Did you have to do any mods for the M wheels to fit?. Didn't think they were compatible on the coupe.
My favourite wheel.

Pretty easy, just twist and pull they just came off without any resistance really. Took me all of 5 mins to install.

Nope no mods, tyres are standard size too. Only real difference is the offset on the rear :) car is on m sport suspension.

Very nice indeed! If you're looking for a recommendation on a PDR guy for the parking dings you mentioned - I had Ryan from fixadent out yesterday, great work and very honest bloke.

I find that I'm still lacking some lows in my z4c. Any recommendations for an easy plug and play active sub ? No need for anything extreme but something with a bit of unph, up to £200 say ? My unit has sub inputs so i should be alright.

I looked into this a while back for the e46. Never pursed it in the end as the supplier I was going with was out of stock and then it just fizzled out.

I didn't want something that took up the whole boot so was going to opt for one of Pioneer's tiny subs, which can be squeezed under the bottom of the seat. In the Zed this would be more than enough as it's a small space anyway.

This is what I was going to get TS-WX120A however they've got a few other models now too TS-WX210A. Maybe worth checking out? :)

Anyway, she had a good clean today! shiny!

Looking good!

I'm about to order 4 x Goodyear AS3s for my 224 alloys too. They currently have the original 11 year old tyres on and they're M profiles. Am planning on changing to non M profiles.

Can I ask what profiles you went for? 35 and 40 (non M) or 40 and 45 (M profiles)?

Also do you have any closeup pics? I'm interested on seeing the rim protection on the tyres as I've read they're not as protective as AS2s were

Cheers

Dan
