Katie k's Z4M Coupe little red :)

[Katie_K]

So I have finally got round to doing a wee journal for my new car, I'll keep this thread and update as I go

My previous



Ok here is my Z4M coupe bought back in January to replace my beautiful GT which will be very much missed.

She is standard 1 careful lady owner , a guy who owned it less than a year and me. Bought from BMW Chiswick this is my first dealership car, anyway here she is these are the photos from when I picked her up.




Her spec is ace intact I can't think of anything useful that it's missing,
Satnav
Individual champagne leather
Carbon leather trims
Heated seats
10 speaker professional system

And lots of other stuff that's slightly boring P-)

My kick plates were the first thing that needed sorting for some reason both were dented and scratched, no idea why anyone would need to put their foot anywhere near them.

Before


After




Paul also got me a rouge engineering clutch stop to make life slightly easier


And a rogue engineering stud conversion



Also my maps have been updated with 2014 maps from CCFJ1, awesome stuff

[Katie_K]

Paul and Keith helped me out with some powder coated tips, tidy



Before



After





Slightly more poke, slightly wider these are a small addition with a massive impact to the rear end.


Ohhhhh and my own little touch, by Nevets who just kinda runs with the crazy ideas I give him. Just awesome








And here she is as she currently stands, I will update as time goes on

[avsbmw]

Sweet car, love the colour. about the graphics, your an 80's teen? Spent your whole allowance plugging coins into the standup arcade games? Or just like the look?

The best yet all the umph and instant rush of an e46 M3 but the driving position is better the car is smaller and I like sitting near the floor, it's the best yet so much winning in such a small car. It's perfect and I don't miss my GT nearly as much as I thought I would.

My kick plates are also dented and it also baffled me. Where did you order the replacements and do you have the part #?

Cool graphics btw

Love the decals. Normally I wouldn't approve of putting stickers on a Moupe, but those look great.

[KevinC]

Love that interior. It's a crime that we couldn't order Individual options here in the states, when the car was assembled here. All kinds of flashy stuff was available elsewhere, but all we got was a very minimal variety of interior trim options.

[nekky]

Welcome!

[ZStig]

love the interior color. Time to plastidip the wheels dark

I think what happens is the seat belt metal part gets under the door cause it doesn't or isn't retracted and you slam the door on it - or a coat or some other metal part.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

I thought it was possibly some insane drunk stumble into the car with blunt objects.

Your version makes much more sense.

[ga41]

To complete the exhaust transformation you should have the muffler bodies themselves painted black too. Make them a bit less visible.

Everything else looks good! Well done.

quick Q Katie, did you think about running the BBs's from your Three Mcoupe? i recon that might have looked pretty good, or where the offsets wrong?

[evel karnievel]

Nice, "pacwoman".

I think they would have looked awesome but they went went the z3 unfortunately was toying with the idea of another set of CHs but realised i have owned three sets of them now, maybe I should try something else
