Soooo.... being Zedless lasted a while..... :lol:
Luckily I have an understanding wife, but on 15th December (three days after moving house) I collected this rather lovely thing...
Most of you will recognise this as Tertius' Z4MC, which was for sale last year on the forum, and I believe the previous owner to Tertius was also on the forum a while back too.
The Spec is as follows (copied from the ad);
M O D I F I C A T I O N S
INTERIOR
- Full carbon fibre Tillett B5 buckets with Dinamica back, seat pad and headrest panels. (6kg each, saving around 25kg per seat) The seats are on Tillett sliders with normal fore and aft adjustment. Height is fixed but can be altered by re-positioning the seat in the side mounts or adding spacers as necessary. (very good looking seats and surprisingly comfortable for long distance)
- Six point Schroth harnesses in silver for driver and passenger. Original inertia reel belts are retained and used pretty much all the time without any problem. Passenger seat has an occupancy mat fitted – airbag lights activate and extinguish absolutely as normal.
- M steering wheel recovered by Royals in alcantara with top marker in silver leather and M colour stitching (Very good looking part as well)
- Turned alloy gear knob (original available).
- Inntravee and Alpine 420i iphone adaptor fitted.
SUSPENSIONS
- Intrax 1K2 adjustable suspension, coilovers at the front; barrel spring rears. Setup and geometry by Center Gravity. It has been first set up for track use, but is now back to a road-friendly set-up by Center Gravity again. Very sharp and precise. Stance is spot-on as well.
- Suspension currently on a soft setup, it's quite firm on the road but I find it totally acceptable for a daily use.
- Original suspension (around 30/35k still available)
BRAKES
- FRONT : AP RACING 6-pots caliper
Performance Friction grooved floating discs
Brake pads – Ferrodo DS2500 (Almost new - around 700 miles)
- REAR : AP RACING 4-pots rear monoblock calipers
OEM BMW cross drilled discs
Brake pads – Pagid RS4-2
- Both serviced and repainted in M blue when the car was 60k
- Brake Fluid Motul RBF 600.
- This is actually the same suspensions/brakes set-up used on some BMW 1-series race cars, so it is quite something !
CHASSIS
- Strongstrut 3 part front brace.
- Rear trailing arm bushes replaced with new OEM bushes and limiters
ENGINE
- Standard, fully rebuilt by BMW under warranty with brand new Block, crank rods and bearings, as well as a Vanos rebuild in Feb 2013 (at 59,112 miles), so essentially it has around 10K on.
- Further running in service completed at 60,113 miles.
- Vibra-Technic engine mounts (road spec)
- Current mileage 69,000. Next oil service due at 75,500 miles.
- RPI air scoop.
- Full stamp and service history. Loads of invoices for services/upgrades.
EXHAUST
- Supersprint manifold
- Supersprint sport cats
- Standard X-pipe and back boxes – very quiet, passes noise limits everywhere.
TRANSMISSION
- Standard 6 speed manual. No noise or grippy gear, everything smooth.
BODYWORK
- Black nostril grilles (original with chrome surround still available)
- Paintwork significantly restored including a full front end respray.
- Only bad point is a tiny dent on the right rear shoulder but not that visible
WHEELS / TYRES
Apex EC7 18x8.5 ET35 on the front and 18x10 ET25 of the rear.
Michelin Pilot Super Sports
Alloys come with BMW centre caps.
My wife has been incredibly understanding (in her words "You're SO predictable!", but after having the advert open on my web browser for the best part of 4 months, I couldn't resist any longer.
Plans for the car are.............firstly to leave it on a battery conditioner in the garage for the next 2-3 months whilst we sort out the house, decorate and so on (lol).
As time permits, I plan to get a few small niggles sorted out - locate and sort some clunks and clonks from the suspension and brakes, and then generally tidy it up in a few places - possibly respray the front and rear bumper and skirts which have a few stone chips and a bit of gravel rash...
Other than that, funds permitting, once it gets warmer and the sun comes out, it's TRACKDAYS TRACKDAYS TRACKDAYS
:evil:
Can't bloody wait! It's going to be a long winter :lol:
I'm also hoping to get out to some of the more regular meets, Newlands Corner, Vanity etc. I've always wanted to come along and hoping now to have a bit more time to be able to
