The Ultimate BMW Meet with our BMW Z4 GT3

We have had a busy few weeks of late and so much happening over the next few months but that hasn’t stopped us getting out and about and enjoying ourselves meeting up with people at various shows, showcasing our BMW Z4 and the first outing this year was the Ultimate BMW Meet at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon Warwickshire and apart from the traditional British April weather the show seems to be a great success, especially with the Museum open for business which was excellent few hours seeing all of the stunning cars on display.

With well over 1100 cars on display there was a descent mixture, with more M3’s on display than anything else, we had with 39 Z4 on display all organise by Luke Blanks.

The next show for us will be the AdamCfest show on the 27th of May with Petrolheadonism at Mallory park, in Leicester, this is one show we have been looking forward too, with our BMW Z4 GT3 in the top 25, we hope to get the Porsche 997 GT3R V8 out to the same event, but we still have quite a bit to do on the car so that’s looking pretty unlikely, here is hoping the sun will join us for this event, see you there.

BMW Z4 GT3 V8 Street

It’s been a while since we have had the time to sit and write a post and we have so much to discuss with so many things going on at the moment, it’s been ridiculously busy but we really want to get back to releasing new blogs and what better way to kick things off ...our BMW Z4, yes finally our GT3 V8 Street build is complete and were happy to say all road legal, taxed, tested and MOT.

This build has taken it time, but for all of the negatives this build had along the way is all but forgotten when you’re in that driver’s seat, this car is next level out on the street, we have built some show stoppers over the years, but nothing comes close to the attention this car brings, it’s absolutely crazy, the grin factor doesn’t leave and its sounds like it looks, all we can say if you do embark on a z4 gt3 build then do it properly and install a V8 of choice, you really will not be disappointed.

Our V8 choice was the LS3 and we would highly recommend this option, our engine partners build and supply LS3, LS3 Twin turbo or if you’re after the cubic capacity you can request a fully built 680hp LS7, which they have also fitted in their Porsche C4S 997 R13 demo vehicle, but that is another story.

The weekend will see us join up with the Bilstein UK crew at cars & coffee which is happening at Demon Tweeks in Wrexham and we will then be heading to the “Z” fest in Leicester as well as hopefully heading to Stafford for the Max Power reunion in August, we will also be at the Gravity show at the NEC, so if you see us at any shows come and say hello.

One thing we have learned with this build is pick the your build team you want to work with wisely, doing the due diligence is key especially if they come recommended, or as we found out Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or any other of the leading media platforms doesn’t show the company in its true light, only what they want you to see, what should of taken us 12 to 18 months to construct has taken 4 years because we said “yes” to working with certain companies along the way for company exposure, all were desperate to work with us on this unique build, but we put it down to experience and enjoying the fruits of our labour and we now do pretty much everything in-house or with our reliable professional partners we now work with.

Now it’s time to enjoy this build and get to as many shows as we can.

Carbon Fibre Outer and Inner Barrels

We have been selling our carbon outer rims for a few years now as an overlay as well as a light weight carbon fibre barrel in a 2-piece configuration with our forged magnesium centres, but what we want to discuss now is our carbon fibre overlay, because things have had a slight change and those changes are for the better. It has been an option on our wheels for a carbon fibre overlay for some time and it’s been a very popular option, but the carbon has always been a little hit and miss, be it where the carbon meets on the join or the fact the twill gets distorted in the manufacturing process, we have never been 100 % happy with the product we have had from the various manufacturers we have worked with, we are perfectionist and we expect the perfect product, it’s an expensive process, so the last thing you expect is the product we have been getting over the past few years, but we have now moved production to the UK and we must say it’s been a great call, the quality of the product is night a day to what we have been used to and exactly what we have been striving for, we now have the pinnacle carbon overlay finish for our 3 piece forged outer wheel rims.

We have been talking to our new composite team in the UK for a while now about making our carbon outer rims and how we can get the perfect finish, especially with the way the carbon is laid onto the barrel and we must say the way the carbon is applied and the overall finish is absolute perfection.

So what makes these carbon lips so different with any other manufacturer we have used, well after a few meetings and discussions they recommend that we use the pre-preg carbon material, which is a more expensive material, but you get what you pay for and what he have now is where the end result should be, the join is seamless and the twill is perfect with zero distortion and it’s a superlight weight product that can be clear coated in a matt or high gloss finish.

This is a process that has always been available for our forged wheel range as an option when purchasing a new wheel and as well as being available for our own wheel range it’s also been available from a select few wheel manufacturers we have dealt with, but after hundreds of requests over the last few years to carbon overlay customers own wheels, it’s never been possible until now, as we have decided this is will be available to anyone with a 3-piece wheel, all you need to do is send us your outer rims and we will turn your polished, painted lips in to carbon fibre beauties, that will be available in any width or size of wheel, so get in touch with us if you want the black gold applying to your outer rims in either step or reverse configuration, with a fast turnaround at affordable pricing for the real carbon fibre deal.
