i think its an incredible platform to work with , throw in that engine its pretty damn special. A properly suspended z4 with a top end damper always blows my mind. Its well an truly scuppered my car journey , as how do i better it for a reasonable cost? ( especially if youve got a well modded one) i feel abit stuck lol! only option now is to have 1 year of non stop work , dig deep and make something dreamy happen.... i do however no its time for a change, but that doesnt mean the z4 needs to leave. First things first next year.... i need to get back to enjoying life , ive spent years building my business , time to do me abit.

    I quite agree,no need to work 24/7.
    Your z is very well sorted anyway.
    I know alot of people reckon the standard z4m Suspension isn't as good as it can be,but I kind of like it.
    That's why I am having a dilemma at what suspension I put on come the time.
    As I'm looking to o refresh it/renew it completely in the coming year or so,and can't decide whether to Renew everything with BMW Parts or go to Adustable suspension/Coilovers like Bilstein or kw3.
    Because,as said, I like the way it handles just now on Standard Shocks and Springs(although I feel it's probably due a refresh at over 60k miles),with a few minor upgrades ,and like the idea of keeping it reasonably standard.
    I am not sure if I would get much more from it on Coilovers than I do now.

    Anyway,it's been great seeing your business flourish mate,and also to see you coming out of the other side,of your recent battles with cancer .
    Hopefully next year I will be back down your way,and we can get a run out in the zeds.

    Take care :thumbsup:

    craig, again, thanks for all the words, support everything, none has gone unnoticed.

    R.E the stock suspension i agree with you, i liked it... and had the car not morphed where it went i was very happy with it and the stock brakes ( which i felt were really good with some new pads, fluids and lines) .

    The coilovers ( track biased) really did take it to another level but then, on the other side , the car becomes more and more less usable with every change, if we ever get to gt these together id love to take you out in it so you can experience the performance with sticky tyres etc. Really looking forward to getting back to the track next year, its been a long time coming.
