Latest on the Stage 2 + Z4 35i - :-D

[Jonnoh2017]

Hi All !

Happy new year to you all, I thought I would post a few pictures up as it's been a while and I've completed a few more mods recently.

I Have fitted:
- FMIC VRSF 7"
- Dual intake filters
- BBS Alloy wheels and Yokohama Advan sport tyres for now
- Decat Exhaust
- MHD Tuner stage 2 + Map - Approx 420 BHP crank
- Drilled Disc and uprated Pads

To do;
- BOV vales
- Decat downpipes
- Fit X pipe back into exhaust so it mixes flow and noise (Will sound better I think as now its almost as if its running 2 x 3 Cly turbo engines)
- Hybrid turbos - one day..

For gigs;
- Want to fit a Barry Wing , struggle to find something that will look classy / Aggressive - Might mock one up with cardboard to see haha!

For Summer;
- Road trip to Europe from UK - Possibly Alps or grossglockner - Please give me a shout if you want to join in !

Cheers,

That's looking very awesome man!

That drop looks perfect! are you running coil-overs or just springs?

If you ever put her on the dyno please post the results as I am also running the MHD Stage 2+ tune, although I have most of the mods you mentioned other than the hybrid turbos.
What do you mean by fit x box back into the exhaust?


With regards to the drilled discs. Did you have them drilled or did you buy a set of drilled oem discs and if so what car are they from. I.e. F30 etc?

Hi Sachak!.

Cheers for the comments mate
Ha the ride height is OEM but perhaps the 19s fill the arches in a way that makes it seem lower?

Ha I have contemplated a Dyno run but not sure I will get round to it to be honest.

By X-Pipe I mean on the OEM centre section there is a small part where the two pipes merge and it allows gases to mix.
On my aftermarket exhaust the two pipes are separate from the turbo back - So im thinking the exhaust may sound better if mixed!

Um I bought the discs from Germany I think, Went for cast ones I believe as machined ones tend to crack - From Z4 35i.
I'll try and find a link .

The company was Autodoc - they have mixed reviews ;

1. FDB4401 Brake Pad Set, disc brake 1 42,28
2. FDB4221 Brake Pad Set, disc brake 1 47,11
3. 150.3493.52 Brake Disc 2 116,62
4. 150.3491.52 Brake Disc 2 161,02

Cheers!

If that is OEM then something is very off with my car cause mine came with 19's from the factory and it most definitely doesn't look anything near that.
You sure the previous owner didn't play with the ride height at all?

Anyways it looks awesome.

I see what you mean about the mixing gases situation. I am definitely going to look into that myself then as I have two seperate pipes from the downpipes all the way to the stock oem back boxes, so I am probably running a very similar setup to you.

Hmmm, Well the car was totally Stock when I bought it, One previous owner so I would be amused if the old chap had lowered it But I have thought before it seems to sit nicely. Maybe something needs replacing lol !.

Cheers for the compliments! Post a pic of yours up

Yeah I hadn't thought about it until recently, would be interesting to find out.

Let me know if you or anyone else want to join the europe long weekender !
