Never did I say that I have anything against modifying a BMW. I certainly do thing there’s room to expand on BMW’s designs in order to better fit your personal driving style. I’m actually about to start doing some work on my e34 Touring, which will likely include a few aftermarket parts here and there.

My point was simply that me (or the owner of the Z3 coupe above) bolting on some aftermarket stuff doesn’t make me any more of a “true” fan than the guy who meticulously maintains his bone-stock e38 or the guy that restores 2002s for fun…

@Lee: okay, maybe I went overboard a bit , but let me tell you, the BMW tuning industry is one of the largest. I myself love the stock look of my car, but I can name at least 9 friends that love to “pimp it out”, so unfortunately, we are outnumbered.

Lee,

I totally agree with you. I am a true bimmer fan and I really don’t care for mods. If I am driving a BMW, I want to know how it drove and how everything felt from the factory. The point of buying a BMW is for that certain driving experience. I don’t have anything against mods or people that use them, I just don’t like them myself.

“when you add about 100 mods/parts to your car, then you are a true bimmer fan”

I have to completely disagree with that statement, and it’s not because I’m one of those people who feels it’s a strike against God to bolt an aftermarket part onto a BMW.

If anything, though, I would figure those who have to change that many parts on a car to be happy with it weren’t really big fans of how the car came from the factory in the first place…

Kind of like saying someone is a “true” fan of Restaurant X, yet that customer brings food from Subway into the restaurant each time they dine there.

It´s a Z3 M COUPE. A Z4 is completely different when it comes to looks
