Thats a good price from a dealer!

Did you phone any others i had some quotes upto 1k

AJL

I looked at a Estoril when i bought a Roadster with W321 BHP number plate maybe that was it!

AJL

You can get a roof rack from BMW for the coupe!

No fog lights are fitted the only ones you can get are from Hamann i think but then you have no air flow through the brake ducts

You will be fine without fogs!

AJL

The 3L Z4 is a capable car, i had a play with one recently and there was only one winner

My dealer also said the new Z4M coupe would wipe the floor with my S54 MC i dont believe it to be honest and would be close.

That was my photoshop thought i would make it a bit more interesting!!

AJL

You should do it like this!

AJL

Email ben@chromeline.com he will sort it out for you!

AJL

I stand corrected!

All the ones i have seen on ebay.com by cosmo say they do not fit, but looks like they offer the option.

Cosmo do not fit the S54 as far as i know...

AJL

Might have to get one of those!

This whole offset thing confuses me! Are these any good for a M: Front: 2 Pieces 8.5 of JX15H2 ET30 with Dunlop tires 225/40 ZR18 Back: 2 Pieces of 9,5JX18H2 ET34 with Dunlop tires 255/35ZR18 :oops: Will fit easy, you'll need a spacer though for the rears. Thanks any idea what size spacers i would ...

Why dont you just get a gruppe M replica? Suited for a e36 with the same engine if you can..

I have put a deposit down on my S54 coupe now!

AJL

Cheers Gazza i thought this might be the case the car has only done 28k too and feels almost new.

AJL

Do any owners of S54 find the clutch quite stiff compared to S50?
Test drove one today and it was quite stiff compared to my old one wondered if this was normal.

AJL

His car had Eissenman exhausts the where

new your looking at 750.

AJL

Thanks guys all these diff failures are putting me right off!

AJL

Going to see another M tomorrow of the coupe variant and i just wondered what sort of inspections people do on the diff?

Remove boot carpet and have a look for cracks etc, but underneath what do you look for?

Any other tips would be appreciated!

I take it you have seen the black S54 Z3M on Autotrader?

Is that the Roadster?

AJL

Not as yet, but now i have the money i will start searching a bit harder.

As they are so rare i think i may have to be patient on this one!

AJL

Another one of those threads!

Just seen my beloved M drive off into the distance

Onwards and upwards hey S54 coupe here i come! I will not be leaving the M family!

AJL

where did u advertise? ive had it on piston heads, ebay but with pointless offers etc autotrader has been rubbish in the past for me... and seems a little pricey Really dont understand why no one seems to want them their awesome!! Autotrader worked for me dude. Just stick it on the Web for £16 for ...

AJL

I thought as much.. This car was shipped from malta, straight to the uk. Complete UK spec, it doesnt bother me so much but feel it would be difficult to re sell or even trade. Also ive heard the insurance is steeper.. Not having much luck on the sale so thinking of a swap instead?? not keen on the ...

AJL

I would say that is a S50 to me..

AJL

Has no service history for the last 32K iirc

AJL

The gruppe M should Roar, i had one on my old 328 vert and the sound was great.. The gruppe M is a good choice for a non M car..

The strut makes a huge difference and makes the whole car fell alot tighter you will be pleased!

AJL

What engine have you got mate?

I have tightened the "hooks up" and have ordered 3 new rubber seals on the passenger side as they are all shagged!

Khushy

How much are the new seals mate?

AJL

Ummm thanks will try that the rain at the moment is a real test for leaks!

AJL

Looks spot on!

I too have been very intrested in changing my steering wheel.

I noticed that your blue/black leather combo is done in the opposite way to the usual, looks good!

AJL

After the recent rain i have noticed a slight drip coming through on the drivers side where the roof meets the windscreen in the corner.. On closer inspection i noticed that i can just see some daylight,where as on the passengers side i cant.. I thought it could be that the handle is not pulling the...

AJL

Alex.... Bushes should be covered if the car is low mileage. If it's done 60k + then that could be considered wear and tear. I got my 323i aircon tested and regassed for £60. I can get you the details if you're interested. The very common seat movement problem is considered 'trim' and so not covere...

AJL

After my inspection 1 at the dealers :shock: i got a list of things that needed changing one of the things they mentioned was front bushes, they said these where no covered by EW?? But i am unsure as have read some peoples have been changed.. Also my aircon needs a regas they want £200+ for a regas,...

Looked at CSL items but suede will look a tad odd with my interior combo

I dont really like the M steering wheel i find it a bit big and clumsy!

Just wondered what alternatives there are? i want something classy but just a little smaller and still have the airbag function..

have looked around the net but cant really find anything that grabs my attention!

AJL

Looks very good, might try some i think..

AJL

Just some extra shine!

Dont want to take the laquer off as they will corrode too easily!

I wax may car every couple of weeks using harly wax or zymol, in between washing i use zymol detailing spray and it comes up like this:
