Nice car, almost facelifted twin of mine

Next season I plan to replace my carline bumper with m bumper and install hamann side skirts.

Lovely looking car, I think the lines of the Wiesmann hardtop look great and really suit the Z.

Thanks everyone for warm words

I must agree! At the beginning I didn't notice any major differences with OEM hardtop... but now... yes it is much better looking!
Still hamann hardtop is top of the top

I made some Photoshoping with angel eyes. What do you guys think?

David · Post by **David** » Fri 26 Sep, 2014 17:38

I love that look! ...but then again, I am a little biased.

Brian H · Post by **Brian H** » Fri 26 Sep, 2014 20:26

OEM for me every time, unless you can get the set that Shanty made, now they were cool.

P.S. don't go putting you wipers on though as you are missing a wiper blade

Bi11 · Post by **Bi11** » Sat 27 Sep, 2014 01:44

No he can't have the set that Shanty made!

Nice car by the way

g8jka · Post by **g8jka** » Sat 27 Sep, 2014 21:32

That is one very, very nice looking zed

Like the look of the angel eyes, but also like the look of it with standard headlights.

And them wheels are probably the greatest looking wheels that anyone could ever fit to their zed. I would love a set

^^+1, keep looking for a staggered set but they just do not come up too often.

markhinton · Post by **markhinton** » Sun 28 Sep, 2014 15:01

Love it! I wouldn't change the headlights personally, standard or OEM+ if you were to add your own projector lights in the standard housing. I'm working on my own atm, but I'm going slow!

What's it lowered on? Definitely not standard!

- I must agree! But... after purchase I wasn't so sure... they didn't look so cool then. After placing them on car - different story!

- yeah... still not sure about the lights...
- Zed had Msuspension stock

I need opinions. Carline bumper...

Too aggressive, even for me!
I prefer the bumper you have currently in your photoshopped pic with the angel eyes.

Bi11 · Post by **Bi11** » Thu 02 Oct, 2014 22:25

Not a fan, prefer your current one.

///M_aniac · Post by **///M_aniac** » Fri 03 Oct, 2014 00:32

Wow- this is a great looking Zed.

Great shine, but keep car as in top photo.

The Carline bumper is ugly

and just takes away from a stunningly beautiful car.

Beautiful weather... some B&W shots.

David · Post by **David** » Thu 09 Oct, 2014 23:11

BMW in B&W, very nice!

Very jealous of your Wiesmann Hardtop...

heh! It's nice! I must admit that when I bought it I didn't know the difference between oem and wiesmann one...
After a year I can see some serious one. It just looks much better. Still Hamman v2 is NO1 when it comes to hardtops

The only thing I hate about this hardtop is this rubber seal around the rear window... it's absolutely awful. I wonder if there is any way to get rid of it.

Just tried it on very quickly

Every time someone fits ACS wheels to a Z3, God resurrects a kitten.

Great looking car!!

My 2p: Keep the original bumper, I quite like the "big mouth" version of the Z3 bumper. Maybe just add splitters/lips to the sides of the bumper, for more aggressive stance. Also, keep the original headlights - they look much better than the aftermarket angel eyes, IMHO. Only mod I'd do to the lights is to add halos for the "big" angel eye effect.

1. I don't like 2.8 bumper. It looks like an old Transformers type thing. It doesn't follow the nice curves of the car. It is very heavy and bulky

It makes the car look unaggressive opposite to z3m bumper.
With my rieger lip (sold) it looks much much better - but still it sucks compared to z3m. And z3m with acs splitters - cmon! But ofc - imho only

2.

Led AngelEyes in oem lights.

I like it - but then I'm biased... People who like these changes are in the minority, just remember.... It's your car - your opinion. And if you keep the original then you can always revert it back if needed whenever you sell it

Lovely car. I would drop the Chrome around the windscreen and shadow chrome the handles and gills.

sviru · Post by **sviru** » Sun 23 Nov, 2014 21:46

Z3m bumper on its place.

Next:
- oem chrome kidneys
- z3m mirrors
- acs splitters

Very nice, I would remove the chrome around the windscreen, that's just my opinion

Couldn't do that

. I love this chrome line stuff. It makes it even more special amongst already special specimen

Thanks for nice opinions tho! Still work in progress!

OEM New chrome grill in place.

I really like the chrome surround. Suits the car well.

Chrome grill in place after washing

z3m mirrors incoming

I definitely prefer the chrome grill to all black.

+1 for the chrome grill, goes well with the windscreen surround

What did you do with the old black grills?

sviru · Post by **sviru** » Fri 16 Jan, 2015 12:57

I still have them lying around

. The outer part needs repainting though.

For test purposes only - z3m wing mirror fitted.

By the way, as I now live in Holland, I'd be interested at what value you place the car at (in Euros)?
