Thought it was time to show my Z4, I've had it for a couple of months and really enjoy the complete package.
It does still however have the Bridgestone Run flats and has uprated springs along with the front and rear bushes polybushed, including front and rear anti roll bar bushes. A very firm ride but the handle is very good.

Love these, a friend has one with the Nurburgring sticker on the back too funny enough. They go like stink and look fabulous. Great 2 seater GT car.

Nice. Similar to my old Z4MC.

Are you going to blacken the wheels or keep them standard?

I would also try it without the run flats when you're due to change them.

Yes I will probably go non run flats but the current tyres are still as new so a few miles to go yet! To be honest I'm not finding the RF tyres much of a problem just the odd spot of tram lining, they just seem to go well with the suspension set up. The N52 straight 6 engines are fantastic units (262 bhp) and always seem willing and pull from low down and rev cleanly all the way to the red line.
I have done the induction 'sound generator' mod, a very clever device that pipes induction sound into the cabin, which compliments the performance perfectly.

I wouldn't say its a very clever device, its a bit of plastic tube with foam in it. After having the foam out for months in mine, I recently put it back in and much prefer the sound, especially as the car is used daily. I only realised how loud it was when I sat as a passenger in mine for a long journey.

Great looking coupe though, especially with the piano black interior and m sport seats.

Yes ok the device isn't clever as such but the 'effect' is desirable to some, I have currently both foam pieces removed and it only takes a couple of minutes to put it back to standard.
