Z4MC RussRamz's pics

Greetings all,

I finally had the opportunity to clean up the mini-beast over the weekend with a break in the local weather. Although you cannot see it, my first couple mods are already complete. I stripped the Continentals off and replaced with some Goodyear F1 all-seasons. Since this will be my daily driver/track car, I will mount some Michelin PSC's to my incoming wheels from TCKline. The other mod is the removal of the charcoal filter from the airbox which took all of ten minutes.

She's a beauty! Always loved the black/red combo. Especially love photoshoots done at airfields.

I guess you plan on bringing the car to the U.S.... otherwise you would have gotten an Euro version?

The car will become a 'Euro' version. I am installing a Euro exhaust manifold and having race cats installed. I still haven't decided to change the stock rear silencers, but that will be dependent upon how much louder the car is with the euro headers and high-flow cats. I will also replace the front and rear bumber covers which will eliminate the reflectors at both ends.

As for the runway--I work at this field and although it was closed, if I blew a tire and wiped out a bunch of lights, it would be worse on my career if I blew a tire on the autobahn and wiped out another car. The risk vs. reward just isn't there in my book

The car looks great! April can't get here soon enough for me. Thats when I will pick up my M and get to enjoy the cloudy skies of Germany, for a couple weeks anyway. Are you planning on retiring and staying in Germany?

See, the red on the M6 I could have lived with - it's a bit more muted. I like the look of the Imola interior, but I wasn't sure I'd like it day-in day-out. I'm thinking I might have the interior re-done in Cinnamon down the line - a BMW M color, goes well with Sapphire Black, a little different but not as in-your-face.

I like the red, but yes I agree about the cinamon interior. I will eventually lose the red with a change to a set of carbon fiber seats, but the door trim will have to be replaced to either black leather or removed altogether.

Sorry guys, I'm not going to get too detailed on a public forum.

As for the wheels, the OEM will be my daily driver wheels. I plan for a set of TCKline wheels with some Michelin PSC rubber for my track days. I am extremely anti-bling and anything that doesn't add performance is out of the question. I'm not really concerned with looks, but IMHO, the TCKline wheels look great.
