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 !!

Thanks, just updated the first post with pics... not the best quality as these are the pics I got from the garage

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

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...

Before:

After!

Hello and welcome. The cars is certainly transformed with the metal inlays, looks far better than the wooden nautical theme

- M emblems

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

Looks nice as it is

Yes, thought so too... I'm still hesitating. Then again: everyone has the right to have an opinion
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...

Looks great...

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

Hello and welcome! Modding already, good man!

 

[Drshemming]

Welcome, great looking car, don't forget the Gaptech remote mod, it is a must for a Roadster.

yeah... noticed it too... I would have to check with the Stealer as it was sold and maintained in the same place I bought it. I have the full history of the car. I hope nothing happened with it :|

Welcome, great looking car, don't forget the Gaptech remote mod, it is a must for a Roadster.

I suppose it's a system to open the top with 1 click remote? Heard of it as well... Any idea what that would cost?

You bet! I would hate to see the exact same car as I am driving on the road... :wink:

Just fitted it on my M roadster... Works perfect and easy to install. It's not a 1 click remote, but a 3 click remote to open and close the roof. Price and the different systems you can find on the Gaptech website.

Just checked it on the website... I'll probably get one because it's true that it's a lot easier than to keep pushing the button untill the roof is open or closed. :| Does it also work whilst driving? (at low speed of course) :scratchhead:

 

[Bad_Pritt]

She is finally home! And the first mod is already done: K&N air filter
Better pics soon!!
