Hi all, I'm Andrea, from Italy!

7 years ago I bought my spectacular BMW Z4 2.5i 2003 and it was love at first sight!

Now it's time to say goodbye to my zed because I'm buying ............... another BMW Z4 3.0si coupé :D :D :D :D

The list of modifies I made on my Z4 is very long:
M Front bumper
M Rear bumper with modify at rear lights
M hood
4 ways exhaust
M seats (home made with OEM replacements parts)
OEM Navigation system (with adapting X3 wiring)
Sound generator OEM
Carbon look dash interior
M steering wheel
Electric seats guide
Cruise control
VMR VB3 wheels 18"
Front light with white indicator

I attached some pictures of my actual zed
Hope you like it

Benvenuto! Good choice the 3.0si is a great motor. Some tasteful mods you have planned too. I'm hooked on z4s as well and also on my second one :D

Si, benvenuto Andrea. :thumbsup:

And you put photos in your first post - that's just what we like! Meraviglioso.

Your seats look fantastic, it's just a shame they have manual adjustment. :( But I suppose you could put them onto an electric sub-frame (all Coupes in the UK came with electric adjustment, although standard specification does vary a bit from one country to another).

And your wheels just look so right as well!

Anyway welcome to the exclusive Coupe club - I'm also on my second! I imagine you will find the 3.0Si pretty exciting after a 2.5i - I'm looking forward to the photos of your next one (either before or after you get into the modifications)!

Welcome to the forum. Why not go for an ///M Coupe, you clearly enjoy the look?

Hi guys!!

Here I am with some quicky picture of my ex Z4 roadster and my current coupé.
It's a incredible car!! The engine makes me so happy :evil: :rofl:

I have already decided to do some little works on the car, I'm sure that I'll find all the informations from you!

Lovely looking Coupe Andrea :thumbsup: - you've definitely made the right choice (but I may be slightly biased). :lol:

The 3 litre N52 engine does keep tempting you to do things that you probably shouldn't!

No, I won't :wink:
I'd like to change the exhaust system with ... I don't know! Maybe a Supersprint?

At this moment I have to replace the interior door panels, the mirror switches and the inside door handles.
In the next future I'd like to change color from titansilber to sapphire black :roll:
