My Z4's evolution (Cruise Control)
- Thread starter ESP
- Start date
Nice looking car looks realy good i completely get what you say about it being affordable to run. If i had use mine every day i might not have got a 3.0l 
.
Ditch the //M Badge. It will get embracing at the lights.

ESP said:Hahahahaha I know its not to everyones approval,
but you lot are meant to be the experts! Its a 'Z4 Msport' not trying to fool you thats its a ZM (minus the 4) lol.
It says M on the wheel's (current and original) it says M on the Steering wheel, so it now got M on the boot (but not on the wings)
its staying anyway so MOCK away lol
good man, did the same :evil:
hmmm... well
due to popular opinion the M-Badge has now been removed
but replaced with a M Number Plate surround (i hope this is more acceptable)?
I finally got around to fitting the new Halfords 90% brighter headlight bulbs which was a bit of a fiddly job but there AMAZBALLS! Almost 90% brighter than standard i would say lol
I have also tried my hand at a little Carbon Wrap on the gear shift surround,
and finally after waiting for a month for this to arrive from Germany i have just fitted my new BMW 1 Series 'illuminated' gear nob 8)
Before (nasty cheap tall plastic thing)

Not sure I'm keen on the number plate surround either. The car isn't powered by BMW M-Power.
Your paintwork looks fabulous though. A real credit to you

)This is something thats been nagging me for ages and finally iv got around to it.
The standard 2.0lt Z4 brakes perform well BUT for vanity reasons i wanted to change them, especially since fitting the ZM wheel's last Summer.
Before
I found a guy on ebay selling a pair of BMW 3.0lt front callipers with carriers and snapped them up for £70. He assured me they where ready to bolt on and had only done 40k miles, i already knew id rebuild them, but when they arrived and sound dead spiders and cobwebs in them so i guessed maybe they had only been on a car that had done 40K but they must have been on a shelf for 2 years, lol!
So i too them apart, wire brushed them down all over, removed the piston and the seals, washed them in Washing up liquid, left them to dry and then sprayed them with silver Halfords calliper paint and left them to dry over night.
I also found these bad boys on ebay for £100 delivered.
Last night i started removing the drivers side and finished that, and then finished the whole job of this afternoon.
Bosh! Job done, im really chuffed, to me it makes such a big visual difference
Excuse the front bumper damage, some C*@t did that in a car park and drove off, thats my next job to sort.

Just bough my new shoes
Pair of 265/35/18 FALKEN ZE914 on the rears, fitted by my friends at R-tech in StAlbans (owned by former RipSpeed owners). If you near north London I highly recommend these guys, they price matched backcircles.com plus I got a Espresso and some cake "Winner"
And finally got round to polishing & waxing (half) of the car. It's very satisfying doing it by hand, but if I'm honest I'm looking to buy a electric polisher now, because life's to short to hand polish when owning a Black Roadster

How long had you been sitting on the //M rear bumper? Mine had been in the conservatory driving the woman crazy since January!
I wasn't going to fit it until the day of the exhaust but I got too excited and put it on. Woman is happier now, win win!
