CDV (Clutch Delay Valve) is a must in my opinion. Transforms the 1st-2nd and pull away feel. Stubby aerial, makes the back end look a lot better. Depending on model, foam removal from the sound generator. Pipes glorious induction sound into the cabin. Mine is ear splitting loud but soooooooo nice. ZHP gear knob is the stubby version of what you have. A must have in my opinion. Dash cam (hard wired) - A must for any car. Saved me a lot of hassle and ££££ when someone ran a red light and wrote off my previous z4. Top video as usual.
This was done to my E85 before I bought it. It's definitely a god thing as long as you're sympathetic to the drive train. If you dump the clutch or change gear without matching revs it's going to hurt your drive train. It could twist your driveshaft and end up messing up your diff. The answer is to always match revs when you change gear. Blip the throttle with the clutch down when changing down and leave a short pause as you change up. If you do that the car will thank you with clutch mileage to die for. The engine will be happier too. You're Driveshaft will last a lot longer. Overall it's a great mod if you are a careful driver. Disastrous if you don't' care. Luv and Peace.

Your mods and advise is spot on in my opinion. One thing I modified early on was replacing my air filter with a cold air filter from aFe. It is a simple, but more expensive modification, but the sound it makes as you accelerate is equal to the exhaust sound as far as pure enjoyment. You could almost see the cyclone vortex as the air is sucked into the throttle body. The added benefit is that you might pick up an extra HP or two and you will never have to buy another paper air filter again. I love your videos. Cheers.
Joel, i'd like to say the intro to this video is fantastic, all the way to you jumping off that gate in perfect timing with the music. bravo chap. My favorite mods i've done so far is either my bilstein b12 pro kit coil overs or my new Spyder auto headlights i just got yesterday
Like the video mate, but personally mod number 1 should have been a sound generator mod. It's the first thing i did to mine, i done it as soon as i got home from picking it up. It's free, it's easy and makes a MASSIVE difference
Jack 'The Nipper' Bennett very good shout. It’s one of the first mods I did to my Z4 too. The reason I didn’t mention it in this video is because I’m saving it for the next video I do on mods!
MOST IMPRESSIVE!!! I PUT BLING AROUND THE TOP CIRCLE LIKE EDGE OF MY GEAR SHIFT AND I CUT AND TAPED A TINY FLAG TO MY REAR ANTENNA AND PUT SOME BLING ON IT TOO....OH I ALSO ADDED A GRAPHITE SUN VISOR STRIP TO THE TOP OF MY WINDSHIELD....AND YOU KNOW I PAINTED MY BRAKE BMW BLUE, JUST FOR THAT BAM!!!...CHI-CHI-WOW-WOW!!!
Totally agree on the shift knob. Installed a short M knob and it's terrific. Next mod - clutch delay delete. Supposed to be quite easy and make shifts/clutch much more precise.
Top video Joel! More than happy with the noise with the foams removed from the resonator duct on mine(done before I bough it but not sure if these are there to filter any air sucked into the engine from behind the dashboard, anybody?), and the X8R DISA valve upgrade certainly offers piece of mind. Eibach springs reduce the ride height of the 3.0 by 15mm (30mm on the non 3.0 pre 2006), though more supple than the standard springs, mine is too low to get out of my sloped driveway without scraping the pavement with 2 people on board.
I just received my Carly adapter and have coded lots of great options on my 2003 Z4 including the ability to open and close my top and windows with the key fob. And yes, I used the Joel20 code on checkout and saved 20%. Thanks a lot Joel.
Your videos are nice to watch! :) Very simple telling and practical thing to tell bro!! :) Im from Finland and just bought Jag XF 2010, but think after 2 years buy too a z4, because its good money for car value!! And you have conformed it :)
Joel just quick one on the Carly adapter,you purchase that and then you have to pay another 50 odd quid sign up for the premium pack to be able to code the car?is that correct?I bought adapter and then went to code car and it said I needed to buy premium functions to proceed with the coding after paying for adapter?I didn't know there was a sign up after purchasing the adapter in order to be able to use it!might be worth mentioning to others who purchase adapters.
I can confirm Joel's Z4 system, was much louder than my Z4M's quad pipes! Tyres are a must have mod, the Z4M's use normal tyres and it's one of the areas that the Z4M improved on the normal Z4's from factory.
Here's a thought.... has anyone ever tried installing the M's hydraulic power steering on a non-M Z4? That with the run-flats should make it pretty epic...
Excellent video as usual, I have done the gear knob,and the run flat tyres, I’m keeping my silver grill as it’s specific for the 3.0L and the black is for the smaller engine cars, I’m also worried about doing the back box delete in case I don’t like it and have to put it back, instead iv done the sound generator mod which is really simple and should have been on your list 😉
Thank you! Yes I didn't include it in the video but you're right, the 3.0L is the only one with the silver grills. I just love the gloss black grills with my black paint. There's no way you won't like it if you do the backbox delete, it just might start to get irritating on longer journeys. Sound generator mod is a good one and wasn't on my list, because I'm saving it for the next one ;) #TH-camStrategy
So my brother and I each have 2005 Z4's and both of us have the feature where the top can be let down and up using the key. We didnt need to code it into the keys, both cars just came that way. Could there be some difference between the vehicles oversees?
I put non-rft tyres on my 2007 E85 (18"), it still handled like crap. The handling was twitchy and it tramlined. My 2011 E89 is fitted with 19" rft tyres and it handles brilliantly...
Back box delete sounds terrible. All it does is make any any long drive a headache due to the volume of the constant drone. Al the z4 cars were made in USA...not Germany Other mods I agree with ...black grilles are now available for under £30 if you're comfortable with a tiny bit of modification to make them fit just nice. But you missed one of the best mods ...remove some foam from the pipe that goes down near the passenger footwell.....it's only in the 3.0 models though and will give some awesome induction sound in the cabin
