Just make it mechanically sound with an lsd and bray it sid, as similarly suggested by some others it’s not quite going for an oem build or restoration but it would make a demonstration of how capable and how much fun a well maintained beemer with an lsd can be with a half decent driver 😉…..lots of power or not
Polly bush, engine gear box mounts , anti roll bars strut braces etc that’s my plan with mine just waiting for all the parts to turn up them get them all fitted together can’t wait
Well done Sid! Modern Classics are the way to go. It looks like your check has helped nip several problems in the bud. What I want to see is how much it costs to daily drive and keep this car on the road. If I were you I would keep away from the turbo or anything else that would strain the engine.
I've converted the steering in mine to hydraulic, major bugbear from I got got it was the EPS. Set of reclining OMP bucket seats and a decent head unit. Into it for a few quid now but there is still very little comes close for the money you can pick these up for
Before you do the exhaust look up the sound generator mod. It’s just removing two bits of foam from a pipe in the engine and you get mega intake sound in the cabin, completely transforms the sound in cabin
Great little cars. Would love to see a full restoration of it but appreciate this might be beyond cost effectiveness and would much prefer more track usage of it. When you're finished with it then maybe trade it into Matt at High peak Autos. He was after a straight 6 Z4 and will do decent restoration on it.
How did they get 500bhp out of the 635d? Hybrid turbos and meth injection and upgraded fuel pump? I've got an E92 335d running 364bhp and it seems more than enough. Can't imagine what 500bhp is like!
Yep hybrid turbos meth injection uprated high pressure fuel pump m50 rail pressure sensor and regulator full hard boost pipe kit bigger intercooler different profile cams flowed exhaust manifold bottom end balanced when rebuilt with custom pistons. Has now had the power dialed back to 486.4bhp but the torque curve has been smoothed out so she has power all over the Rev range
What an awesome video mate. My friend has a 3.0si z4 with 26k on the clock and it's great fun to drive. With 265hp it's no rocket ship, but it is fast enough for some b road fun

If you're going lsd you could get a lower geared diff for more acceleration too
I was glad you resumed your videos. Good man. Always enjoyed your vids. Looking for a long-term on your Z4. best of luck with it.

NA all the way. Hope you continue with the build. I've just bought one too, and Donington is going to be my first port of call.
Subscribed for the upcoming content as I bought myself a 2.5 z4 2 months ago and I'm looking for some ideas for mine, great car.

I think that’s only on the 3ltrs ?
How about a supercharger over a turbo? Better throttle response and exhaust note
And i thought i was technical! Great content mate🙏
Started my morning with Videos from sid, ending my evening with videos from sid😎 perfection 👌🏽
Definitely get a turbo on it and try and strip out as much weight as possible I say
Thanks. Good to hear, just bought an 04 Z4….
Bangle was definitely a legend
On a Z4 all you need is chassis/brake mods and you got a very capable car.
11:01 Things are staring to go sideways.
The lie in his voice when he said yep to the akra exhaust, it’s just a straight pipe with Ali express tips😂😂
Turbo! Turbo! Extra power and keep it
Thatll be quite expensive
@@carmadnab can be done for a few k. Should be less than a swap for sure and keep weight down
@@carmadnab well the lsd may put it up a bit more too,
Tidy it up would love to see the capabilities of an OEM+ build

Awesome vid, sort the chassis out first minor tweaks for motor then go from there ?
Please turbo that 2.5 so I can follow suit! Delete back box asap :)
Looking forward to this 👍
Love to see the M5 V10 dropped in this. If only I had the money 💰

@@grahamhibbart3628 what he said lol
Big brakes, coil overs, supercharger, bucket seats, steering wheel, exhaust, 👍😂
4.4 v8 matey 👍

Throw a compressor on the engine, not a turbo. Nice project car dude.
oil looked thin
Get the diff replaced... probably with a s/h one from a scrappy. Not really worth doing anything else with it... there are better cars to modify.
Get a supercharger on there
2JZ SWAP
2jz Z4
Instantly recognised the gt7 menu music 😂
Whan the new bmw is ugly
The old ones looks beter hhh
