My 2006 Z4 3.0Si Supercharged, new updates

[bmwZ]

This is up there with debsesd's zed in my eyes. This just looks class and plain evil, a modern day spin on the Z4 e86!!

That is nice to see you compere mine to debsesd's. His Z is so perfect. Thanks

 

[bmwZ]

How comes you have grey/beige coloured sunvisors? Mine are black and I thought all Z4's had the same, apart from the ones with extended leather.

On roadsters all are black. I think it is a option to have black headliner on a coupe.
I have extended leather..

 

[bmwZ]

Presumably it's an SE as they had the paler headlining and (I guess) sunvisors to match?

This is a german imported car, so there is nothing that is called SE. This is only for UK I think!

 

[bmwZ]

Wish I had the money, time and skill to do any of this. Be great to see a few Zeds in different rare colours together too.

That had been great to take a shoot with special Z4s. Then I have to travel to germany or UK. It's only like 15 Z4 Coupes in Norway!!!

My supercharger build are closer than ever. I planned to mount the supercharger by myself and get som help with the tune from my friend, that have an tuning garage with dyno.

But today I got a call from ESS, they was wondering if they could develope and install my E90 3 series kit on my car for very little money.

Of course I said yes, and next week it goes to the ESS HQ here in Norway for the build. This will be the first time they install the N52 kit in a Z4. They will also do dyno runs before and after.

Really looking forward to this

Sounds like a great project. Something about you says you like BMWs, especially Zeds, can't quite put my finger on it. :?

Finally some decents Pictures of the Z

This is how it looks at this stage of modding it, more to come

The colour it`s a little bit darker at the pics than in real life :|



When I got it five months ago

Superb. 8)

 

[bmwZ]

Great to hear

Bought me some small, but nice parts

My Z looks like an Z4M now, but I don`t want the M badges. So have sold the M steering wheel trim to StigJ on this forum. Then bought me some Individual parts

A little mod to the ZHP gear knob :roll:

 

[NeilP]

Wow! I didn't know you could get all the BMW individual trim still!

 

[jamesbond]

looking good

 

[srhutch]

A great car and worthy of the individual badging

 

[si-forks]

Love the individual badging promise I won't copy it

 

[bmwZ]

Thanks, I think it is ok to use the Individual badges over the M badges

I will get my newly painted brakes back from the paintshop tomorrow as well. Looking forward to get them fitted to the Z

Will they be red ?

 

[bmwZ]

Yes, also a Lamborghini colour. Called Rosso Mars. A three stage pearl paintjob

I love the attention to detail, but enough with the aesthetics - they can be sorted after the Supercharger - get on it!!

Haha... Yes, that is thrue... Will take the Z4 to ESS HQ tomorrow. They want to keep the car for a week. A lot of small adjustments have to be done to make the Z4 N52 Kit. I have also asked for Stage 1+ that gives a little more boost and higher fuel pressure

 

[bmwZ]

A teaser of the brakes, logos looks white, but they really are silvergrey.

 

[Ed Doe]

Excellent news - I'm watching progress closely! What power/torque figures are they expecting? Does the kit utilise stock engine management or aftermarket?

Those brakes look mega

I think they expect 280+ hp at the wheels. Not sure about the torque. You will se before and after dyno for my car. They have their own software based on stock parameters.
