what part would you like to see made for the z4?

solo_the_lad · Post by **solo_the_lad** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 9:00 pm

Looking into developing another part, in addition to the intake tube I am making which is still in the works. I want to make something that could be applicable to all the E85 z4's and not just the N52. Right now I am considering a carbon fiber air scoop for the front behind the grille, since the only one on the market is a jenky metal thing (unless you've got one of those Dinan ones from way back). If I made one, it would be properly done. Let me know if anyone would be interested, or if you have something else in mind. Also if someone could verify the air ducts at the front of both preface/ facelift models are the same, that'd be great too.

Brake cooling ducts like the msport e46 set up?

Can you make new airbag modules

The sound generator?

This indeed would be a neat part, ill look into it. Are you picturing a duct that just throws air towards the caliper like the e46 one does, or do you mean a duct that is designed to be connected directly to the caliper

what do you mean by this? I am honestly not very familiar with the sound generator component

Personally, I quite like the look and performance gain of the RPI Scoop. Not sure if that was the intake piece you were referring to.

A brake cooling duct would be pretty neat. I know pre-LCI E85s can delete their fog light and run a duct, but, to my knowledge, the post-LCI non-M doesn't really have any options at the moment.

Yeah the first one

Some sort of lifetime expansion tank. The plastic ones self grenade every few years… AFAIK Mishimoto did a aluminium one for the e46? So similar concept.

An open air filter unit, with heat shield, that isn't silly money

When I had the 350z they did these for about £85, obviously no performance enhancement but looked good in the engine bay and made a great sound!

like the AFE but less $$ is that what you're getting at
