Hi everyone,
Well done on such a great forum. My first post here!
I have read most of the threads and still shifting through some old ones.
I just got a Z4 3.0i Sport 2004 and pretty impressed with it.
Its done 49K miles as is in absolutely mint condition.
Its running 17" wheels which is perfect for unsprung mass as it will be used mainly for spirited driving and the occasional track day.
Apart from removing the foam from the sound generator (mod no1 for any Z4 3.0), I also staggered a bit the ride by increaseing the width of the rear tyres from 225/45 to 245/40, on the original 8J alloy wheels and so far the improvement has been positive with slightly better grip but also a slightly faster steering feel.
I will be setting her up geometry wise after changing the front bushes and stabilizer links today so will report on any modifications carried out to her.
I got her a Xenon kit (dipped beam 4300K) for improved night time driving which i will install once it arrives int he post and also got her a Parrot 9200MKii system for overall improvement in the sound and modern comfort.
I have also refurbished the leather interior at a leather restorer including any scuffs on the he steering wheel, so she is looking prim and proper.
Eventually the plan is to also refurbish the wheels.
The top most mod on my mind after fitting the Xenons would be to mod the front lights for the modern feel, but as most expressed here, sourcing a set of clears requires a mortgage so i am really at a loss on what to do there. THe other option is to get the non OEM clear headlights on fleabay but I am not sure if they will make the car look cheap.
Any thoughts and suggestions, or even better criticism from your side is appreciated.
It has the wood detailing in the interior which initially was going to remove but in reality it grew on me and my missus likes it too so it will stay.
