So what next?

I adore my Z4 since taking delivery just before Christmas but after coming from a Cooper S I want to get stuck into some
Modifications just to make him more unique in my eyes. I like to add tasteful subtle styling mods inside and out and would love to know what you guys have done to your Z4.

So far I have replaced the ariel with a nice shorter version and plan to cover the roll bars in some 3D Carbon Vynil.
Next up is a gloss black grill. I\'ve seen the car on shells for the mirrors but don\'t know if there going to be a bit much.

Any ideas?

Covering plastic interior pieces in Alcantara as well as rear deck and interior window frame. Looks phenomenal. Covered the rear peace of the roll bar covers in carbon fiber and the front in Alcantara.

Seeing as your in Belfast like me, get along to a local BMW meet. Would like to see some of the mods you have suggested.

I'm on my 2nd E89 from a 23i to a 35is.

Cheers Andy.

Get the M sport bumper, painted side markers, drop, and wheels to your liking as minimums.

We have several nice mods to the car, but my favorite on pure aesthetics is the M Sport/iS front bumper for our 35i - killer aggressive.

Thanks Andy. I'll join and have a look around.

What's a Smarttop?

Have to check out the M bumper too!

Thanks everyone for the response.

Here is what I did so far.
1. Changed my rims and RFT. Installed the spoke 313 BMW Performance with Good year F1 A 2
2. Dropped the car with the KW V3
3. ESS Tuning Stage 2
4. LED angel eyes.

On order:
1. GT Performance RHD pedals.
2. ///M door sills
3. ///M stitches steering wheel wrapping

Remaining on the list:
1. Intercooler
2. M-Tech bumpers and 3D lips and side skirts
3. Down pipes
3 H&R sway bars.

And I guess I am done! (???) :-)

Tell me about it, but worth every penny.. The car is just metamorphosing into a beauty (not that it was a beast by any means)
