New old Z4

Been a fan of BMW's for a few years now ever since a good friend saved my soul from the eternal damnation that was modifying pickup trucks. I started 6 years ago with an e30 318is that I newbishly crashed. After a few rusted out penance e30's, 2 relationships, lots of long days in the garage and thousands of dollars later I ended up with the current crop. Some money has been rerouted from what would have been mods into drivers ed, trackdays, and some autocross sessions in the mix, I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Stock! No mods, just maintenance. Performed service 2 recently and replaced some crunched up front fender liner bits. Ordered 215/45 and 245/40 Michelin X-Ice3 for winter, will likely look for a summer wheel set in the spring.

Thanks for the welcome guys, so far this board seems quite pleasant even though you're all living on the wrong side of the ocean...


I have a few plans coming up but no idea what order to do it all in, the Z is in need of new brakes and the rear is a touch loose. I thought it was tire sidewall but a BMW tech friend of mine said RTAB's so they will be getting replaced with the "upgraded" oem rubber set. Also need to budget (somehow!) for new wheels and tires for the spring. I was thinking EC7 staggered, what do you guys think?

The e30 is due for a head rebuild after the valve stem seals started to leak. The parts are on hand but I have not had time or funds to pull the head and do the actual labour so for the time being I'm smoking people out constantly.
