Your mods and advise is spot on in my opinion. One thing I modified early on was replacing my air filter with a cold air filter from aFe. It is a simple, but more expensive modification, but the sound it makes as you accelerate is equal to the exhaust sound as far as pure enjoyment. You could almost see the cyclone vortex as the air is sucked into the throttle body. The added benefit is that you might pick up an extra HP or two and you will never have to buy another paper air filter again. I love your videos. Cheers.

I just got my E89 Z4 sDrive30i and I love it! I might buy a new exhaust for it since I think it is a little too quiet... When you are not up in 4000+ RPM it is more quiet than my 320d haha, but when you put your foot down everything changes especially with the roof down! It feels like a go kart in the corners, this car is the best car I've ever had.

CDV (Clutch Delay Valve) is a must in my opinion. Transforms the 1st-2nd and pull away feel. Stubby aerial, makes the back end look a lot better. Depending on model, foam removal from the sound generator. Pipes glorious induction sound into the cabin. Mine is ear splitting loud but soooooooo nice. ZHP gear knob is the stubby version of what you have. A must have in my opinion. Dash cam (hard wired) - A must for any car. Saved me a lot of hassle and ££££ when someone ran a red light and wrote off my previous z4. Top video as usual.

This was done to my E85 before I bought it. It's definitely a god thing as long as you're sympathetic to the drive train. If you dump the clutch or change gear without matching revs it's going to hurt your drive train. It could twist your driveshaft and end up messing up your diff. The answer is to always match revs when you change gear. Blip the throttle with the clutch down when changing down and leave a short pause as you change up. If you do that the car will thank you with clutch mileage to die for. The engine will be happier too. You're Driveshaft will last a lot longer. Overall it's a great mod if you are a careful driver. Disastrous if you don't' care. Luv and Peace.

Top video Joel! More than happy with the noise with the foams removed from the resonator duct on mine(done before I bough it but not sure if these are there to filter any air sucked into the engine from behind the dashboard, anybody?), and the X8R DISA valve upgrade certainly offers piece of mind. Eibach springs reduce the ride height of the 3.0 by 15mm (30mm on the non 3.0 pre 2006), though more supple than the standard springs, mine is too low to get out of my sloped driveway without scraping the pavement with 2 people on board.

Excellent video as usual, I have done the gear knob,and the run flat tyres, I’m keeping my silver grill as it’s specific for the 3.0L and the black is for the smaller engine cars, I’m also worried about doing the back box delete in case I don’t like it and have to put it back, instead iv done the sound generator mod which is really simple and should have been on your list 😉
@itsjoel
@itsjoel 5 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yes I didn't include it in the video but you're right, the 3.0L is the only one with the silver grills. I just love the gloss black grills with my black paint. There's no way you won't like it if you do the backbox delete, it just might start to get irritating on longer journeys. Sound generator mod is a good one and wasn't on my list, because I'm saving it for the next one ;) #KZfaqStrategy

Mine did the same when I got it (part of why it was affordable for me). I got the repair kit for the CCV system and put it in, smoke all gone. It took me (I'm not a pro mechanic) about 3 or 4 hours and takes no special tools. Cost was about $60. Good luck and thanks for this video.

So my brother and I each have 2005 Z4's and both of us have the feature where the top can be let down and up using the key. We didnt need to code it into the keys, both cars just came that way. Could there be some difference between the vehicles oversees?

Hey Joel, I've been really tempted to do the back-box delete on my E85 3.0.... thing is I'm really worried about droning and it being just that little bit too extreme. Have you heard what these cars sound like if you delete the middle box under the car rather than the back box? Would that be worth doing?
@itsjoel
@itsjoel 5 жыл бұрын
Mr Q hey mate, no I haven’t heard what that sounds like! The drone is only noticeable/ somewhat annoying at motorway speeds

Hi Joel, I did the modification and had the backbox removed from my Z4 3Li. Now it's too loud and drones like a boy racers car. Not the nice sporty sound I expected. Fortunately, It only cost $120 to have the job done. I'm now thinking of having a redline muffler fitted which will cost me a further $300. I'm hoping that will reduce the drone. Cheers, Mike Liggett. NZ Aotearoa.

Back box delete sounds terrible. All it does is make any any long drive a headache due to the volume of the constant drone. Al the z4 cars were made in USA...not Germany Other mods I agree with ...black grilles are now available for under £30 if you're comfortable with a tiny bit of modification to make them fit just nice. But you missed one of the best mods ...remove some foam from the pipe that goes down near the passenger footwell.....it's only in the 3.0 models though and will give some awesome induction sound in the cabin
