Nov 2011

After my wedding and honeymoon I decided it was time to get a few more bits together for the car. After seeing a car breaking ad on Bimmerforums I collected an underbody cross brace from a cabrio model. These stiffen up the chassis and improve steering feel.

And from the same seller, I collected a pair of 'twisty' sideskirts. These were fitted to coupe models and facelift saloons. As soon as I got home I fitted them.

I had also been on the hunt for another steering rack for the car. I always felt that the steering was too low geared with far too many turns of the wheel. I did some researc and decided I was not paying £200+ for a Z3 quick rack so compromised with a late E46 rack which was 3/4 turn less lock to lock and really improved the steering response.

The following weekend I fitted the rack and X brace

The steering was much improved. A good fairly cheap mod.

Also that weekend I changed the centre console in the car from the wood look to standard black. I dont mind the wood, but felt there was too much.
