Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Hi All,
This is my new car below, and some of my Coupé M Sport also..
Lend me your thoughts and suggestions. Will be removing the amber reflectors in the headlights soon enough, and putting clear side repeators. Hope to get clear rear lights as some point as well!

Opps!!....very sorry Depends on the quality of the stainless.Wolverine_1999 wrote:The wheels aren't Cruize actually, because they have the cheap polished rim
They are RS-JK5 will stainless steel rim so no flaking/discolouring from the effects of the weather. They are single, not split
So if they are one piece are they all s/steel or alloy with a s/steel trim

The Devil Riviera have a stainless steel rim as well. I did my homework when looking for a set like the rs-jk5sJonttt wrote:Tim, assuming these are one piece ? ask questions about the polished lip. If they are just "plated" they are likely to "flake"/bubble especially with the wide lips that lends itself to water siting on it

Just chillin'
Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Great pics, the Zed is looking fab and looks much better slightly lowered.
How are the alloys holding up any corrosion issues on the lips? have they had any winter use? I ended up with the Schnitzer Type 3s in the end but I'm just looking at maybe getting a set of the RS alloys for winter with some winter tyres but can't decide on rim width. I might just go with 8x18s all round rather than having a staggered setup with 225/40 tyres.
Cheers,
Tim.

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Hi Tim. The alloys are doing well. They are stainless steel rather than polished so have much longer durability. They are the 18x8 + 18x9 setup.TitanTim wrote:Great pics, the Zed is looking fab and looks much better slightly lowered.

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Cheers for getting back, have ordered a set of 8x18s, looking forward to getting them and fitting the all weather tyres and getting them on the Zed hopefully sorted for winterWolverine_1999 wrote:Hi Tim.

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
I like the rear AC splitter and combined with the rieger front splitter it evens up both ends nicely. I wouldn't mind an AC one for mine and seeing yours now it has convinced me to find one. The black grilles look great as well, that's one seriously nice looking zed with the mods you have done.

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Super cool zed!
I like the new rims. Where did you get acs rear spoiler?
It is hard to find even in Germany
Ps. What was the reason going for halo projectros?
Gratz on the car!

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Wolverine, I've tried pm'ing you but haven't heard back from you. A couple of weeks ago you were going to check on postage from Germany to Scotland for your old wheels.......have you reconsidered the sale ?
If you can let me know so that I can pursue elsewhere please.

Great to see another Hell Red Z3 especially as fantastic looking as this! I might be biased though!

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Both cars look amazing. But I prefer clear side markers and repeaters to tinted on red z3s.
Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Oh I'm actually the opposite. I think the tinted marker lights tie in with the black door handle and roof ultimately.deni2s wrote:Both cars look amazing. But I prefer clear side markers and repeaters to tinted on red z3s.
Both stunning cars though.

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Funny enough, I must get rid of the tinted ones as they do not have "E" approved markings
But I'm sure the white ones will look just as good Those ACS wheels are stunning!
Halo's were acquired for LHD TÜV.. I don't see paying €600 for LHD ones a pop But I have to say the quality of light is much better on the projector halos also...so I will probably stick with them. The ACS rear splitter was acquired directly from ACS after I e-mailed them asking if they had any left It was the last one they had for €200...

Re: Z3 "Hell" Red 2.0 6 Cylinder
Cheers Wolverine - I agree the ACS wheels work well.
Your car looks fantastic with the ACS touches and the Z4 split rims. I notice you have Z3M mirrors like me - they're a great aesthetic mod.
