New Z4 project

Looking foward to seeing the car in a couple of weeks on the run down to AC S's headquarters at Aachen whilst on the BMW car club factory trip :D 8)
 
A quick snap with the suspension fitted. A big improvement in compliance and dealing with bumps, but still skittish and imprecise steering which is down to the run-flat tyres.

The ACS splitter for the E89 looks amazing, hopefully you'll fit one of those :thumbsup: Is the car running a full damper and spring kit or just springs? As its a really conservative looking drop, it would be nice to see a flat aggressive profile on an ACS demo car.
 
This has our full RS suspension, adjustable for ride height, compression and rebound damping. We run them around 25mm lower than stock on the settings recommended by AC Schnitzer in Germany, we don't "slam" cars :)

Five pounds eh...

No I know, I had ACS suspension on my E92 in fact I still have the certificate from Manfred Wollgarten to state it had been tested on the Nurburgring :wink: Suspension performed well but looked like it could do with another 10mm or so.
 
Another view with suspension fitted..

and Sports Fenders fitted with Chromeline set. I really like these, but they are not to everyone's taste. What do you think?

That option is available to you, but wait til you see it with the wheels on ;)
 
I think the drop looks just right, and the chromeline set looks good too... Much better than the replacement side repeaters for the e85/86.

Do I spy a stubbier aerial too ? :? :thumbsup:
 
Quite like the side fins... I take it thats a full replacement wing?

Dread to think of the cost :o

Also is that a carbon front splitter that I spy :D

Looking good !!
 
The ride height looks perfect and suits the car
I am not a fan of the Side fins , to much going on in a small aera. I think the standard wing with the badges removed is hard to beat (IMO)
Also the front splitter used here I am not a fan of ,It hides the best looking part of the front M bumper and makes the car look odd as it is so deep and does not match the white side skirt lines. Again IMO.
 
Really like the chromeline set, looks very good, hmmmm wonder how that would look in DSB 8)
