Bennyboy 199 Report post Posted August 2, 2020 nice! do the (weighty?) e70 rims play havoc with you suspension at all, like premature wear on bushings and the like? rare in white ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z4NZ 6 Report post Posted August 2, 2020 Previous owner had H&R springs with stock suspensions. It was horrible! I have replaced all the shocks to Bilstein B6 with factory shocks. so far no major issues. But I can feel the bumps quite a lot due to low profile tyre.

NZ00Z3 187 Report post Posted August 2, 2020 Are you still on Run Flat tyres? They tend to make the ride a little harsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it may not be obvious because the tyre manufacturers seem incapable of defining a standard, you may need to check the web for info on your specific tyre.

Haggisman 35 Report post Posted August 3, 2020 Welcome from a Z4 owner in Wellington. I have a 2003 3.0 manual E85, under rated car IMO. Ditching the run flats make a big difference, I guess you mean Bilstein shocks and standard springs? I have Motorsport suspension but was considering the H & R’s with koni or Bilstein shocks so interested to hear your comments. Nice looking car in white.www.z4-forum.com is a good UK site for Z4 enthusiasts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone has to be the wheel nerd... Style 63 off E53 methinks http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/63 ? Be warned, I've seen some 'non-wheel' pictures in this site. ?