Just discovered your channel and look forward to viewing your videos on the Z4 and first gen Cayenne. For now can you tell me where the alarm switch is located on a 2003 E85 Z4?
Hey Joel, Just watched your video here and noticed that when you first accelerated away there was a lot of smoke out the exhaust. Mine did the same when I got it (part of why it was affordable for me). I got the repair kit for the CCV system and put it in, smoke all gone. It took me (I'm not a pro mechanic) about 3 or 4 hours and takes no special tools. Cost was about $60. Good luck and thanks for this video.
CDV delete? Any Z owner who has done this knows its the first thing they should do. Maybe not available on the MK1 Z? Stubby arial? Debadge was the first thing I did. Much cleaner.
Hi Joel, I did the modification and had the backbox removed from my Z4 3Li. Now it's too loud and drones like a boy racers car. Not the nice sporty sound I expected. Fortunately, It only cost $120 to have the job done. I'm now thinking of having a redline muffler fitted which will cost me a further $300. I'm hoping that will reduce the drone. Cheers, Mike Liggett. NZ Aotearoa.
Does your car have a limited slip diff? I'm looking at z3s and z4s just now, cheap ones, and i prefer the look of the z4 but read that they don't have an lsd, only the 2.8 z3 plus the m models had it but yours looks like it slides pretty easy and thats what I'm after, had an mx5 with a lsd and went sideways everywhere, im looking for the same kind of thing just with more power and better noise from the 6cyl.
Matt Col haha no not at all actually, I was just brought in to help Sam our with filming, social media & the podcast on a temporary basis. The work with Sam actually had nothing to do with me starting my own channel
Thanks for video, always something to catch! QUESTION: I’m looking for the way to play my music phone (iPhone) in the car, is there a good mod for that??
Hey Joel, I've been really tempted to do the back-box delete on my E85 3.0.... thing is I'm really worried about droning and it being just that little bit too extreme. Have you heard what these cars sound like if you delete the middle box under the car rather than the back box? Would that be worth doing?
The backbox delete, is there a drone noise or a loud/overwhelming sound when driving on the highway? If that’s the case I might do a bypass on the exhaust so I can turn it on or off
You can buy a car fascia head unit on ebay for the Z4 and take out the radio and put in a blu tooth hands free radio,I went with a pioneer one for mine,can be fiddly to get the old radio out as it's held in with clips in the heater vents above the radio,buy the face plate youself and tip down to Halfords and buy a head unit and get them to install it for you
Depends on the state if it's California they recently just made all exhaust modifications not from the manufacturer is illegal regardless of decibel levels
Its okay to mod but sensible to choose reversible mods so you can bring it back to stock for resale credibility. Many buyers assume a modified car is an abused car.
Hello You love roadsters. Excellent I will buy a Z4 2007 in a few months. I will look your videos For tips. Hey you can organise A huge Z4 meeting in your area. country
I just got my E89 Z4 sDrive30i and I love it! I might buy a new exhaust for it since I think it is a little too quiet... When you are not up in 4000+ RPM it is more quiet than my 320d haha, but when you put your foot down everything changes especially with the roof down! It feels like a go kart in the corners, this car is the best car I've ever had.
Clear 3rd brake light and turn signals,spoiler,aero side skirts,white interior bulbs,number plate bulbs in hid 6000,arm rest from leather z for in between seats,short stubby antenna,led orange bulbs for the back indicators,hid conversion to 6000 low beams,front splitter,this is a few I've done to my own😊 lower it 30mm
The first thing I've done to my Z4 is getting some clips for my wiper mechanism after it decided to just give up in the middle of a thunderstorm. Brilliant. Aux port is next, and new rims never hurt anybody ^^ (except your wallet maybe)
All good advice. CDV delete was my number 1. Found out by accident that my key had been coded for the activation of the roof. Bonus. Also sound generator mod. Great for cabin noise whilst not upsetting the neighbour's at 05:00 in the morning.
Hi Joel it's Tim, new subscriber. Had my 05 2.5 2 weeks now. Videos very helpful but in reply to you asking for questions on more mod suggestions, have u removed your CDV? Doing back box ASAP once found local garage.
Timothy day hi Tim, welcome to the channel! I’m glad you like the vids. I haven’t done the CDV mod myself, but I can say that you’ll love the backbox delete mod!
Changed my standard air filter today mate for a sports filter. Mine being a Jetex blue filter as their local to me and can definitely feel the difference. Much smoother and pulls better. Just a normal sports panel filter which fits into the standard air box.
My journey so far here: z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=110589 I winced half way through your video when the door slammed. Sound deadening mod, cheap and easy to do, epic result. Are you coming to the drive out on Sunday 2nd June?
Good, I'm Portuguese and I apologize for my terrible English now .... if you could help me thank you, I have a BMW like yours a little while ago, I would appreciate it if you tell me how you can clean the rear window internally ... Thanks
Mate, with the delete of the runflat tyres put in a can of pressurised repair gunk. A good bandaid compared to the option of leaving car where the tyre went flat and having it stripped.about $40
From all modifications i made on mine (front, back lights, wheels, alcantara etc...). I have to say the best what I would ever recomend is to change front hood - bonnet for M version. It is just so beautifull I cant get over it every day i get in car.
@@itsjoel Nice man, me too lol. I crashed my 323ci on the northbound roundabout many years ago :( weight transfer caused a quick snap back and lack of experience meant it could not be saved. I was going to ask if you fancied featuring the z4mr before it gets sold but I see you've had that all covered. Nice vids man, keep up the good work!
Yep, those tires are the worst. I replaced mine with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus. Dream tires for any car. Could you suggest a GOOD AUX port that I can add to my car so I don't need to keep changing one CD at a time and rather go with my iTunes player?? Thank You.

