Best Modified Z4 Coupe & Roadsters?

[GuidoK]

So he’s asking only marginally more than a stock car.

He's asking twice the price of what a stock car now about costs. (estimating that a stock roadster S now costs about 25k?)


I think that crash that he had was only minor damage (some small dents & scuffs). I've seen pictures of it on his forum.

I misunderstood your post. I thought you meant the stock Alpina is a little cheaper than the €50k he’s asking, not a little less than the ///M.
In that case, it does explain why he hasn’t been able to sell it.

True, its a lot of money, but still way less than he paid for the mods :lol: (only the diff is 3,5k, the supercharger is (currently) 10k! @ess )
Selling a modified car is either impossible or taking a big financial hit.
Thats why I probably never sell mine (that and that its awesome :lol: , having done everything myself theoretically I could reverse virtually everything in a long weekend or so)

Also found the pics of his crash:


He writes damage to door, sideskirt, rim and rear mudguard.
Nothing structual, just cosmetic.

damage to the other car:

broken plastic bumper.

I don't think that that was the accident that led to the rebuild though - on his website he says 'March [2007] ended on a down note after kissing a tree, damaging the left rear suspension, wheels and body work'

It’s amazing how similar the Zed looks to a Nissan Micra when the front bumper’s been wrenched off

So many people just don’t seem to understand that modified cars (usually) aren’t worth the value of the car plus the value of the mods...

Are there any pics from the crash referred to by Perry?

Mines had a couple of mods

But being a 2.0i I’m fully aware of the whole all show and no go associated with me but I simple couldn’t afford the bigger engine at the time (let alone bloody find another 1 in White at the time)

Hi Jingle,

I LOVE your car! It's one of the best looking ones i have seen so far even if it's a 2.0L.

The wheels and bumpers look amazing and the white and red is spot on!

Looks great! A good candidate for the “all-red” rear lights mod if you’re wondering what to do next.

 

[BMWZ4MC]

Looks great Jingle. I’d debadge it though, at least the boot badge, and cover the boot lock.

 

[synthedup]

I guess mine looks standard (ish) but I have changed a lot since I got her. She’s only a 2.0

Running today:

19” CSL alloys - grey
KW ST XTA coiloves
Poly bushes
Brembo brakes/pads all round.
M MFSW installed
Piano black trim (also have a carbon leather) - both forsale
Fill red leather retrim.
ZHP
M handbrake handle
Painted calipers - silver

Past mods:
H&R springs
Carbon wrap interior - vinyl
Leather wrap - proper leather not my OEM, this was done by a trimmer.
108 changed from 106
19” CSL - silver
Calipers - red

 

[Big Tav]

Yours looks great too Synthedup! Very nice job!

 

[Big Tav]

If you're car was a 3.0si Jingle I'd be trying to buy it off You! It's exactly my style!

I don't think that that was the accident that led to the rebuild though - on his website he says 'March [2007] ended on a down note after kissing a tree, damaging the left rear suspension, wheels and body work'

Yes this is definatly not that crash. Not happened with a tree and also this is from 2010. I dont remember pictures from a 2007 crash but maybe he posted something on GoT.

Never realized that there had been 2 crashes :dizzy:

Yeah, looking again at the photos you posted the car doesn't look like it's Sterling Grey (it's original colour) but colour in photos can be deceptive and appears to have the aero skirts - both of which point to that accident being after the rebuild...

How did you do the filler cap on the wide body?
Liking that front bumper

It was repainted a Lamborghini color IIRC.

Yes it was painted one of the Lambo Greys - I posted a post-respray photo at the bottom of p5 of this thread

Thanks mate! It’s taken me a while, but well worth it!

Hmmm do explain? You got any photos?

Looks great Jingle. I’d debadge it though, at least the boot badge, and cover the boot lock.

Yes I know I really want to do it, I’ve got a blank plate to cover the lock aswel I’ve just not got around to doing it yet

Tint the outer white bits red. Like this...
