Took the coupe for a 160 mile round trip to Herefordshire. Saw rain, sunshine, then snow before getting back! Definitely needs a clean now. Eisenmann race bedding in nicely now - You can tell that they have specifically tuned the sound, not just a louder noise.

Do you have a link for where you got this please? I assume this is the same for the Z4M?
I actually got both parts from a guy who was breaking his car on Facebook so unfortunately I don’t know the part numbers - I paid £50 for both delivered .
