FS- Z4M Coupe "CSL" inspired track car NOW SOLD
Due to a change in direction fr my future track days I am putting my much loved Z4M Coupe up for sale.
Many of you will know the build process that I went through, but essentially I wanted to create a M Coupe CSL that BMW would be proud of.
The car itself when I bought it was a 55,000 miles car with full BMW and specialist service history, had never been repainted (so 1st paint), and was a very nicely spec'd car for long trips to the ring; Sat Nav, top option stereo with the subwoofers, cup holders etc etc.
The previous two owners were both forum members and the later one is my best friend who owned the car for several years before I bought it off him to start this project.
When I bought the car I was fortunate enough to have the budget ready and waiting to get all of the parts that I wanted for it. It also describes the current spec;
KW Clubsport 2 way - £2,400
XYZ BBK with two piece discs all round fully refurbished - £1,000
JC Racing 4 plate LSD upgrade - £500
New performance friction 11 pads - £550
Vibra Technics engine and gearbox mounts - £410
Apex ARC 8 wheels - £1200
Rogue engineering rear top mounts - £100
Schroth harnesses - £300
H&R adjustable ARB's - £350
powerflex black rear trailing arm bushes - £100
Cobra Suzuka pro seats - £800
MSTACHE 2 front splitter - £250
M3 GTS style rear spoiler in carbon - £350
BCS powervalve rear back boxes - £700
Grouppe M induction kit - £400
Adjustable rear camber arms - £100
steering wheel and gear gaitor recovered in alcantara and M stitching - £350
I also had the bottom end rebuilt at the same time (new crank bearings and oil pump rebuild) - £1000
As you can see, the list is long and expensive! £10,860 in parts alone (some labour on the bottom end rebuild). This does not include the high cost of several trip to get the geometry done to my liking and the time spent fitting all of the parts etc.
The car also comes with it's original Z4M wheels with wet tyres on.
The Apex wheels need new tyres.
I have included below in time order some photos of how the car has progressed. The first photos show the car all finished but prior to me having it wrapped to protect the paintwork.
You will also notice that the calipers have been refurbished in Nissan Gold and the wheels have been done in BMW Sepang Bronze.
Here is a link to some pictures.

Private plate not included.
I've owned it since Oct 2015, and the mileage is now 70,200. Note this is mainly motorway mileage to and from the 'Ring / Spa / Zandvoort etc. Done 15 track days.
£24,995 ONO

Ah man, we were just going nuts about this car in the “spotted” thread! Sounds and looks epic.
Shame you have to sell. Obvious question, since I’m sure someone will ask - would you be willing to split any of the extras and/or do you still have the OEM bits they replaced? I know you probably don’t want to end up trying to sell a half-baked track car, but that’s a great options list.

Well since this video I have I proved the damper settings and added the GTS rear spoiler which has made a huge difference.
I think the car (with me driving) is capable of a 7:35 ‘balls to the wall’.
I’m sure it could go faster with a local driving...
I’ve done 1000 laps of the Ring, but that still isn’t really enough to use every inch confidently.
