hi, i was about to trade in my convertible 03 z4 2.5i for a 335ci or a GTI 2010 but changed my mind and said f**k it, ill keep the car and throw some money on it.
its my first car and i had it for almost 2 years, i never modded any car and i would like to hear some excellent suggestions.
the previous owner abused the car and now that i have it, im looking to do a total make over.
my hood emblem is faded, im gonna replace it.
the third brake light on the trunk is cracked open at both side ends. i saw a white third brake and a red one ? is there any different between them ? which one fits a silver z4 ?
the front bumper is damaged at the bottom. i need a new one, any suggestions ? im not excited about the casual front bumper my z4 has. its fine but i want something more edgy and exotic.
my rims have curb damage, yup....i need 4 new rims. theres so many out there its hard to pick one then regret it later. anything recommended ?
i need the signature of any bmw car !!! i need angel eyes ! ( or devil eyes/the red version of angel eyes) i dont know if all brands are the same just different names ? any input and recommendations ? my head lights are not damaged though.
a nice spoiler for the trunk. plenty of choices too, i dont want anything weird. i dont think i have ever seen a z4 with a spoiler actually...
im gonna replace the factory stereo with something nice with a screen. i know good friends who can get me this for good price.
LED light inside the grill ? just wondering if it would look nice...anyone tried it ? maybe blue light in the grill would look great on a silver z4 ?
anything else you would recommend to be changed ?

one thing to keep in mind if you gonna recommend an online shop is i live in south USA.

on a side note: anyone has anything to say about the 335ci bmw 2007 and vw GTI 2010 ?

Where to start and how much do you want to spend?
You can both a white 3rd Brake Light and a red to fit the E85, the white one is cheaper if IRC and you should be able to get one from here http://www.roadstersolutions.com/page52.html

As for wheels there are a couple of wheel threads with pictures and loads of options or just get your ones refurbed.

As for external appearance the current trend is for Aero Skirts but they are apparantly getting in short supply, again there are a couple of threads with before and after pictures.

Finally as for the front end there are some aftermarket headlights out there which come with angel eyes or you will have to adopt the cut and shut method as others have done. http://www.andysautosport.com/bmw/2003_2005_z4/lights/headlights/spyder_auto/

With reagrds the front bumper realistically you have 3 options a Facelift Bumper, the Aero Kit Bumper or the M Bumper.
 
Have a look at this site http://modgarage.net/project/alpina, especially the headlights. I also had mine upgraded and de-gingered by Eric at Terkarbon, fantastic job - you can see the headlights on mine here:

Get some 108's to replace your wheels. The best z4 wheels in my opinion :)

Good decision to spend some money on the Z though, they are great cars.
 
Unfortunately red angels / lights on the front are illegal - but yes, angels do add a very agressive look to the car
 
Could go for a rear aero spoiler. Not too blingy and suits the lines of the car, especially if you manage to get some aeroskirts. Maybe an M front spoiler. Wheel wise I dont think you can beat ellipsoids unless you go the CSL route. Or my current US made options, staggered Velocity VMR710s fitted with Eagle F1 boots all round. Interior wise a ZHP gearknob or Storm Motorworks 500g unit in titanium plating with maybe a matching handbrake.

Glad you saw sense and kept the Zed :thumbsup:

i was thinking of an M-front bumper but i just noticed it does not go with fog lights. im thinking facelift with the horizontal foglights(or are those just day running lights? )
and i was thinking of these rims....

i cant find a good selection of front bumpers. and show me a link of what zhp gearknob or storm motorworks look like.
 
Quite like the first wheels you listed with the copper rim line.
This is the ZHP...
