My E89 Z4 35i ESS, Dynoed
- Thread starter bmwZ
- Start date
After removing some parts last week, I have now sent them to be sprayed in a paintshop. The grills for the M bumper shall be Maserati grey after cutting the mesh away 
Then the front grills will be glossy black with chrome surroundings. The covers for the rollover bars shall be in car colour.
I bought a used rear M bumper with some painting problems. This one is also sent to be resprayed with some brand new 35is diffusers. The smallest diffuser will be Maserati grey as my brake calipers.
I have already done the front parts of the rollover covers in alcantara. Here is two pics that show original vs alcantara.
More pics will come when I have mounted those parts

Sae said:Wow, looks very sporting but classy, the 20s look at home, if BMW did an M Black series like amg I don't think it be far off this!
Thanks, I really hope BMW will make a Z4 with wide fenders as the AMG Black Series, but that will probably never happen. Its really great that you think my Z4 looks sporty and classy
I promised an update when my steering wheel was finished, so here it is
I got the last alcantara piece trimmed with beige stitching to match my interior. Also the gear gaiter was custom made in alcantara with beige stitching. So this is now a little different steering wheel that I am very satisfied with
Here`s the pics:
This is the original lower spoke of the M steering wheel.
I twisted off the original leather.
Then I glued on the new alcantara piece and then the M badge.
This is the result, but some bad quality pictures :| :

this car is looking amazing!
I really want to copy you with the breytons, ive loved those wheels since I saw them on a 3 series coupe a couple of years ago, but i dont think they would fit on my Z, none the less
great looking motor and keep it coming, Im following this build, just wish I could afford to do the same

I really like my wheels, but not everybody like them. It`s not the new CSL`s :wink: The wheels is really rare here in Norway, never seen them on another BMW.
