Hi All,

Hi all, finally after 8 months of looking, started looking at the Z4c sport and in the end I convinced myself a Z4m coupe was a must, so on January 3rd I got myself a silver grey, red leather, stock MC, 62k on the clock, bodywork and interior is mint, I got Miller Oil to analyse the oil, the results came back very positive, which has put my mind at rest. Me and a couple of mate are going to Roadstr (I know hot hatch meet ) at Cotswold Airport on Saturday morning, if you see a grey z4mc say hello 😎
 
Hi and a very warm welcome from a fellow Coupe owner. :thumbsup:

I had a couple of 3.0Sis for over 5 years, then exactly a month ago I picked up my Silver Grey M Coupe with Imola Red leather on 76K miles but it's not exactly stock. It's got H & R coil-overs, a strut-brace, CSL replicas, spacers and possibly other tweaks I haven't discovered yet!

Why shouldn't it go to a hot hatch meet? It's a hatch, and even by current standards it's still pretty hot! :lol:

I hope you are enjoying the M experience as much as I am. :driving:
 
Thanks for the welcome Mr Tidy, I did see your MC up for sale but you were quick off the mark, well done it looks a stunner. I’ve got a few plans to upgrade the suspension it’s not great on stock, yeah the Roadstr Hot Hatch meet will be good fun, only a fiver to get in and I joined on the RoadStr app, it looks good.
 
I had to be quick, the seller (or possibly his OH :lol: ) wanted it gone before Christmas - so it was!

You mention suspension, so before you get too involved it might be helpful to let you know that as well as the H & R coil-overs my car had fitted it came with a set of H & R lowering springs (1 inch lower all round) and a full set of Eibach Pro springs that are 20mm lower at the front and 10mm lower at the rear that may all be available if I can get the coil-overs set up in a way I like. I suspect the H & R lowering springs will be available whatever, but if my coil-overs are still a bit low I might use the Eibachs and get some Bilstein shocks to go with them.

Hopefully I'll know in a couple of days. :thumbsup:
 
Welcome to the z4 forum, it's good to see you flying your Z4 flag so early on with fellow petrolheads 👍🏻 Enjoy the Z4 experience

now looking forward to upgrading the suspension.

Your car looks stunning, but obviously I'm biased. :lol:

Anyway it looks like I will be keeping the coil-overs on mine, so I've got a full set of Eibach lowering springs (20mm front, 10mm rear) that came off my car and look pretty clean.

And I've get the H & R lowering springs that the previous owner had on his previous MC (1" drop all round). I don't know how many miles they did, but going by his posts on here he had the car for 2 and a half years.

But all 8 shocks look like original BMW ones, so are more than 10 years old! I'll probably offer them for free - might be useful for someone wanting to go back to standard to sell.

I will be putting an advert on here for the springs, but if either set would be of any interest you could get in 1st. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the offer Mr Tidy :thumbsup: My stock suspension is in good order as one of the previous owners have KW’s fitted and replaced it back to stock when he sold it, as I found out on a YouTube review, which was a weird experience viewing..... MrPT it’s a great combo especially when photographed, seeing other colour combos in the flesh is quite surprising, I was lucky to get a deal at blackbushe ( via We Buy Any Car ) for a song.
 
Aha, yes I know it. Was owned by veilside85 and mpm on here. Shame he removed the KWs, but it’s a cracking car, either way. :thumbsup:
 
What a gorgeous looking car... a fabulous choice,... so welcome to the MC club
