I know of the bloke who has the white Z4M and he would prob be pretty keen to get his hands on the video footage that you got. His car has got a GruppeM CF air intake and a custom H&S exhaust, hence the sounds.

If you need a hand sourcing the CSLs for your car let me know as well.

We thought the CF roof was a vinal wrap, but it wasn't... looked very very nice out there.

135i, CSL, RS4... So many choices ! :rolleyes:

Winton, I'll upload it to YouTube later and post the link. It's carrying some serious speed through the corners and the noise is loud. It's pretty good quality and at 30fps but just a little shaky because I used my Digital Camera, not a Camcorder.

I'll definately have a look into the exhaust and the alloys. My Dad has got to OK it though first because he'll be paying for it. How much are the alloys going to set me back? The CF roof looked great, I also thought it was a vinyl wrap. That must have been an expensive addition.

Biscuits, i've drove both the CSL and the 135i on normal road and on track. The CSL is by far the better car on the track. And it'll hold its value better aswell, sounds and goes better. And IMO looks better, BETTER I SAY!!!!!+++ But I haven't really got a bad thing to say about the 135i either, it's more manageable and forgiving for everyday driving than the CSL. So i'd say it's just which one you'd prefer.

Those pictures are good too, where did you get them from, a photographer or did a friend take them? I'd like to try and get my hands on some pictures of our cars if I can.

Think a CSL will be the one I go for, just need to sell my 535d first.

Email him your vehicle make, model and reg plate and the day you were there and he can have a look for you. He is very good, knowing where the good spots are to get close up shots.

Alloys are are between a grand and 1200 quid depending on whereabouts you source them from.

As for the CF roof panel, it does look fantastic - seem to recall it was about 680 quid which I thought was quite reasonable for what is a good mod. He has spent a fair old amount on the Z4MC - it's also got Recaros and full race harnesses inside. He's mental...

I emailed that Jochen guy on Thursday and still no reply....maybe he's camping out on one of the corners for the weekend.

The alloys seem quite a reasonable price considering they're CSL wheels, was expecting them to be double that at least. And was expecting double for the roof. Had a look at the exhaust and that's also a very good price considering how good it sounded, not to mention giving you a few extra BHP.

Getting Recaro's in a Z4M just seems ludicrous, the standard seats are harsh enough, and hug you in enough.

I'm putting those videos on YouTube when I get home tonight. I'll post the link here this evening.
