Also any performance modifications on your car yet?
Thanks! I'll take some more photos for you soon.

No performance mods, car is still under BMW warranty, so I can't mess about with it.

OP you forgotten about these pics haha

You are correct sir.

2 bolts/screws under the diffuser, the rest is just moulded clips all round. very easy.

Been driving this today.... I was very surprised and impressed, 2.0i version.

After seeing a yellow Z4 from the US online with some vinyl work, I was inspired to try something similar.

My initial thoughts were red and black would work well together, what could go wrong?

This is how it turned out...

That looks superb, black and red go together like nothing else, top drawer.

Needs the front lowering a touch and a BBK to really finish it off....but it looks mighty fine, wheels are perfect.

BBK? Can you enlighten me pls? I assume it’s not a Burger King whopper

Nose low already....?? Have you seen the arch gap on the front squire..?

PB do front and rear 4,6, 8 pot kits for the E89 along with a line lock for the rear. Ok I agree they’re not necessary but this car is not exactly standard in looks is it, I do think a nice set of anodised calipers with polished bells would look awesome on it.

Thank you!

I've kept the BMW warranty going so no messing about with it too much. Besides, my car comes with the M sport adaptive suspension, and if I'm right, drops the car about 10mm?? Which also means BMW's R&D department spent time on the optimal setup for this car, I don't want to change that just for some looks. Plus if it was any lower, I think I would scrape the front splitter getting on and off my drive, right now it clears it perfectly.

Speaking from experience of my second car which I dropped by 30mm, I instantly regretted it, driving that car was no longer a joy and I could barley get over speed humps; going up at one angle then coming down at another angle.

I vowed... never again!!
