Z4M Bilstein Suspension

Post by mpm » Sun Dec 30, 2018 10:36 am

Hi all. For sale I have my bilstein suspension set up.
I bought the car with these on them, and having done some research I believe they are the following set up.

Bilstein shocks with Ground control adjustable spring kit, inc Ground Control Adjustable top mounts, and rear height adjustment with rogue engineering strut tops.

This is a rare set up, which for UK roads was superb.

The only reason I’m selling them, as I now have a coupe with KW coilovers, so I’m selling the parts from my Roadster. They have covered approx. 7k miles.

I’m looking for £550, ideally collected from Bracknell RG12, due to the size and weight, however will meet within a 50 mile distance from here if it helps aid the sale.

Here are some photos.

If they're not suitable for a 3.0 E85, I'd like 2nd dibs, please :thumbsup:

They came off my M Roadster. So can confirm they fit M cars, but wouldn’t like to say on non M

to confuse matters, my "common garden" e85 3.0se has factory fitted m sports suspension - so it theory that would fit mine or anybody with m sports suspension ?
btw - i dont want them - i want soft soggy comfy suspension :o even though they do look damn sexy ...................
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.
gone but not forgotton -Mean Steve - made a sound like a bear with his nuts in a trap.

No apparently they wouldn't fit yours either. My 3.0Si Sport has the whole works too. The Z4M had completely different wishbones and mounting points for the suspension. Or so I've been told. So this will only fit Z4M and not a standard Z4 regardless of spec.

Same wishbones, but yes, the struts and mounting points are different.
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel
2006 Z4 2.5si: gone

Would those adjustable rear spring perches work on my B8's with H&R springs i wonder?.... and i'm guessing the camber plates would be a direct swap onto my B8's?
3.0si E85, Rogue eng. RTAB's+top mounts, ultra racing brace, YSR coilovers, YSR camber plates, DS2500's, carbon grilles, stubby, 3SDM 0.09's, Yokohama AD08r's, H&R anti-rollbars, adjustable rear arms, backbox delete, custom geo. Lots of polybushes

seems to me there are more variables on a z4 than farts in a tin of beans :o
