Well there go , I never knew such a thing existed. I have half a dozen shallow hail dents on by boot lid, barely visible but my OCD knows they are there. Might give that a try...:thumbsup:
 
Bought some stripes to cover up a couple of chips on the bonnet after having a quote for the bonnet painting.
Also new rear brakelight cover and some wheel centres
Will post picture when stripes fitted, no doubt some for and against comments
Will make the rare Sterling grey Z4 even more unique
 
And it's yours Paul so stuff anyone else's opinions.

Just arrived the turner underdrive power pulley upgrade kit :D Super excited to fit this in, but first I need to get also a set of tensioners and a reinforced water pump for my full upgrade...

It is basically a kit that upgrades your main pulleys to light aluminium with larger diameter thus underdriving them and reducing the load on the engine significantly and freeing up some real measurable HP.

There is also a race edition for the track that underdrives the alternator even more but is not recommended for road use as it might not charge the battery well.

Besides that it was about time I did refresh my belt and tensioners :p

I didn't even know that something like this existed...
Would you give us an update once you installed everything @elky ?

I've seen them before, but never seen any actual before/after numbers. Be interesting to know.



My money's on "not a lot", but I'm prepared to be proved wrong. It has happened in the past.:whistle:

As far as I've searched it is claimed one of the most "real" HP upgrades (~11 with 20max HP) for NA engines. Specifically the alternator pulley I've read is used in race builds.
Turner motorsport does provide dyno numbers for my kit but from an E46... but I am not so eager to pay 200 euros for 2x dyno tests to prove their results :rolleyes:
In theory it makes sense, because you change the diameter so the engine needs less force to turn them.

If I buy one of them for mine I will go from a snail to a caterpillar haha

I bought these a few weeks ago to replace a couple of broken clips on the door cards. Definitely noticed the difference in performance 🤥

I also have to open my passenger door at some point and do some work because there is play in the window and in potholes sometimes I can hear it.

Hi Paul, I also have some tiny chips here and there peppered on the bonnet. Can I ask how much was the painting quote and wasn't wrapping an option?
Thanks. I am also curious to see how your stripes turned out :D
