ALPINE WHITE 2014 z4 35isdrive With lots of Mods

I bought my Z4 brand new about 2 months ago. It is a 35isdrive fully loaded with M sport package. So far I am loving it. I just hit 1200 miles in it so I am finally past break in period. This is my daily driver, but I am hoping to take it to a few track days next year. This is going to be my progress thread and I will update as work is done on the car.


Mods so far are:

Evolution Racewerks Charge Pipe
Afe Intake
HKS Blow Off Vale
BMS Oil Catch Can
18" M4 513M staggered wheels
Pirelli P-Zero 225/40/18 Front 275/35/18 Rear
Gloss Black Grill
Gloss Black Side Indicators
IND Color matched side reflectors
Shorty Antenna
Brembo Big Brake Kit
Stoptec Rotors
Dinan Stage 2 Tune
Wagner 5'' Stepped FMIC



Future Mods:
3D Design Front Lip
3D Design Rear Diffuser
Eibach Springs

Looks great! I like what you've done.

Are you sure the Dinan oil cooler will fit the E89 Z4 with M Sport bumper? Their website says:

Quote:
Special Note: 2009 & 2010 models only. Does not fit M-Technic bumper. For cars with factory oil cooler only.

THANKS! Yes after talking with Scott, (he is my local rep) he talked with the tec department and they have been able to fit it with some slight modifications. Same with the frontmount. I will know for sure when I go to have it done at the end of the month. I am going to dyno the car afterwards to see what the gains are at the wheels.

Okay, cool! Just didn't want you to run into any surprises. Let us know how it goes. If the Dinan oil cooler fits, I might just get that myself.

nice work! I like your mod list. My guess is you will start to be traction limited with those tires once you get the power adders.

I am already loosing some traction on take off. I have been looking at some LSD and also going down to 18" wheels with 305 tires to help out.

Just a quick update. I had to reschedule my appointment for the Dinan upgrades, Knee surgery has me on house rest still.. Also updated the current Mods list. It looks like it might be spring before I can make it to the Dyno to get some numbers.

New wheels setup is on the car. Got my hands on some M4 513M wheels and had them powdercoated gloss black and wrapped in Pirelli rubber. Also added the color matched side reflectors. The Dinan tune is set for this Friday at BMW of Towson.

No I got them off of here. I lucked out and found a guy that ordered his car and already had a set of aftermarket he was going to put on. So as soon as his car came in he took them off and shipped them to me.
