My Z4's evolution (Cruise Control)

[Bad_Pritt]

Sorry guys, I'm keeping my M-badge, it just fits the back of the car so well

[original guvnor]

Not sure I'm keen on the number plate surround either. The car isn't powered by BMW M-Power.

Your paintwork looks fabulous though. A real credit to you

The gearknob is a great touch! Love it!

My Alloys and steering wheel isn't powered BMW M-Power either
but they put that on from the factory

congrat. man very cool!
where you've bought exhaust?

me too bought m front bumper, im waiting next month to mount it.. (no have patience )

This is something thats been nagging me for ages and finally iv got around to it.
The standard 2.0lt Z4 brakes perform well BUT for vanity reasons i wanted to change them, especially since fitting the ZM wheel's last Summer.

Before


I found a guy on ebay selling a pair of BMW 3.0lt front callipers with carriers and snapped them up for £70. He assured me they where ready to bolt on and had only done 40k miles, i already knew id rebuild them, but when they arrived and sound dead spiders and cobwebs in them so i guessed maybe they had only been on a car that had done 40K but they must have been on a shelf for 2 years, lol!




So i too them apart, wire brushed them down all over, removed the piston and the seals, washed them in Washing up liquid, left them to dry and then sprayed them with silver Halfords calliper paint and left them to dry over night.



I also found these bad boys on ebay for £100 delivered.




Last night i started removing the drivers side and finished that, and then finished the whole job of this afternoon.





Bosh! Job done, im really chuffed, to me it makes such a big visual difference


Excuse the front bumper damage, some C*@t did that in a car park and drove off, thats my next job to sort.

Next up iv FINALLY gotten around to changing the side lights for LED ones, so glad i did it looks so much better!!



If anyones looking to do the same i bought these, & they turned up next day

Just bough my new shoes
Pair of 265/35/18 FALKEN ZE914 on the rears, fitted by my friends at R-tech in StAlbans (owned by former RipSpeed owners). If you near north London I highly recommend these guys, they price matched backcircles.com plus I got a Espresso and some cake "Winner"


And finally got round to polishing & waxing (half) of the car. It's very satisfying doing it by hand, but if I'm honest I'm looking to buy a electric polisher now, because life's to short to hand polish when owning a Black Roadster

Looking great, love the brake change and you must be stopping better now? i want those discs as soon as mine are spent (trying my best to wear them out!) I like the way the zed still looks good with those Bentley barges up in the air there

Ill be honest, they make no difference. The Standard 2.0lt brakes look stupidly small but are totally up to the job.
If anything iv noticed better braking now since my tires are new. Tires makes loads more difference

Oooooo....



Quad exhaust coming soon......

LOL!
YEAH, its been in the pipe line for AGES tho
Cant wait to get the Quad fitted now!!
Looks STUPID with the double exhaust, and i hate the size of my existing tail pipes, these need to be stepped up too

[stlymch]

How long had you been sitting on the //M rear bumper? Mine had been in the conservatory driving the woman crazy since January!
I wasn't going to fit it until the day of the exhaust but I got too excited and put it on. Woman is happier now, win win!

[Jembo]

Hopefully I get a //M before I do the front bumper... then go rear with quads...