Good info.
I heard that LSD is a good modification.. so I took acid and had the best ride of my life !! Z4 is totalled, but it definitely worth it ✌😎
Funniest comment I've seen in a while 😂
kolcasek no. I dont think so. Every lsd system i saw on this car is just wobbeling. If its not proper build in system its garbage.

Love the video as always, back box is best mod.

David Mcgrath that is also what I dislike, and why I have not bought it. Why pay every year 60 , crazy...
Hey Joel, I think that the best mod and also the cheapest one is the sound generator mod. I put out only 1 of 2 foams and it is fantastic!
Great show, any info about how to get Bluetooth on the standard stereo Joel ?
I can confirm Joel's Z4 system, was much louder than my Z4M's quad pipes!
Tyres are a must have mod, the Z4M's use normal tyres and it's one of the areas that the Z4M improved on the normal Z4's from factory.

Potentially there’s a difference, or the previous owners coded it themselves

No plans just yet to come back, however I will definitely visit again as soon as the opportunity comes up!

Don't forget the near side headlight mod, you can make it shiny again, loads of youtube videos show you how
DONT TWIST, just pull straight up, twisting will break the plastic tab in the top re the gear knob
Just discovered your channel and look forward to viewing your videos on the Z4 and first gen Cayenne. For now can you tell me where the alarm switch is located on a 2003 E85 Z4?

Yes CDV delete is a mod you can do on all Z4s, didn’t speak about it in this video as I haven’t done it myself
@@itsjoel you should do it then mate - well worth it. Enjoyed the rest of your mods BTW. Think I've already done them all though. 😉
Great video. What radio did you replace the factory unit with? I’m looking to upgrade the sound.
Hi Joel, I did the modification and had the backbox removed from my Z4 3Li. Now it's too loud and drones like a boy racers car. Not the nice sporty sound I expected. Fortunately, It only cost $120 to have the job done. I'm now thinking of having a redline muffler fitted which will cost me a further $300. I'm hoping that will reduce the drone. Cheers, Mike Liggett. NZ Aotearoa.
Did u get the redline
my 07 hardtop coupe was the best 10k i ever spent.
The MicroSwitch is something as well as mine is currently broken for the roof.
Im on the look out for one. Anything i should look out for, like common faults?
DISA valve and roof motor :)
Does your car have a limited slip diff? I'm looking at z3s and z4s just now, cheap ones, and i prefer the look of the z4 but read that they don't have an lsd, only the 2.8 z3 plus the m models had it but yours looks like it slides pretty easy and thats what I'm after, had an mx5 with a lsd and went sideways everywhere, im looking for the same kind of thing just with more power and better noise from the 6cyl.
WELD THE DIFF!! hahaha
Is it possible to put in a bluetooth option in the z4?

