Finally after hours of trying, the stubborn seat rail has finally been removed, all without cutting through the bolt. Fellow forum member chemical.equal (thanks again)

The front shocks do not fit in a Z4 knuckle. God knows what they fit, as they are identical to the ones on the MaXPeeding website for Z4. No other information or adaptors available. Anyhow I got hold of a good set of OEM parts on here instead and sold the car, so they are still on the shelf.chemical.equal277 said:How are those coilovers? Good or crap?

I can see you used plenty of protection on the carpet, trim etc.
Got to ask though, how many burn holes in the headlining?

Yeah of course, what was I thinking.skmattwell said:chemical.equal277 said:How u get on with seats O.P. ?
Hopefully fitting them tomorrow as Ive has to wait for the seat occupancy bypass. Thought it would be less fiddly to do outside of the car.

None at all from what I can seeDidn't want to risk any airbags going off or fault codes by reconnecting the battery

They sports seats are officially in! Yet to take them on a trst drive but if they feel as good as they look then I'll have no complaints.
Thanks again everyone for your advice, it's been a journey (this is the 70th post on the thread!) But we finally got there. Hope to see you all in real life at some point! Maybe ace cafe?
