- BMW Z4 e89 sDrive23i
I have decided to start this thread to showcase the process of upgrading, parts replacement, etc of my e89 23I Z4.
Hope you guys will find it useful.
I want to start with:
1. Visual downgrade which I have just done this week to gain more rubber.
After a long research, I have switched from OEM 437M 19" rims to an expensive replica of 763m rims. I am planning to paint them gunmetal/ dark titanium as they are pure black, and not a big fan of how they look.
(I feel like nothing looks better on this car than the 437M rims do.)
Also, the old tires were Michelin PS4S, and the new one is Good Year Eagle f1 Asym 6. Compared to the old tires, they are much more comfortable and less noisy.
The grip is great, the handling pretty good, and perhaps a little less responsive steering compared to Michelin tires. Overall it is way more daily driveable with the new setup.
Tire cost: around 500 EUR
Rims cost: 1650 EUR
2. Left Taillight replacement
As with most of the e89 models, the time has come for the rear left tail light, to therefore, replaced with an OEM one. Around 30-60 minutes to replace it myself.
OEM tail light cost: 280 EUR
