New guy from Texas with many questions to follow.

Hello, everyone

I'm what you would call the second driver of the vehicle, yet I find myself doing all of the maintenance on it. :roll:

Anyways, the ride is a 2003 Z4 3.0i.
She's been giving me some concerns as of lately. I noticed a small spot of oil on the driveway and the (apparently very common) radio speakers not working. I checked the amp for a blown fuse but it was fine. That thing is quite expensive.

I completed the first change today by changing out the old, faded, leaking silver housing (it was the passenger side really) headlights, to black housing headlights. The ballast is bad on it. I tried swapping the bulbs but the same side persists so that's the conclusion.

Anyways, I hope you guys can lend me your knowledge for the future projects.

Thank you. I figured everyone enjoys photos and might as well introduce the little lady.

Black , red , elipsoids faultless combo welcome

Lol. Thanks. It's definitely a killer look to start. I just think it needs spacers to get it closer to flush. Haven't measured yet to see how many mm it will take. Still have to convince the lady to see if she would be ok with it. Then again, what she doesn't recognize, won't hurt her.

Welcome buddy! There's a wealth of knowledge on here and if in doubt ask!

Also with spacers, there's a host of threads. But generally people go with 10 or 15mm fronts and 20mm rears.

Welcome to the forum. Great photo to kick things off
I'm running 20mm rear and 15mm front - it really improves the stance imo

Welcome!

15mm front & 20mm rear works well on 107 type wheels (same as mine)

Welcome and a great photo

 

[Le_Batkid]

Sounds like 15mm front and 20 mm rear is going to be the ticket then.

I will search for the calendar post.

Thanks, guys.
