Jamie's 2005 Z4 3.0i SE

I'd never heard of JOM before this thread, just done a quick Google and they seem to have surprising good reviews especially considering their price point. Interesting that you used e46 ones but which ones did you go for, seems to be 5 or 6 options depending on e46 model. given the differing kerb weights for E46's over E85s I guess you need to choose wisely. these could be a great option for e85/6 owners on a budget but can you get them to adjust to a ride height similar to eibachs etc.

they are JOM bluelines and are suitable for all the e46 range (from a 316i compact to a 330d touring) so imagine the kerb weight difference there, they are perfectly well balanced on the z4, ive had them on there now over 6 months no problems, although as you can probably imagine its never driven hard anywhere now on 11J wheels :lol:


i probably wouldnt reccomend them to anyone who enjoys to actually drive their car hard and fast as at the end of the day, budget coils IMO are just for maximum lows for minimal cost :thumbsup:

I can imagine road humps are big no no.😂
Shame they could have been a good alternative option for someone going down the eibachs route without a shocker refresh. At this sort of money you be mad not to as they are probably better than 10+ years old 50, 80, 100k+ knackered old factory ones

My thoughts entirely mate! Id defo be tempted with them if your shockers were leaking and leaving them at a sensible ride height to see your thoughts for sub £200 :)

Fitted a lotus white (?) interior tonight from a facelift car retaining heating function but loosing electric function which suits me as I'm the only driver
 
Don't think I've ever seen a white interior, Spices things up nicely :thumbsup: - from the pic it seems to go well with the paintwork (although you're having a re-spray - the white will go with most colours I guess)
 
yesss like the white but you going to suffer ocd with rosie after walks marks maybe a nice tartan throw for her :D

Haha thanks mate your dead right gonna invest in one for the winter 😂
 
The white interior bits certainly change the look of the car - looks good.
Got me wondering what the long dash insert would look like wrapped in the same colour rather than the brushed aluminium....?

Looks similar to my first Z4. I had Those German Beyern mesh alloys though best quality wheels I've had. Not the best pics but did look amazing.

I've thought about getting a spare set and painting to match the cars titanium silver. Never got around to it but might work in yours Jaime as alternative to white.

Could be to be fair. I think I've been toying with it because I sometimes think the carbon wrap I've got makes it all a bit too dark at times
