The wheels came courtesy of MrWilks, they have a real smooth finish. He got them done in Leyland, so not a million miles from Leeds. I am based in Huddersfield myself.Sohailnisar wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2017 8:03 pmThat looks very nice! Did you have them powder coated?
Where did you get your stubby aerial from?
Will try and find the link for the Stubby.

Looks great! Well done for travelling to grab a good one. A68 is a nice way to get to know a car!
If you're looking for wheel ideas and want an alternative to CSLs, I always liked the look of this combo:
They are Apex ARC-8s. Car will ride and handle a bit better on 18s too.

Interlagos Blue, looks sweet on a Coupe IMHO
A Shadow Chrome powder coated set of CSL wheels and the Eventuri, would make your car, very special IMHO.. Welcome to the Forum & Go for it

Welcome and congratulations, that's a lovely looking Z4MCSohailnisar wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2017 6:30 pm
Here's a list of things I would like to do, any advice would be welcome:
1) Wheels - Options are - sell the current wheels to purchase some CSL wheels. Or powdercoat the current wheels - gun metal grey or maybe satin black. What wheels do people have on their Interlagos Blue Z4Ms?
2) Intake - I definitely understand why people go down this route. The noise is a little underwhelming. I think in my budget its either the Eventuri or the Gruppe M. From what I can tell the Gruppe M sounds better but the Eventuri is cheaper.
3) Suspension - I had Bilstein coilovers on my previous car which was an S2000, transformed the feel of the car for the better - also think a little bit of drop would really suit the car
4) Exhaust - If the intake doesn't satisfy my ears, I'm considering an exhaust or maybe an exhaust mod. I've seen some posts about a remote controlled valve that can be fitted to the standard exhaust - gives it a lovely exhaust tone!
That's the big stuff (for now anyway!). I'm also considering getting it detailed - a few swirl marks which are annoying me.
I do like the look of the stubby aerial rather than the standard one - where can I get one of these from?
I can recommend the Gruppe M, transforms the car, noise is incredible and cruises as quietly as before. Eventuri has good feedback as well but I've never heard one myself.
I've just fitted Bilstein B12's, massive improvement over the standard set up, also recommended.
I'm planning on getting Csl's at some point but may have the 224's painted, my favourite finish us shadow chrome, I had it on my e39 m5. I seen cal reps for sale with what looks like shadow chrome and they were called hyper black.
Look forward to more photos!

Your car looks fantastic OP.
I believe you can buy stubbies from BMW, but plenty of people (including me) have used the PSA one as it fits fine and is cheaper!
The one in this link should be fine:-

I do love an MC in Interlagos Blue.NorthernSky wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2017 7:53 pmEvening!
Congratulations on this. Funnily enough, we both have the same old car - S2000 - and I've also picked up a Z4MC which was ALSO located in Edinburgh! Small world! ALSO ALSO ALSO have the CSLs, and YES. Do it. You must.
Photos of mine are on this forum and the gallery one also, though a different blue. Like your gunmetal alloys on this. Let me know if you're in the Berkshire/Bucks area and we can 'compare notes'.

Did you notice the post from flimper/? He has an Interlagos MC and is in Camberley, so just over the Berks border in Surrey.

Here is the link for the genuine stubby that I bought and works well. I am sure you can get cheaper options if you want.
