z4 M coupe & e46 M3 + KW's & 19's
I've been M3-less for the last few months ever since I sold my last M3, so I picked up a '07 M coupe off a friend here in Seattle. Car was completely stock, 54k miles, pretty good condition.
Wasted no time getting the car out of stock form. Decided on KW V3's for my car and V2's for my friend's M3.
Installed Rogue rear shock mounts on both sets. On with the photos..

pre-suspension install photo






working on a front








all done. the install on the z4 M coupe was a bit quicker than the M3, it was like installing stock suspension. No surprises, no issues.








M3 finished


Friend of mine (Mark Perrault) bought an M3 out of detroit last week that came with a set of 19x9.5 19x11 Work Meister S1's. We test fitted them on my car just to see how they fit.. well they actually fit pretty well, to my surprise, so I bought them.



Definitely had to do a bit of fender rolling though..


fast forward to yesterday.. washed both cars before taking some photos in Fremont and Queen Anne (Seattle).



my house mate's 964:






























Wheel specs are 19x9.5 et17 front w/ 235/35, 19x11 et17 rear w/ 275/30. I still need to play with the settings on the V3's.
Feels great though, rides nice, handles well. Up next will be painted bumper markers, a front splitter, and an RPI exhaust.

Enjoy the photos,

Thatcher

That looks so amazing, that Z4 M really reminds me of my 997. Such a good look!

Thatcher, your car looks fantastic. The wheels and stance make a huge difference. Thanks again for the Kinesis hardware.

HPF makes a variety of kits that can get you over 500whp, but i think i have only seen m3's w/ the kit. It is the same S54 engine but

I wasn't a fan of the Z4 until now... the Work wheels and suspension totally transforms the car. Looks Great!!!!! Congrats!
