That's absolutely stunning!! Love what you've done with it!

Is the scorpion exhaust any good? Would love to hear what it sounds like.

Thank Shaun, I can confirm it was your car that got me looking for Le Mans rims!

Thanks!
I need to run a few more miles before I can really pass judgment on the Scorpion. There is definitely more of a rumble at idle that was lacking in the OEM system, but I haven't gone for a particularly high speed drive yet since having it fitted. First impression is that it's not very loud inside the car, which could be considered both good and bad! I had the BMW performance back box fitted on a previous 330i with the same N52 engine and that sounded awesome. This seems a bit more muted so far.

That's nice to know and I'm very pleased you are happy with them :D

I think they work really well on the Montego Blue, I used to have one in that colour, and I love it.

The Z4C Montego Blue and Sepang Bronze are really the nicest colors. A pity that in France we have so few colors on the secod-hand market...
My choice was between black or black... for my Z4C... :driving:
I'd like to find a Sepang Bronze in my area at an affordable price.... :tumbleweed: ;)

:!: What are the dimensions of your Le Mans wheels and tyres ?
Can you tell me the name of the manufacturer ? I don't know if we can find these wheels here in France... :roll:
A pity since I'm only 80kms from Le Mans !! :D

These are made by Team Dynamics - part of Rimstock, one of the biggest wheel manufacturers in the UK. The size of the rims is 8.5x18, ET35. Tyres are standard Z4 staggered sizes.

Mine are 19'', according to various websites they are not compatible, they were on the car when I bought it and the previous owner said that he specified the offset with the manufacturer to get them to fit perfectly, and I can confirm they do.

So do you think I can order the same wheels in 19" for my Z4 e86?

:D the 3.0si is a nice engine, and with the M options inside the car, it's not so different from a Z4 M... For half the price here in France. :evil:
