hi everybody.

i've been browsing the forum for a couple weeks now, a few days before i decided on buying a z4. i was initially set on buying a 2.0 but opted for the 2.5 due to the similar fuel economy but better performance. my z4 is a standard 2.5, black with black leather interior, heated/ manual seats and 108 alloys.... other than that, it is just like any other lol

i've read quite a bit and learnt a lot about it over the past few weeks and the information has been invaluable and answered quite a few of my questions. i bought it mainly as a weekend/ sunny day car and as such it has seen about 100 miles since the day i bought it a couple of weeks ago. it is a nice ride but the run flats are shockingly poor as such my first change is a set of 19's with premium tyres, i feel the 18's dont fill the arches as much as i like my cars to. i'm never going to drive it in anger so the performance trade off for bigger wheels will not bother me but its nice to have a bit more power on tap than the 2.0 which i read on here can have a flat spot when accelerating sometimes. other modifications to consider will be clear quads and indicators and thats about it.

i'll get some pictures up as soon as i have changed the alloys which should be next week all going well. keep up the good work :poke: :D
 
cheers guys

Hi and welcome to the Forum. :thumbsup:

But........how can you bear to part with your 108's ??????? :cry:

well in my defence, they are curbed and need a good refurb, not to mention the run flats and i'm confident that the 19's will look a lot better..... i'm quite good at visualising the finished product :D

edit: your sig just made me realise i had my 2.5 badges removed, it has aftermarket xenons fitted and it has a stubby aerial too :evil:

Sounds like a nice car you have there, mate :thumbsup: :lol:
 
Hi and Welcome!

I recently swapped my perfect (factory replaced 3 months ago) 108's for some 19's VMR 710's... look much nicer and drive better without the RFT's.
 
thanks for the warm welcome guys.

i've just bought these 19inch ac schnitzer replica wheels. cant wait to get them on the car when they are delivered on monday
