Beautiful vehicle. All it needs now is a small drop and the transformer transforming sound when you raise or lower the roof

Been looking around and it seems like my best option are springs instead of coilovers. The Eibach Pro-Kit for the Z4 drops 0.8/0.4, doesn't seem much but it might just be perfect w/o worrying about scraping at every driveway and road humps. This pic with Eibachs looks pretty good to me and might be perfect for what I am looking for.

0.8 isnt worth it.
Car has potential, but that stance kills it. 1.5 drop would look a lot better.

If the drop looks like that pic, I think I'm good with it. The next springs that has more drop are H&Rs which drops 1.2" all around but I think it's way too low.
Another pics with Eibachs but with 20's.

Not for me but congrats. Be careful in these streets though, alot of dudes are going to pull up on the side of your car and try to spit game...when you screw down the window and they see you it might get ugly.

cant believe how many ppl are sayin "car not for me"
the new z4 is nice, if anything i didnt care for the older generations.
the body is so sexy man, look at the black and white one just posted, the car looks better in person but you can def see how cool that side profile is in the black/black z4

Already scraped the bottom of the driver side of the car. Honestly don't know how and when it happened.
Definitely going with Eibachs.
Here's one with 19's.

Also if you have the money just go with coilovers. all coilovers are height adjustable so you'll get a better ride + you can choose how much to drop it.

Nope, not from Irvine.
I've been looking around but there isn't much info out there. I'm going to have to test it out myself and it's safer/cheaper to test out the springs first. I won't lose to much reselling the springs in comparison to coils.

Anyways RFX with coilover you can adjust your ride height to whatever stance you want. I personally have coilovers on my Bimmer and i find the handling and comfort better than just replacing the spring.

Which coils do you have? Right now the only option is H&R or KW, not much aftermarket option for this vehicle. H&R is a complete set, won't have to change the springs while on the KW, it seems like it is best that I do. Really not clear since again, not much info on these stuff at the moment.

Your right, just did a quick search for your car and there is not alot of aftermarket parts.
I use a custom spring BC racing coilover system which is consider a good coilover. KW are top of the line coilovers, and H&R good as well. What i recommend is finding a good BMW specialist shop in your area and asked them which coilovers they recommend for your car.
