I think it looks awesome, and I especially like the quads.
Thanks for sharing the process.

I'm not a huge fan of the quad exhaust (it screams "custom" where as the rest of your mods are fairly subtle) but they do look quite aggressive. I think the rest of it looks absolutely great!

There are not many Z's get that response from me - as many keep them stock.

What you have done is by subtle modifications made a fantastic motor - it looks great.

Love it.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Here is a recent date I had with the Z4.. I assume it's perfectly normal to wait for a table next to the window so you can take periodic glances at your mechanical love child. :roll:

Love what you've done to the beast and so glad to find someone brave enough to change from stock!
I'm about to start modding mine and have a question RE lowering: I believe your coils are adjustable, what did you find was the optimum height to lower it by? Can you get over speed bumps?

Appreciate your help :)

The 1st and only thing I've done to mine is to get rid of those awful badges. Bmw didn't even put them on straight. :D

First time I've noticed this, but boy are there some M6/6 series similarities!

BMW have a blind guy who fits all of their badges. As such he's no use at all, but his guide dog does it's best at getting them straight.

I have yet to see an ///M badge straight on the rear of either a Roadster or a Coupe. If you take the average of mine and Flimper's they're straight!

Stunning amount of work and dedication, a serious P&J. Well done.
Look forward to your cleaning regime, although what you have mentioned so far, puts me to shame, although I could probably double the quantity of cleaning/polishing goodies you showed.
I'm assuming its well garaged for it to look so clean on each pic, or is it only used on dry sunny days?
