My E89 Z4 35i ESS, Dynoed

Looking good so far. 8)

I need to get some paintwork bits done to mine as I have a few chips appearing now! Especially on the rear of the side skirts!

Yes, the exhaust sound after ESS flash got really different :D I have allready measured the original X6 tips, they are too big for an nice fit in our bumper. Maby the Akra tips is smaller, but I doubt it.

bmwZ these are the ones for the X6 I'm going to get in contact with them here in the UK and see if they have any in a smaller diameter and without the sleeves.

Like the look so far, I'll also stay tuned to this. I do hope your roads are better over there though, as 19" wheels can be harsh here, so god knows what 20" would feel like...

wow.. just wow

looks great already cant wait to see what you do with it.

I thought the reason you had a 2.2 before was due to the tax in Norway?

Isnt this 3.0 killing you in maintenance?

Thanks :thumbsup:
Yes, here in Norway they tax cars after engine size, so this time I took the costs of buying the bigger engine :D . A new 35i was in 2009 costing £40 000 more than a 23i with same equipment :cry:
So I had to give £25 000 more for my used 35i than a used 23i. The maintenance is approx the same here in Norway.

Nice ones, but you should look for some one that fits X5.

I had runflat tires on my 19" 296, they was harsher than my 20" non runflat tires :D
 
I am looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with your E89. Your E85 roadster was pretty much the nicest roadster I've ever seen... :thumbsup:
 
Thanks again :D
And then the 35is exhaust is mounted. It sound louder in general, but not too loud. So very happy so far :D Thinking of deleting rear cats for a little raspier soundtrack and approx 10whp. Milltek have straight pipes for doing this :)

Finally some updates on my E89 :D
I have spent some time mounting some nice new parts. M-front bumper with 35is silver wings, M steeringwheel, H&R lowering springs, BMW X5 35i exhaust tips and change of leather in the seat.

And then some pics of changing the leather in the seat. I wanted to change it because of the discolored leather cushion :(

A different approach to your E85, a lot more subtle, less race-like - but I like it lots... :thumbsup:

Yes, this will be more classy/sporty not race-like as you called my old E85 :) Thanks :thumbsup:
 
Looking fantastic - lowering it has really given it a 'welded to the road' look :thumbsup:

Who's is the Ferrari ? Or are you trying to encourage the two of them to mate ? :lol:
