Some of you will be aware that I bought Martyn`s M coupe last year and so I am going to continue to put any updates on it here . Martyn`s original build post which is a great read is here https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=138219 .
Firstly I bought a Lenovo tablet to replace the one that Martyn needed to keep so that I could use the MaxxECU MDash software that shows all the information you could possibly need on the engine .
I need to do something about the marks on the surround to the left of the tablet .
De-badged and then replaced the side indicators as they were a bit worn .
Next I bought a used cat back Supersprint x pipe and race exhaust just before heading off on the September 2024 NC500 trip arranged by Peter [ref]B21[/ref], Unfortunately they were a bit too loud for long distance driving and so I sold them on to a forum member and replaced with the original set up .
I then replaced the foot pedals with a set from Pedalhaus which are really grippy and I also like the look .
Next up was new wheels and changing over to wheelstuds . I went with a pre order promotion on Apex ML10 RT and imported them direct from USA in Gold Motorsport colour . They look better in the flesh than the colour in the photos .
This is the order I placed showing sizes .

I had to go with 8.5 fronts rather than 9`s as I had to fit a 12mm spacer to clear the front big brake kit .
