Just signed up so thought it'd be rude not to post an introduction! - I've got a 1998 BMW Z3 2.8 (M52B28) which I've had for a little over a year now - it was stock when I first picked it up, but I've made some changes to it over the last year...

:: INTERIOR ::

  • Custom Lockwood EL dials
  • M-Tec steering wheel
  • Optional Chromeline interior pack

:: EXTERIOR ::

  • Staggered 18" Beyern Multi (18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear)
  • Falken FK 452 all round (225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear)
  • Clear lenses front
  • Clear side repeaters
  • Red and clear rear light clusters
  • Chrome bulbs for the above

:: PERFORMANCE ::


  • SuperSprint stainless steel exhaust
  • FK Silverline Plus Coilovers
  • Camber adjustable front mounts
  • E-Tech strut brace
  • Powerflex bushes throughout
  • Meyle HD control arms
  • Meyle HD rear shock mounts
  • BMW M3 OEM front shock tower reinforcement plates
:: ICE ::


  • Stock upgraded HK system and sub
  • Pioneer AVH P6650 single din DVD player (now removed for Alpine below)
  • Alpine CDE 9880R with full speed iPod control
  • Mangowalk stubby aerial (had S2000 but it broke!)
/\ that's all I can remember off the top of my head just now!.. probably missed something though?..

BTW what happened to Zed Cars?

Nice motor mate except for one thing, your radio appears to be tuned to talentless crap, retune it to Radio 2 and you'll be set.

Nice motor and mods, welcome to the forum

obviously not many Radio 1 fans on here then! 

to be fair.. and in my defence those pics were taken the first day I installed it and were taken on whatever had been stored at the time.. I mostly listen to my iPod - although some of the music on this could be equally questionable!..

Welcome mate and I have to say, I'm loving the Dials. Bring
the car bang up to date, would like to do that to mine but
the whole dash. Would be some job and I'd be scared of
fcuking it up if I'm honest.

LOL!!! - I should have it all finished and installed this weekend (weather and time permitting!) and I'll do a write up so you can see what's involved once done!.. not too difficult if I'm being honest.. just fiddly - but it was one of the things I wanted to change on the car when I got it as the stock lighting is frankly woeful!.. almost as bad as my old MK2 MR2 (although not quite!! )

I've seen some of the write-ups Paul has done, they are well written and have loads of detailed photos - they're almost foolproof

Radio two is horrid now we've got the ginger whinger on brekfast, and somebody I cannot even remember on drivetime (also horrid, far to modern).

I listen to smooth radio (used to be saga .......yes THAT saga lol)

Anyway, I may just be getting old (not as old as Nero though)

Welcome to the form

P.S. ..... what's an ipod ?

I was told off by my teenage daughter the otherday for saying I'd downloaded a record from I tunes, she says they aren't records anymore !

Sounds like a record to me !

She was also horrified to know that she had this "record" on her I pod, but has removed it now, as it just isn't "on" to be listening to something her old dad likes lol

Totally agree with Gary.

Nice car but would be better in the flesh.

Love the stance of the car.

Eventually got round to installing the dials in the car - here's a sneak peek just now - I'll take some better pictures when it's dark tonight.  Overall pretty happy with how they've turned out, not bad for a first attempt! - I'll get round to doing a write up over the weekend if I get a chance - some quick pics just now:
