New owner - 3.0 coupe!

Post by BenBeasley2 » Tue Apr 24, 2018 7:24 pm

Hi all,

Just bought 3.0si coupe and looking for suggestions on easy mods.

Already has new alloys but need to be sprayed!

Back box has been taken out so pops and crackles a lot! :)

Congratulations, and welcome to Coupe ownership. :thumbsup:

You've already got a stubby on it too!

As for mods, I can't help much as mine is pretty much standard - which is how I like it.

Although a previous owner had a custom exhaust fitted with a much smaller back-box, so I get some pops and bangs - lovely! :)

Oh yes, I didn't spot that!

I hope you are enjoying your N52 engine - they're great when you let the revs rise! :driving:

Looks great and I'm a fan of the all-black look! What grille do you have?

Subtle spoiler - first one I've seen on a Z4C that I've liked!

Interested in the back box removal, as a few pops and crackles is the only thing I've been missing from mine. Any considerations about getting it done, you think?

CDV delete has to be top of the list to transform gear changes...I would get the gearbox oil done at the same time for extra silkiness.

Also, get those tailpipe cleaned up. :poke:

Great looking motor by the way, I'd be getting the windows tinted for the full black beast look. :thumbsup:

The grill came with the car! The only consideration I would say is that it is loud haha.
