Eloy if you think this is an 9 out of 10 in difficulty then what would you rate coilovers or brakes?

Well, coilovers and brakes......there is only one way it can go in.

You're right though. It takes a little patience to look at the entire thing and see how it fits in there. It WILL fit though guys.

BTW, version 2 is complete and in stock. I just got them back from the powdercoaters. The scoops are now tig welded and powder coated.

For a girl=10

For a man with some common sense and average mechanical knowledge=2

Its all fun and games. You know, us car guys, sometimes jokes can come out the wrong way. The install really isnt that hard. Also, we are always here to help you through the install should you get stuck.

I doubt that. It was a friendly joke. We have some female customers that would put many guys to shame as far as working on their own cars. I've dealt with RR before and I know it was just a friendly joke.

Russ said that...RPI thought it was funny...and so did I.

I guess you just need to remember is that it's a car forum and the majority of the users are men...so a sexist joke might happen now and again...If you want to retaliate and show you have a sense of humor that's one thing...if you want to let it bother you...I guess you'll be doing some of this

Even so your comment does not make any sense.

Does anyone know if the RPI scoop is exactly the same for both the Z4M and the face-lifted regular Z4? Or are they 2 different fitments?

Thanks!

Dammmittt · 05-22-2008, 10:25 PM

There's another thread for the non-M Z4s.

Props to Eloy for installing my scoop/filter today...I definitely feel the car pull harder in 4th gear on the fwy. Thanks Eloy for making such a great product! Next up...software

Thanks for coming by. I am sorry that you couldnt install the scoop yourself and had to drive here. It is kind of confusing if you have never installed it before. As you saw though, installation only takes minutes.

laidback · 06-02-2008, 01:16 PM

I will be at RPI today (@ lunch time ... if you guys are free you can meet me there and check out the stock Z4MC

mishaalt · 06-17-2008, 02:54 PM

I have called RPI and talked to them regarding the skid plates, they told me that they were machined for the Z4 M Coupe.

Will they fit on a 2007 Z4 M Roadster, I have called BMW parts and they have been unable to tell me if the coupe and Roadster use the same front bumpers.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

They are different part numbers on RealOEM
Roadster
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...60&hg=51&fg=15

Coupe
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...60&hg=51&fg=15

But I don't see how they are any different (or why the would be). It should fit the roadster.
