Priced New $6k- $7k USD. I'm open to offers though. Serious bit of kit.

I'm an honest guy not pushing these on anyone just thought I'd post them up if anyone happened to be looking for a racing set. These were custom made for a z4 customer thats all I know.
I bought them as listed at auction for a 2016 z4 which turned out to be the wrong info, but hey we live and learn.
The electronic handbrake piece you refer to is only relevant to the e89 which these are not for.
I am thd guy who posted on Facebook.
I ain't out to rip anyone off or con anyone, I'm nothing like that.
Cheers

These are WP brakes I've been chatting with the director Ibrahim and he can clarify. These are a serious racing kit, one off custom made for a Z4.
$6k-$7k is the sale price from WP.
Replacement parts I've been told are not an issue.
The company have been awesome with responding to all my questions.

Got to make a living somehow. Double Glazing sounds like a good idea
Vanne said:
They were a custom one off job according to WP.
Website is a nightmare but there working on it apparantley, I had to contact them through email.

I only put a price down that reflected the retail cost according to WP, I've no idea what to sell them for to be honest, it's the only set ever made by WP which I've heard are a well respected company in this line of parts in the racing scene etc. I'm no expert so apologies if ive upset anyone regarding the price, what else am I going to do with them, that's why I posted here as I thought this is thee place to sell these sort of parts? And get advice.
Sounds like you know exactly what you want from them having read the fb posts. Even if they are going for retail or less you're making a large mark up by your own admission, a pretty silly thing to do.
What can you do? Sell for what you paid and postage could be one option.

I've no interest tbh on making a profit all I want is a BBK for my E89 that's all iv talked about over the past year, so if I can sell these to do so or even swap them for a kit I would. Someone will still get an awesome setup for cheaper than they need to pay, I'm just fortunate/lucky enough after a year of constantly searching (lot of time spent searching and travelling) to have been in the right place at the right time and grabbed a bargain to which I think that auction house haven't had a clue what they were selling.
What kind of price is in a full BBK for an E85/6 from a descent manufacturer, had a quick look and fronts alone are near enough 3k
Honestly not out to take the piss, if I was I'd be selling for more than what there worth.
But these are brand new, never actually fitted to a car or used I found out.
Think I'll just remove the post from here as obviously I'm upsetting some people and that was never my intention and just call it a day here.
If I delete my profile here do all my threads etc go with it?

No need to go mate, take it on the chin and move on. Perhaps be a little more active and get to know how the place spins. I'm afraid you'll always get the odd jelly spined keyboard warrior saying nasty things for fun, it's just how some 'fucked up people' are. It's good to see some different cars, it'd be boring if we all followed the same route.
Anyway up to you, hopefully you'll stay on.

Cheers John, don't have time to listen to negative comments and get ribbed on a Z4 FORUM about the car (a z4 may i add :roll: ) I spent a lot of money and time on as I'm an individual with my own vision or trying to maybe help sell something Z4 related (which I won't be doing on here again)
But yeah I know there is always a select few who wish to rock the boat, but honestly it doesn't bother me as much as it used too, so I tend to just up and leave such situation/groups etc as life's to short to stress over comments on a forum/social media.
Some really nice members on here that have helped me out genuinely and I'll stick around for them. But I'll delete this thread so I'm not hit with messages and in future if I need help with anything I'll private message the members I know.
Again Cheers John

Certainly was never my intention mate, but lesson learnt.
Yeah I completely understand regarding decals 100%, the car has that marmite reaction but I wanted to do something different amd not follow the crowd solely for shows and I'm succeeding in my eyes anyway.
Cheers
I really like your car and love people following there dreams and vision good luck to you.
This brake thread has gone s bad way. I get your point though. You listed a price that can always go down not up! And anyone can make an offer. Your just trying to make as much as you can for your bbk. It just comes across sneaky. Your being upfront about it so credit to you.
Don't go leaving!! Have you looked at if M brakes fit?

Thanks mate,
Yeah wish I never bothered posting it tbh, but as mentioned before iv learned a lesson. I won't go but won't be posting much unless required.
Never meant to be sneaky, just inexperienced I suppose :?
Yes I'm sure M brakes do fit with some modification (unfortunately I don't have those skills) but without the stress of doing it I'd rather just get a straight fit BBK which the only company I know that do them for the E89 is PB BRAKES plus I can customise the design of them, there about £3200 + shipping etc, not as good as WP PRO BRAKES buy tbh I don't need all that stopping power so wasted on me.
I'll stick around but will delete this topic/thread this evening just to give anyone a chance to read my replies to their comments.
Thanks
