Bad_Pritt's Black Pearl II - Z4QP 3.0si

Post by Bad_Pritt » Fri Jun 29, 2012 4:05 pm

Hi all,

I have owned 2 Zeds in the past, being a dark Grey 2.5i Roadster and a Black 2.2i Roadster aka "Black Pearl" for which you will find a full history in the next 41 pages. Or the short story in the vids below.

My latest purchase is a black Z4 3.0si Coupé, aka Black Pearl II, for which you can find all details as from page 42 !!

Cheers,
Kris

Bad_Pitt - Welcome to the best forum on the internet for 'all things' relating to Z4's (and more :D)

Pictures of your new toy would be great when you take delivery.

Bad_Pritt's Black Pearl II - Z4QP 3.0si

Post by Bad_Pritt » Mon Jul 02, 2012 12:08 pm

In the course of this week the car will finally be ready for delivery! :D

I have asked the Stealer to change the interior: I wasn't fond of the wooden inlay and had it replaced by the OEM grey metal inlays. I also asked to change the gear knob from blak to black/metal grey. Everything looks so much better now!

Can't wait to drive...

After!

Careful with this one - you might experience some light-hearted abuse if you use them too liberally.

Looks nice as it is :thumbsup:

Yes, thought so too... I'm still hesitating. Then again: everyone has the right to have an opinion :P
Tuning in general is never popular with die hard OEM fans anyway :?

The only thing that bothers me a bit, are the tail lights... I have been looking for hours, days, weeks to find a more modern alternative but no tuning parts exist except all red ones or all black ones ... I was hoping to find something a little more original, maybe like the jetta lights or RX-8 lights

I'm hoping to find some inspiration on this forum but so far... :tumbleweed:

Looks great...

Strange spec though... Aero skirts and rear, but not an aero front- which arguably is the best part of the aero kit!!!
