Hi everybody, let me show you my Z.

Z4 2.2i 2004
Black Saphire
Facelifted with E86 tail lights and rear bumper (pdc system will arrive soon)
M front bumper (I now put on the spray nozzle covers)
Black mate grills
Type 224M wheels with CSC 3 tires (225-40R18 front and 255-35R18 rear) colour RAL 7012

Options:
cruise control
hand folding top

that's it...

Sorry for the dusty car, french weather is no as shiny as CA's.

Nice looking Z. Love your M wheels in that grey color

[esqu1re]

Nice retrofit.

[Eccentric]

Those rims.

[fercho]

dude looks nice!! hey how hard was to make the rear lights work?

[achi]

fantastic work!
i like the wheels as well

[ANUSTART]

Looks great! Gray wheels do look quite good. Never thought of that.

Not familiar with the "hand folded top." What is this?

[DarrenZ4]

Thanks everybody for your comments.

The grey colour of the wheels was a gamble... Daily car + silver wheels + Parisian weather = dust looking at the end of each week.. As I've not the time to dress the car each weekend, it was just impossible to keep the silver colour, and finaly the grey is quite awesome, even with some dust

Was just a matter of time, maybe 2 hours for the cabling between the lights.

I'm pretty sure you already know e85 rear lights arn't symmetrical but e86 are.. So that you need to add some wires between the right/left fog lights and the right/left back-up lights.

I've still an error: the orange bulb light on the instrument cluster is on and I still don't know why because my lights are OK...

my folded top isn't electro-hydraulic...

[nemex12]

thats cool as you should have like 100lbs less weight

[crfine88]

Very clean look, I like it

great details, I like the wheel color.

Looks great. The updated tail lights make a big difference. I used to have a 2003 3.0, and was always jealous of the new lights

The orange bulb lights is on because I don`t think you have the right resistance, the leds in the new taillights are 6v not 12v as the old lamps.... I have also done this mod

[DarrenZ4]

YOU ROCK!

Could you please explain to me the whole stuff about the resistance in PM ?

I'll do that asap cause the orange bulb light make me sick..!

Thx bmwZ
