135i to Z4

Hi all,

I am thinking of moving to a Z4 35i, and am wondering what mods can be used in the Z4?

I have JB4, DP's, charge pipe, meth kit at the moment. I know the JB4 will be no issue swapping over and the meth kit. But I can't seem to find any info on the other bits.

I think the downpipes won't fit? what about the charge pipe?

As of now you are more limited with the E89 mod wise vs the 1 series. We are waiting for production downpipes. The JB4 will carry over and there are a few exhausts out there albeit expensive. I was going to work with ETS to make an exhaust and intercooler kit but right now I can't really be without a car for a week. Let alone what do I do with the stock equipment (lease)

Yeah I wasn't really interested in exhaust, mainly power mods. I see that AR and Afe may be making DP's soon, so hopefully by the time I get the car I can get a set of those.

your 1 DPs won't transfer over

the CP is questionable.

IIRC, ER needed to make a new CP for the Z4, so, based on that, I'm assuming the CP isn't transferable.

the CP in the Z4 is angled vertically IIRC

The downpipe and charge pipe will not fit. The intercooler is questionable though you might be able to make that work with custom mounts and piping. I had a 135 prior to the z to you will enjoy it but will miss the brakes if the 1.
