    Lightbulb Tuned Z4 - what's next?

    So, I have been tuning my Z4 for a few months. So far, I did the following:

    On the mechanical side:
    - VF-Engineering supercharger
    - Supersprint exhaust
    - Bilstein shocks absorbers on M suspensions
    - Slotted brake rotors, carbon ceramic pads, high precision brass bushings, stainless steel brake lines
    - Strut brace

    On the cosmetic side:
    - Racing mesh grille
    - Diamond stitched seats
    - Aluminum brake and gear handle

    I was thinking of changing the wheels for something a bit lighter that also would let me use bigger tires at the rear. I was also considering a set of aluminum pedals.

    What do you think? What else would you do?

    Is it the soft top? I would consider to add a stronger torsion bar for handling. For Wheels it would be great the BBS Lm or BBS lm-R, on BMW, they look great

    Yes, that's the soft top. The torsion bar is a very good idea. I'll have a look at the BBS lm and the BBS lm-R. Thanks LiveLife

    Sure, keep adding pictures of the engine, also you can do a ECU re-map.

    The ECU was remapped by VF-Engineering when they put the supercharger (it's a bomb now). I'll put more pictures tonight

    How about some CSL wheels? Those look great on the Z4!
