Decided not to sell the Z3m

[Gwyndaf]

After some deliberating Ive decided to keep both the z3m and z4m. In terms of the z3m work is well under way, vanos done and remap, front and rear bertini strut braces, powerflex bushes all around, and koni adjustable sports shocks with h&r lowering springs. Finally a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups semi slicks. Cant wait to give her a blast, and hoping she can get close to the z4m in terms of handling and performance.

Looking at some powerless bushes on my 98 2.8 @Gwyndaf . Do they make much difference and if so which ones would be best suited to change? Some or all?

Thanks

I dont profess to be an expert but the consensus here is the powerflex. They make a a purple and a black set. The black is more suitable to the track and are very firm, so most recommend the purple. They are made of polyurethane so longer lasting too.

Good choice sir

You know it makes sense. Few more years and it will not only appreciated in value, but put a lot of big smiles on your face

AND keep it out of @BMBabe 's clutches.

Good to hear you're keeping the 3 @Gwyndaf, if I had those two I would have to have a clear out in my garage to get them under cover. As it is my Z4 lives in and that noisy, smelly VW lives out!

What the consensus on lowering 25mm 30mm or 35mm

30 mm..with 12mm spacers on 17s..spot on stance with no rubbing ..glad your keeping both..it's another one out there being looked after

30mm

My Z3 2.0 was lowered 30mm and had K&W suspension fitted before I got it. That seems right to me decent ride and good handling.
