Z4 3.0i from Belgium - Now on 19" BBS LM's

[Fokko]

Hi All,

I already introduced myself in the newbies section of this forum, but I'll use this topic to update on my mods...
I bought it at the end of last year as replacement for my 2006 118d M-sports.
The car when I bought it:

1st mod:
removing all the foam from the sound generator. loud & proud!! :evil:

another vid, sprinting against my buddy in his 123d, which has been tuned.
just unreal how fast a 4-cylinder diesel can be nowadays.

next scheduled mods:

small license plate holder (without the BMW dealer advertising) -already fitted!
Eibach springs - ordered & received, will be fitted on June 11th
19" BBS LM reps - ordered, should arrive whithin 2 weeks
Mangowalk stubby antenna - ordered & shipped, not received yet.
White rear & side indicators + clear 3rd brakelight. - ordered today thru salesafter.eu

I will upload some new pics as soon as these updates are all fitted

Go for it......

 

[Fokko]

white indicators arrived today.
let's see if I can get them fitted tonight!

unfortunately some #$%@#$ hit my front bumper last week so I need to get some scratches repaired + resprayed.
when this is done I will also get the front license plate holder removed and use a sticker license plate instead.
Couldn't find an example of a Z4 but I think it looks nice and clean at the front. this E90 also has one. (not sure if it's 100% legal in Belgium but nobody seems to get a ticket for it...)

Actually it's one of my given names at birth :lol:
I was born in Friesland in the north of the Netherlands. over there it's a completely normal name like John or Michael in English speaking countries :wink:
You should've seen the look on the faces of the people I met in the US a few years ago when I introduced myself

 

[Dr Phibes]

:lol: I can imagine :roll:

 

[Fokko]

that's my dad :wink: visited my parents yesterday to have a look at their new X5 Xdrive40d

 

[Fokko]

found some time last weekend to give the car a good wash and take some pictures 8)
I absolutely love these wheels....

Sweet looking Zed Fokko. You should get it back in that car park you took the original photos in too. Great images/quality of light with them.

You've also inspired me to visit craigsplates.co.uk to sort out (and chance) a vinyl adhesive front numberplate

 

[Dr Phibes]

What are the Wheels Fokko ?

@inkey$: I agree, but the problem is I can't access that garage anymore because car's ride is too low. The Ramp at the entrance is so steep, the car will just get stuck in the middle :roll:
However pretty soon one of my friends will make a photoshoot of my car, he knows how to handle a camera pretty good 8)

@ Dr. Phibes: They're BBS Le Mans Replica's in 8,5x19" and 9,5x19: ET35 :wink:

@ Sandere85: bedankt voor de tip, zal me daar ook eens aanmelden