Hey Joel, I've been really tempted to do the back-box delete on my E85 3.0.... thing is I'm really worried about droning and it being just that little bit too extreme. Have you heard what these cars sound like if you delete the middle box under the car rather than the back box? Would that be worth doing?
Mr Q hey mate, no I haven’t heard what that sounds like! The drone is only noticeable/ somewhat annoying at motorway speeds
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
1st mod should be to sound deaden the bean tin doors
The backbox delete, is there a drone noise or a loud/overwhelming sound when driving on the highway? If that’s the case I might do a bypass on the exhaust so I can turn it on or off
Yes there is, it's hard to say how bad it is. For me it's bearable, but that might be different for others.
Is it louder than the radio while driving?
Ashley De witt depends how loud the radio is I guess. I only really hear it on the motorway above 80mph
What about the radio Joel? I've got the 2.5 2003 and the thing doesn't even have an aux. Can I get a replacement radio?
You can buy a car fascia head unit on ebay for the Z4 and take out the radio and put in a blu tooth hands free radio,I went with a pioneer one for mine,can be fiddly to get the old radio out as it's held in with clips in the heater vents above the radio,buy the face plate youself and tip down to Halfords and buy a head unit and get them to install it for you
Look for a GROM unit. Gets you all the features and the smooth stock radio still intact.
Nice photography. I've done all the mods but the remote top.
Thanks mate.
Have you ever thought about having your wheels painted shiny black...?
To anyone, what does the Z4 stand for, just bought a Z4 and learning what I can about the car.
'never had a puncture' - I'm in year 3 of driving and I've had 5 xD.
I've had runflats on mini/bmw since 2004, every puncture (4) minus 1 has left me stranded.
i special like this period !!!
I own a BMW 135i 2008. What mods do you recommend?
Best mod would be to sell it and buy a Z4
Hi Joel what area you In should meet up and try my z4 mine is a 3.0 i but it's and auto would be interesting to see the difference
Daniel Lee I’m in the south east
@@itsjoel would you be interested in testing mine out
is a back box deleted legal in the us? does anyone know?
Depends on the state if it's California they recently just made all exhaust modifications not from the manufacturer is illegal regardless of decibel levels
Never mod. Original unmolested examples in great condition are appreciating in value.
Its okay to mod but sensible to choose reversible mods so you can bring it back to stock for resale credibility. Many buyers assume a modified car is an abused car.
Hello
You love roadsters. Excellent
I will buy a Z4 2007 in a few months. I will look your videos
For tips. Hey you can organise
A huge Z4 meeting in your area. country
Tyres, yes. Black grill nope. Looks naff.
A bit of smoke coming out there at the start Joel
Muffler not backbox
It’s called a backbox in this country dude 👍🏻
Not built in Germany, built in America!
Not in Germany xD
too much ad for carly
How it’s built 👍 vimeo.com/15694814
Hey, I'm early
Hey 👋🏻
nope, that's an inline six. That's where I stopped watching....
I just got my E89 Z4 sDrive30i and I love it!
I might buy a new exhaust for it since I think it is a little too quiet... When you are not up in 4000+ RPM it is more quiet than my 320d haha, but when you put your foot down everything changes especially with the roof down! It feels like a go kart in the corners, this car is the best car I've ever had.
Beautiful 3.0 is all I can say....just nice to see one out and about. I have the coupe but the soft top is quite nice as well.
Great video! A cup holder would be number one on my list though
High Peak Autos they have cup holders under the vents and the cup holders adjust despite what most people think.
Mine has cupholders.
They are shit.
You do love a good cupholder, Matt! 😉
@@RandySoWavvy my only problem with them is I’m a taller guy so I always hit my knee on the cup holder
“Rolled out of the factory in...” Spartanburg, South Carolina!😁 Good vid though.
Haha, oh yes. Good point!

