I have to say that i love the sound now!!
What else.. Well i did just returned on the carage, i did change bright led bulbs to licenseplate, and footroom. Leds what i did by didn't fit the main cabin light, have to think someting else with it.
The car has now runflat tyres, witch are prettu much useless here in finland, because of the condition of the roads.. So next summer is coming new rims and tyres on 18 or 19" Have been thinked between 108, CSL or BBS CH..
Well that was it. Sorry the possible grammar-errors, eng is not my mothertonque
But please comment, give feedback and give advices.
BTW, should the light in the small compairment between chairs to been turned on all of the time.. Did notice that when i was chaing bulbs, that the lamp didn't go off when i closed the lid. Or will it turn of when the car goes sleeping?

Re: My Z4 3.0iA 2003 -wheel dilemma!-
Hey folks
I have been browsing different wheels now approx two weeks. For firist i thinked an 108, CSL, or bbs CH, then even bbs-lm-r (reps) but then i founded second hand Breyton inspiration 19x9 all round and i pshopped those on my zed.. I kinda like the desing, but am i complitly blind?
So here is the photoshop, please tell you opinion..

Personal opinion - stick some 108s on it...or CSLs if you have the cash. There's a chap on here who will provide you with lovely re-furbed 108s, custom painted if you like, for about £500 plus the postage to Finland. I'll find his thread and edit this in a sec.

Hello again
(sorry that i'm posting constiniosly to this thread but i just like to keep diary.. )
Today i installed the cruisecontroll to Z And took some pictures, here you go
What you need (+ the pre-facelift Z4)
I found usefull to mask the cutting lines, so the cutting was realy easy
Off to cutting!
->
Then some more accurate "sanding"
The moment of truth..!
Not perfect, mut i can live with that..
And, at last..!
didn't test that does it really works, well see that tomorrow..
Took me a 45min with taking photos
Edit. It works!! this maybe the easiest retrofitting that is possible. plug n play
