[Jamez]

We're up to 12 in the existing, new, soon to be Z Owners... http://www.bmw-sg.com/forums/bmw-si...calling-all-existing-new-soon-z-owners-2.html
but all are welcome.

What are/were the first mods/options for the E89?

Mine are fairly "soft options" for now so I'll go first.

1. iPhone 3G dock
2. Reinhold Engineering Comfort Module - so you can open and close the top on the move
3. Y-cable for iPod

yesssshhh heee.. went tokyo last mth just to order it. i paid close to 7k b4 shipping. thats a domestic model and they cant do international shipping, hence they will ship to a local address 1st while i figure a way to bring it in.

Too much hassle! But all worth it, actually why can't you order it from the states instead and ship over? From WheelSTO/Tire rack/PYspeed..

Re: Z4 E89: First mods/options (to be) considered? All welcome...

I was told it was a domestic model and not for export.

now i dunno how i am suppsoed to arrange for shipping back here!!

I'm 23i with 294 rims, so 225 F and 255 R. I'll see how I go with those first.

So, since mine is 23i, it's probably not going to go fast enough to need a wind deflector

don't
underestimate the importance of the wind deflector. It really helps keep the wind from whipping your hair into a mess. Unless you don't intend to drive top down at all. I put mine up after all the messed up hair, and it was so effective i leave it up permanently now, even when the top is up. I find
it troublesome to install repeatedly. But mine came standard with the car.

vpost has a japan service now, you can try that.

Yup, all red interior. Looks like Dracula had a messy meal in the car haha.

I did consider the white-red combo but couldnt find one with the right options, so I went for the sapphire black with white nappa seats. Anyone got tips on where to go to maintain the leather?
