He always makes badges of 10 braces as soon as he has got enough people to buy.
I will give him the tip register here if there might be more interest

Yes, I think I must have an early Strong Strut and it doesn't quite fit - the strut just touches the pipe (air breather maybe?) on top of the cam cover. It's only the merest touch and only when the engine moves but it does annoy me.

Looking at more recent pictures they have machined a cut out into that section of the brace to solve the issue.

I suppose I could also get my strut modified similarly to solve the problem.

But "fully tuned"... you need to check this forum more often
lol what? I do hope you're joking.

This guy has one of the most performance led modifications of any car that I've seen here. The modifications are well thought out and "focussed".

You have a modification list with aerials, air freshness, tax disc holders and indicator lenses!

Gotta love Internet forums:

Can't agree more,a very nicely modified z4m

as I promised a certain time a go to a couple of users here- I open my own thread in the M specific zone.
I am Max, 34 years old, running a little restaurant and hotel near Heidelberg Germany. 3 years a go a bought a stock Z4M roadster in imola red with 17k kilometers on it.
Since that day I am in love with my red bastard. 2 Bmw 7 series and one Mercedes CL have accompanied my Z4, the z4 is the only being still here

And as it comes with the time, espescially when you only live about a ten minute drive from Hockenheim Circuit, tuning and improving the car startet.
I will post you a little list what was done.
Fell free to ask to any modification.
Car is nearly perfect now as it is.

mods:

Programmed the M Track Mode from the M3 CSL on my Z4
So having a 2 step dsc (dsc off is still working)
- very nice on a wet race track or on a new race track

Programmed flashing brake lights under hard braking

KW V3 which was changed into a Competition including the strut bearing to run 3 degrees in the front
(my car was adjusted and finished by KW itself in Fichtenberg/Germany)

HMS Valve exhaust (108db) and X pipe

AP Front Brakes Hawk dt60 on track, Ferodo DS2500 on road

Brembo rear Brakes (Porsche Boxster Calipers, standard bmw disc) Hawk ht 10 on track, textar on road

Recaro PP

Genuine CSL Airbox with Alpha N

changed gear transmission ratio to 3,91

changed differential lock to drexler 45%

Wheels:
OZ Ultraleggera 18 ” with Pirelli Corsa Trackday
OZ Ultraleggera 19 “ with Michelin PSS 235/40/19 265/35/19
OZ Formula 19 “ with Michelin PSS 235/40/19 265/35/19
BMW CSL 19 “ with Michelin Cups 245/35/19 265/35/19
And BMW genuine Z4M 18 “ with Michelin Alpine Sport A4 Winter tires

All 19 “ wheels I run 235/40/19 fronts and 265/35/19- so not the standard csl dimensions but a bit higher tires. Much better to drive.

As you can see on the pictures, I have tried some other mods that I sometimes removed again.
I was not so happy with the performance brake for example- but I have to admit, it is due to one of the most "brake-demanding" racetracks that is luckily in my backyard.
I have played with the software by schmickler- great racing team, great software (but did get lost with alpha n eventually)
I played a lot with tires...

I hope you can enjoy my car a bit too
Here are some pics.
Feel free to ask.

Max

No apologies for the thread Resurrection.....
This is one Very nice,well modified z4m Roadsters on here,and those wheels,both the oz's and the gunmetal OEM Cal's both look amazing on this car

Nice mods indeed,pity the op doesn't appear to be around here anymore?

Is BigBlock aka Max still on the forum? Seems like someone who is very into their Z4 and cars in general.

Nice that this thread got back to live...
Yes I am still registered here. But I sold the red baby in 2016 to buy the craziest E89 that was around in Germany at that time.
I will post the spec list and some pictures. It was an awesome car at nearly 600hp built ready for trackdays and as a daily.
But I sold it in 2019 and so I am without a Z4 since 2010 for the first time.
But I replaced the Z4 with a CN Cobra. Which is the best Cobra replica Germany offers- and I don´t regret one second.

Great cars Max. You certainly have an eye for style and modifying. The CN Cobra looks amazing.
Shame about the restaurant, a Z4 trip/meet sounded like a great idea.

Good to hear you’re still around.
