BMW Z4 Coupe: New Exhaust Tips
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.3 года назад
Replacing the stock chromed tips for a set of Machine Monkey stainless ones. Not quite what I was expecting, and I may look to cut down the inner rear box tips a little in the future, but they're certainly a lot cleaner.

BMW Z4 Coupe Wheel Refurb
Просмотров 3513 года назад
After another tyre fitter hacked away at one of my alloys two weeks ago, I travel over to Mad House Tyres on the Old Kent Road to pick up that refurbished MV2 and return their loan wheel. First video on this channel and am hoping it's the first of a few to document my time with the Z4 Coupe. Insta: z4coupe_dwn Note to self: Visual and audio quality will improve over time.

Can you then unclip the rest of the assembly from reaching inside?
From memory I think you can.
nice bro i’m planning this upgrade
Horrible noise...todo loud
Não pode ultrapassar na linea continuaaaaaaaaaaa
Very good. I would just stick with the original silencer though.
Very good.
did you get the b1r or b1? b1r is flow forged...
I bought the B1 not the B1r.
Hey bro. I saw your comment from a long time ago on the e30 vert release handle. Would you happen to remember how you got the tonneau cover up after It closed with the wire unlatched? Same thing happened to me
Hi Sam. From what I recall, I had to take the inside rear speaker cover trim off and reach up inside to release the latch by hand.
@@dwn2634 okay so I should take the passenger side speaker trim off and try and reach in with hand and screwdriver ? Thank you for responding.. kinda freaked out when I realized what I did lol
@@sam7196 I had similar freak out levels and couldn't quite believe what a plank I'd been :)
@@dwn2634 hey I still can’t get it.. would you be able to help me over text with pictures or something?
@@sam7196 sorry bud. Don’t have the car anymore and it was a couple of years ago now so details are sketchy. I do remember blindly poking around in the top roof cavity with a screwdriver trying to find the latch inside to release and got lucky (drivers side). Good luck!
very smart .
Pro-tip…. When using any king of power operated machinery on bodywork, don’t let the power cable dangle down and rub against body panels it can undo the prep-work done, and it the cord is dirty or dusty it can introduce contaminants to the surface just before you polish it. Try to guide the polisher cable over one of your shoulders so that your body is always between the dangling cable and the car
Btw, smart looking car - I have a sapphire black Z4 roadster, but I’ve always liked the coupes too. This blue looks really nice and should respond well to a complete go-over with a polisher
Hi, where did you buy the machine monkey tips from, I searched but no joy?
Hi. Yes, these MM tips were bought second hand from somebody on the Z4 forum.
Hi.. they look great.. can you send me a link or email address on how to order?
Hi. I bought these second hand from somebody in the Z4 forum.
Hi, nice wheels, I thinking about the same for my car. How they are doing after few months on British Roads?
The wheels hold up pretty well on British roads. Highly recommended.
It’s coming together nicely 👍. Loving the bronze wheels. I’ve recently painted the calipers on my Coupe gold but still not sure on if they will stay that colour.
Many thanks! Yes, the bronze were a risk but one that really seems to have paid off. Lesson I think is do what you feel is going to be right.
I’m chuckling here….I’ve a Z4 E85 3.0 SE and a Detroit Tigers cap 👌🏻🤘🏻….are you watching re-runs of Magnum Pi too?…car looks great my friend 👌🏻
😄 Not recently, but I’m a child of the 80’s so my need for a moustache and [one day] a 308 are very much in my cultural DNA 😄
@@dwn2634 Ditto 🤣👌🏻…..Amazon Prime video for Magnum if interested! I’m on episode 61 of 162 🥸 🚘
@@randomelvis3359 😄
I absolutely needed this video. I also have a Monaco blue E86 and searching for rims. I’m having trouble with the figment but your video may have just saved me. Thank you and keep posting!!
Very glad to have helped!
Looks really good, great mod.
Great color combination! My coupe is montego blu, and I was thinking a lighter color of gold would go well with that lighter color of blu
Many thanks. I think pretty much most shades of blue would suit a warm bronze to compliment. Love a Montego Blue. Always looks like summer and shows of the lines perfectly.
Ended up buying the OEM tips from BMW, mainly as I couldn’t find anything else. Flipping expensive but do make a difference - would definitely have taken a look at these at the time, they look great too. Have now ordered a replacement engine splash panel having noticed the current one has been split at some point - £104 on eBay - price to be paid for being OCD 😁
Thank you. The price for OCD is super high in car ownership here too!
Not sure if the bronze colour works with black...but that's just personal. Great video still.
Thanks. The car is actually blue, but maybe that isn't coming through on the video.
Just about to do my oil housing/cooler gaskets, belt, tensioner and pulleys and replacement of the harmonic balancer - all preventative - I actually like my original fit split rims so will be leaving those alone albeit they are a pain to keep fettled, but I like your choice!
Thank you! I did look at split rim options (108s etc) but as you say they need LOTS of care. Good luck with all the preventative work 👍🏼
One of the best accessories I opted for on my Z4 coupe was the V1 billeted shift knob - weighs a ton, beautifully made, feels great, looks classy, matches the dash buttons and transforms the change fabulously 👍 Great little video - keep them coming 😁
Thanks for the comment! And agreed; the V1 has featured in all my previous Beemers and is night a day for shifting gears compared to OEM. Matching handbrake handle en route to me too!
Excellent - 2007 Z4 3.0si Coupe this end, with my MOT on Monday, then as the lockdown eases a list of little jobs I want to do which I now have the bits for: drive belt and tensioner, oil cooler and housing gaskets and Springtime service - then hopefully, as you say, a few decent road trips - can’t wait 😛 👍
Bring on the summer! Especially with a fresh MOT and a list of sorted jobs!
