Thank you :) No I'm not. The DCT has sooo many settings wich makes it really fun :) One thing I HAAAAATE though are the push/pull shift with the downshift :(
I might buy the facelift but they are expensive as hell.

If so: H&R or Eibach? And why?

I have adaptive suspension. Any problems?
Eibach, just a subtle 10mm drop upfront makes a a good difference.

H&R are way to low IMO and makes the arch overlap the wheel which always looks meh imo.
Thanks for your input :)
Hi mate,

Do you have a part number for these pedals? Just been in to my local BMW dealership who could not find anything like them :(

Thanks!

My plans so far:

- Remove the Z4-badge
- Golf tee mod
- Paint calipers silver
- Repaint the front bumper
- Perhaps Wagner IC

First and last wash of this short season. It was nice to wash it so I could see what I need to do with it. :driving:

Thanks Tom :)
So much cleaner IMO.

I haven't decided if I should debadge the fenders yet.

What do you think?

Im not keen on the Sdrive logo but think the 35IS badge looks nice! Subtle identifier. Sits nicely under the BMW roundel.

How do you rate those tyres? They seem to have a decent rim protector, which a lot of mid-range tyres don't seem to have..

I have only driven the car 150 miles but they seem to do a good job, even in high speeds :)

Can we ask what the price difference is between your 'mint' Z4MC and the 35i...? If both were in the UK I'd suggest your MC would be the more expensive car.
