Hi you lot .
Been a member on here a while and posted occasionally, never formally introduced myself . The names Dave and I live in Hertfordshire.
Bought a zm coupe at at the start of April last year and im throughly enjoying every minute of ownership . As with all things car related things escalate quite quickly , and from thinking it would be good to have a nice car to drive at weekends I'm now in the situation where I won't be happy until I have a supercharged M
October last year I started replacing/upgrading bits .
New badges
Private plate (bought before I got the car lol)
New parcel shelf roller blind thingy
Stomung exhaust
Carbon front splitter
Clutch delay valve delete
Turner motorsport Rtab limiter kit
Rogue engineering rear shock mounts
Front and rear droplinks
Front strut reinforcement plates
Bilstein pss10 b16 coilovers
Various other suspension bushes
Vibratechnics race engine mounts
Michelin ps4
10mm spacers Front and rear
Csl geo setup
Eventuri intake
All work carried out by rennworks in stevenage , porsche and mclaren specialist, but the owner is an old friend who has always had an unhealthy obsession with bmw's . So knew it was in good hands.
I then decided I needed some more carbon under the bonnet, so purchased a rad cover and engine cover from skyer motorsport
At the same time I got a skyer carbon boot spoiler , which led me to convincing myself I needed a carbon roof. Geoff steel recived some money and I had said roof . Around this time I discovered that aeros were a necessity . Managed to find some on here from a forum member ( Street) thanks mate . Damaged but cheaper than normal . They would need a colour change anyway so having to repair them wasn't a problem .
Dropped all the body parts off at daytona coachworx also In stevenage . Side skirts not a problem . Decided to have the carbon roof and rear spoiler sanded and clearcoated to give them more depth . After alot of prep and 12 coats of clear all bubbles that some people had mentioned in previous roof threads are gone and the parts are all fitted . Along with new roof and window rubbers . Pictures attached (hopefully)
Discovered a blow in the exhaust . Appears as though there is a crack in the manifold right next to the flange where it joints the next section of exhaust. Bad times ,Looks like I'll have to replace it .
At the same time I'll be looking at high flow / race cats or decat centre sections possibly supersprint .
Next up needs to be an Ess supercharger and an AP bbk
My nan passed away a few months back , once her house is sold ill have the funds .
Being as she was German , I reckon a supercharger for my German car is what she would have wanted lol
