Hey all

I'm new to the forum, get my first Z4 E89 this week and cannot wait. More used to tinkering with vans but would like to do some mods to the Zed..

The colour got me!

The car is a 2014 2.0 18i with 19 inch rims and some decent upgrades.

Got a few ideas of things I'd like to do, but looking forward to seeing what others have done to make their Zeds unique

Based in Berkshire, I expect I will be taking the Zed to Podium cafe often enough, so if you see it, say hi!

Hi and welcome to the forum with your stunning Valencia Orange Z4. :thumbsup:

They look like Style 326 wheels which can suffer from cracking, especially if you sill have run-flat tyres so it's well worth trying to avoid potholes - which is quite a challenge!
Coupes because stunning!

I'm not a fan of black wheels, but as the OP has only just bought the car I figured he didn't choose the colour! :lol:

Oops, I've said it now. :lol:

Welcome aboard and with by far the best colour E89 available (he says, without a hint of bias!)
Not a fan of the black wheels but hey, can't see them from the driver's seat. :wink:
And for 300 of your finest English pounds you could pick up a cheeky little remap to 280bhp. What's not to like :D

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the warm welcome and pleased to hear its not just me who loves the orange! Although I'm now a bit worried as I'm a black wheel fan....

Good to know about the wheels and cracking. And also about the engine remapping, this is on my list to explore.

Exciting times!

Curious to know what the non black wheel brigade think of the wheels on my van.. A bit marmite, they came with the van, but I do love them too.

From my van think you can see why I liked the Z4 colour!

Hope I'm not breaking forum rules mentioning another German manufacturer 😉