Clear 3rd brake light and turn signals,spoiler,aero side skirts,white interior bulbs,number plate bulbs in hid 6000,arm rest from leather z for in between seats,short stubby antenna,led orange bulbs for the back indicators,hid conversion to 6000 low beams,front splitter,this is a few I've done to my own😊 lower it 30mm
+1 for the aero side skirts. I can’t believe BMW discontinued them for the Z4 😢
Serious mod,they make some difference and look great,think you can get them in Germany if you really search for them on the net
Some amazing suggestions there! Tried doing the snubby aerial a while back, but didn't exactly go well... haha. 😂
@@itsjoel you can gets Peugeot/Citroen stubby very cheap on fleebay that fits well. Just don't tell anyone where you got it from 🤫😂
That's a lot of smoke off the line!! I think you need new rings!
I hope you sorted your headlights by now. I would also paint the rims in black
The first thing I've done to my Z4 is getting some clips for my wiper mechanism after it decided to just give up in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Brilliant.
Aux port is next, and new rims never hurt anybody ^^ (except your wallet maybe)
All about a nice weighted knob
hampshirephoto you love a weighted knob don’t you!
I sold my Z4 and got an E46 m3 ........but I do miss my Z so so much
All good advice. CDV delete was my number 1. Found out by accident that my key had been coded for the activation of the roof. Bonus.
Also sound generator mod. Great for cabin noise whilst not upsetting the neighbour's at 05:00 in the morning.
The best mod i did was reupholstering my steeting wheel with royalsteeringwheels.co.uk cost £150 and makes the steering wheel super nice to handle!
Will be doing mine soon with royalsteeringwheels there work is quality👌
I love the idea of this!
You’re spot on with getting the run flats changed. They tramline like a bitch!
Hi Joel it's Tim, new subscriber. Had my 05 2.5 2 weeks now. Videos very helpful but in reply to you asking for questions on more mod suggestions, have u removed your CDV? Doing back box ASAP once found local garage.
Timothy day hi Tim, welcome to the channel! I’m glad you like the vids. I haven’t done the CDV mod myself, but I can say that you’ll love the backbox delete mod!
Changed my standard air filter today mate for a sports filter. Mine being a Jetex blue filter as their local to me and can definitely feel the difference. Much smoother and pulls better. Just a normal sports panel filter which fits into the standard air box.
LSD not easy and cheap but it will prevent that one wheel fire which we have seen in the intro....
😂
The standard gear knob is waaaaay too light you’re right. I had the same problem in a 335.
Heavier knob is a must.
My knob is the heaviest
@@jakeyjakey101 Careful not to knock yourself out when pulling on it!
My journey so far here:

I winced half way through your video when the door slammed. Sound deadening mod, cheap and easy to do, epic result. Are you coming to the drive out on Sunday 2nd June?
That back box delete is hideous. Why do you want to make such an unholy racket? It makes you appear to be a 12 year old schoolboy.
good job man love the car 👍
If only they made that wheel design in 18 inch size. best design for Z4
Good, I'm Portuguese and I apologize for my terrible English now .... if you could help me thank you, I have a BMW like yours a little while ago, I would appreciate it if you tell me how you can clean the rear window internally ...
Thanks
Sorry..my car is z4 e89 2010 23.i
change your had of cilinders to m50 engine, sorry for my poor English))
Mate, with the delete of the runflat tyres put in a can of pressurised repair gunk. A good bandaid compared to the option of leaving car where the tyre went flat and having it stripped.about $40
Thanks for the tip dude
Does the back box delete get through an mot?
Not in my garage .....FAIL.
I have had a flat tire before, and trust me, you will want run flats...
DISA unit upgrade should be 1st mod.
Got to be careful if you are twisting and pulling your knob off !!!!
😂😂😂
Stupid driving on the roads like that
From all modifications i made on mine (front, back lights, wheels, alcantara etc...). I have to say the best what I would ever recomend is to change front hood - bonnet for M version. It is just so beautifull I cant get over it every day i get in car.
I love this car
Drifting the milford roundabout tut tut, is easy in the z4m tho ;) all about the LSD!
Milford roundabouts is where I’ve learned 😂 spent many nights with an LSD MX-5 there!
@@itsjoel Nice man, me too lol. I crashed my 323ci on the northbound roundabout many years ago :( weight transfer caused a quick snap back and lack of experience meant it could not be saved. I was going to ask if you fancied featuring the z4mr before it gets sold but I see you've had that all covered. Nice vids man, keep up the good work!
Yep, those tires are the worst. I replaced mine with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus. Dream tires for any car. Could you suggest a GOOD AUX port that I can add to my car so I don't need to keep changing one CD at a time and rather go with my iTunes player?? Thank You.
