My 2006 Z4 3.0Si Supercharged, new updates

[srhutch]

A great car and worthy of the individual badging

[si-forks]

Love the individual badging promise I won't copy it

[bmwZ]

Thanks, I think it is ok to use the Individual badges over the M badges

I will get my newly painted brakes back from the paintshop tomorrow as well. Looking forward to get them fitted to the Z

Will they be red ?

[bmwZ]

Yes, also a Lamborghini colour. Called Rosso Mars. A three stage pearl paintjob

I love the attention to detail, but enough with the aesthetics - they can be sorted after the Supercharger - get on it!!

Haha... Yes, that is thrue... Will take the Z4 to ESS HQ tomorrow. They want to keep the car for a week. A lot of small adjustments have to be done to make the Z4 N52 Kit. I have also asked for Stage 1+ that gives a little more boost and higher fuel pressure

A teaser of the brakes, logos looks white, but they really are silvergrey.

Excellent news - I'm watching progress closely! What power/torque figures are they expecting? Does the kit utilise stock engine management or aftermarket?

Those brakes look mega

I think they expect 280+ hp at the wheels. Not sure about the torque. You will se before and after dyno for my car. They have their own software based on stock parameters.

Nice Coupé!
I love the machined finish dash trim!

Excellent. How long until you get it back?

They wan't to keep it to the end of next week

Before I drove the Z to ESS, I got the time to mount my new brakes

This is the parts used:

Front:

-Original Bmw Performance calipers
-Original Bmw M3 CSL rotors
-Original Bmw Performance brake pads
-Special made brackets for caliper made to fit Z4

Rear:

-Original Bmw 3.0Si calipers
-PF drilled rotors
-Original brake pads
-Mercedes E-Class caliper covers

Those front performance brake calipers was not a great match to my new paintjob, so I decided to paint them Lamborghini Rosso Mars 3 stage red.
As I kept the original rear caliper, I had to do those as well.





Rear brakes:

Those rear brakes was not that good


To get a nice finish on the rear caliper, I grinded them smooth, a work from hell


After the pro paint job


To give those rear calipers a nicer look, I modificated a Mercedes E-class brake cover


After fresh paint, the logo was oversprayed and sealed with some clear coat.


New rotors mounted


Cover mounted to caliper and spring
