Well, as the title states, I was wondering what people on this forum have changed on their cars after being infected by the Z4-itis (and still plan to do)?
:evil: WARNING :evil: do not read these posts if you do not want to be infected!
What was already modded when I bought the car:
- aero lip on rear bumper
- aero side skirts
- no badges on the side and the trunk
Here are my mods so far:
- angel eyes conversion
- stubby (Peugeot)
- painted calipers
- self-made airscoop
- CPU remap (+15bhp, better throttle response)
- spacers (15mm front and 20mm back)
- Gaptech roof module
- custom quad exhausts
- K&N filter (in original housing)
- metal interior inlays (the wooden ones made my eyes bleed)
- comfort light module
- OEM cruise control
My mods 2 come:
- eibachs, 35mm drop
- replace catalyst system by sportcats
- mid muffler delete
- Aero front bumper (as the car already has the other parts of the body kit)
- custom satnav (Garmin insert in the OEM pup-up monitor)
- 19 inch belini staggered set (8,5J wide front and 9,5J wide back) with non-RFT tyres
- non-RFT winter tires on current 108 rims
- led fog lights and xenon-look headlight bulbs
- footwell lights and puddle lights
- hardtop (but still in doubt on that one...)
...and God knows maybe more if I get inspired by following posts :roll:
So in the meantime I can add a few things to the list:
- FK springs (which I removed again, bad purchase)
- 19 inch CSL's
- led fog lights and HID's for the headlights
- aluminium pedals
- aluminium bottle holder (with courtesy of a happy monkey)
- metal handbrake and gearknob (another item made by the same happy monkey)
- metal radio knob (yup, same monkey again)
- black kidney grills
- metal door pins with BMW logo
- rear window baby sticker (very important mod!)
As for the mods 2 come, the list changed entirely, lol:
- different front bumper, not sure which one yet... The estilo-r version does appeal (but not the one with the ginormeous kidneys)
- front bumper splitter (also to protect the bumper a little)
- decent lowering (still hesitating between static and coilies, which are quite expensive)
- Machine Monkey strut braces (if he still makes those) in anodised black
- in time, a complete custom exhaust system, hoping for a real raspy racing sound
- air intakes for front brake cooling (DIY project already laying around)
- custom satnav (Garmin inserted in the OEM pup-up monitor, already have a few bits)
- led angel eyes (as 1 of the ccfl's already died)
- get the headlight lenses clear again (little foggy)
List may get longer thanks to other idea's I'll surely find on the forum... A supercharger is surely something that interests me, but unfortunately that's an MOT no-no in Belgium...
But first, there are some repairs to be done: dsc, traction control and oil indicator sensors all died... luckily not too expensive to repair
I also wonder when I will need to replace the bushes and stuff?? Read a lot on those but haven't had any remarks at MOT yet
