Hi all, I'm the new owner of #312 :driving:
I used to own a z3m coupe around 10 years ago and still regret selling it to this day! Always planned on getting another but as you all know, they've tripled in price on average. Over the last couple of years I started contemplating buying a z4m coupe until recently the alpina rs caught my eye.
Anyway, I plan to refurb the alloys in the original colour so if anyone knows the paint code that they ought to be, please let me know.
I took it for alignment earlier as I felt the steering didnt feel precise. Gut feeling was confirmed by the hunter alignment machine as the caster on one side was a touch out Had a have a good look underneath while it was on the ramp. All in good condition other than slight play in one of the front wishbone rear bushes so I was advised to replace them and then return for alignment. With the mot coming up soon I think it makes sense to replace them to avoid getting an advisory or possible failure.
Has anyone fitted wheel spacers? The wheels look a little lost inside the arch to me, I really like the look of the silver lowered one that Number5 had. My suspension is in good condition otherwise I'd be tempted to lower mine.
So far I've removed the red alpina lettering from the front spoiler. Were they silver from factory or was it an option?
Thanks
