sensors, and fresh coolant) Was really overdue! 13 years old and 145k miles (bet the cooling capabilities of the old radiator unit was subpar due to how dirty and clogged the cooling fins are) Minor suspension overhaul Replaced my front lower control arms with new OEM ZHPs also overdue. (One of the balljoints was completely shot, lots of freeplay) and installed Ground Control School Coilovers Also tryed out the weighted anatomic M shift knob (right). Love it more than the ZHP shift knob (left) its pictured next to!

See I think they look so much better in person, and the grille makes sense. I'm a huge fan of the G07, the car is so damn comfy! Congrats, that's a very nice fleet you got

Replaced the two trunk shocks. Tip: if you remove one of the old shocks, the trunk lid will come crashing down. Luckily, my head was in position to intercept the lid.

Btw do your local cops give you trouble with the headlight film? I wanted to do the same a while back but it’s hard enough to get away with front tints... Quote:
https://www.bimmerworld.com/BMW-Inte...117896884.html For what it’s worth I cut my forehead when it made contact with the trunk latch. With my oe hardtop, I had to install the trunk “stoppers” to prevent the trunk from making contact with rear glass. Keep forgetting the trunk now sits upright in the open position =( Last edited by 3002 tii; 03-01-2020 at 11:21 AM.. |

Dropped off the Z4 M at Performance Technic for rod bearings, tires, VAC oil pump upgrade kit, and new engine mounts.

AFE air filter. It was time for a new one so figured I would give it a try.
