My boss on one of my longer-term contracts had a 370Z that he swapped for a 370Z Nismo as a birthday gift to himself. He went on and on about how well it sounded and handled, so when I gave him a go of my Z4MC he couldn't fathom how a car of similar weight and power could feel so different and raw.

If they're handed are they fitted to the correct side of the car, so that they are tightening when being driven ;)

They're still available from https://x8r.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/357

I'm afraid this recommendation may not receive the good wishes or respect you may think it deserves, as Mike (and the Zedshed) have fallen out with a few members on here over dubious practices. https://z4-forum.com/threads/zed-shed.150915/ To be fair, I never had a problem for the bits I had...

Glad I could help, and wasn’t hallucinating things ;)

I simply put in better seats in my Z4MC...Recaro Pole Position ABE in Black Ambla & Alcantara...and the combo if a much better seat (better thigh/hip/rib support) means the standard 3-point belt is fine for trackdays & fast road. The racing harnesses I have seen fitted have usually bean...

The buttons with the minus signs on them, to the right of the numbered buttons, will cycle through the settings shown in the little window above them. I think they show programme type / TA via RDS.

Mine just say "Brembo"...or they did when I last saw the car, back in the mists of time.

[NOT MINE] Seems a cheap upgrade route to me, especially if you're wanting a custom paint job on them £300 https://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/threads/full-set-of-996-calipers-and-pads-blasted-and-machined-for-an-e46-m3-or-z4m.282425/#post-3866752

They’re nice CSL-styles 19” wheels (and at a good price), but the only genuine Z4M wheels are 18” 224Ms.

Depends on what parts you were asking for. The OBC is what shows the trip consumption, odometer, miles to empty, etc. If you were asking for new disks/pads/tyres/wheels/body panels, then the OBC is irrelevant.

Maybe your's is the same as all the others, or maybe it's down to worn components (gearbox, clutch, release bearing, syncros)? Although it could simply be down to the amount of time & money BMW spent on their gearbox for a bog-standard £30k road-going Z4 (5-speed Getrag) vs how much time &...

Yes they do. I had them on my Z4MC until I fitted a strut brace. They're designed for the e46, but I still think the ///M logo should be horizontal & the same orientation on each leg...but you can't get them both to face the same way.

I think the standard suspension suits the Roadster better than the Coupe, but even a decade ago when I did my upgrade to Bilstein B16 PSS10, there wasn’t much change from £3k…but it’s been well worth it. If it were me, and on a budget, I’d just fit OE springs with B6 dampers…unless you can save...

Good price, but Insp2 should include gearbox & diff oil changes as per the official service schedule - hope they replaced the spark plugs too!
