My 2006 Z4 3.0Si Supercharged, new updates

[bmwZ]

Hi, where did u buy "Z4M front bumper -Z4M rear bumper -Z4M hood" And how much did it cost?

Hi! The bumpers I got from ebay. They cost me 900 Euros, but I have ordered all the trim as air ducts and grills new. Price on this was like 300Euros. Then I bought the hood new costing 1500 Euros here in Norway :thumbsdown:

Soon going to the paintshop for it's lambo colour

 

[Clubber]

This will look stunnig in the end. Especially if you combine the look with black wheels and lambo orange calipers,

Some very serious top quality items you have, pleasure to see them.

The Z have got it's dark grey Lamborghini colour. I'm very pleased with the colour against red

All small pieces like mirror cover and sideskirts will get som paint tomorrow, then it's my job to mount all parts back on the Z again. Looking forward too see it finished with all Z4M parts mounted

That's a really good colour, looks better than on the M5!

Hi. Should look amazing when done. Grey was the other colour I was considering when painting mine. Reckon it should show the lines of the Z really well. Nice to have something more individual.

 

[Marlon]

Thats a great looking colour, can't wait to see it all reassembled and in the daylight

 

[aquazi]

Love that colour... Reminds me of femmeT's supercharged alpina...

Going to be a seriously awesome motor when complete.

I think it will look great. That colour of yours is really nice. Like the M3 style exhaust also

Thanks, femmeT's Alpina was also an Lamborghini colour. But the colour is kind of different. Mine looks like a non metallic paint

 

[bmwZ]

Teaser with Aero side skirts and wheels mounted

 

[lux]

Ooooh that's gonna look good

New brakes

Nice brakes
I have exactly the same set in the front.
I also adapted the phoenix yellow rear bmw performance calipers to match te rear.

 

[bmwZ]

I have a set of those on my car, and also made the rear calipers fit.

Front:


Rear:



Rear was a lot of work to make fit.
The front was a plug&play kit (ecs tuning), for the rear getting a larger diameter disc fit with parking brake&all is difficult.
But it works like a charm now.

I know :wink:

Really great work to make them work at the rear as well.

I will paint mine red, so they match my interior

 

[GuidoK]

are you going to powerdercoat them?

If you're going to paint them anyway you can decide if you want to keep the added weights on the calipers (the square blocks on top and bottom on the front calipers).

They're there (probably) to stop the caliper from juddering or so, so a balance or resonance feature.

But I don't know if they're necessary. Ive seen them on some ferraris and other cars too, but most do without.

The contact surface between the caliper and added weight is not painted, so you have to decide before you paint.

You could also go for blue, that seems (somewhat) the current bmw brake caliper colour now. (although I saw phoenix yellow (or golden) calipers on a new M4 with optional ceramic brake kit last week in bmw welt in munich)

Those new bmw carbon ceramic brakes would also make a great upgrade...
have some fun and look up the prices of the seperate parts :lol:

 

[bmwZ]

No, I don't want to powdercoat them. They getting a better finish with normal proffesional respray.

I did not know that they where possible to remove :!:

Maby I have to try without. Save some weight and possibly a nicer look

Thanks for info
