New here... from The Netherlands

Post by DannyNed212 » Wed Dec 20, 2017 6:04 pm

Hello everybody,

My name is Danny from the Netherlands and I'm the proud owner off a BMW E89 Z4 35is.
I bought this two weeks ago and I love it!
Before the Z4 I had a E92 M3, wonderfull car also... damn quick.. but I missed the drive with the open roof!

I do some mods on my car, started with the performance grill, stubby antenna and deleted the Z4 logo.
Next on the list is painting the rollbars, LCI sidemarkers and lower grill in color off the car.
And also paint the brake calipers (thinking grey/black)

Lets show some pictures :)

Very, very nice :thumbsup: What's the hole in the bonnet for, air cooler? Not sure I've seen that on an E89 before.
