Here’s how different an AC Schnitzer Z4 is compared to stock

Looks good but I wouldn't get out of the village in that. I can only just clear the speed humps as it is.

I have AC Schnitzer springs on my z4 and the fitment is perfect. I also have 12.5mm spacers in the back and 8mm spacers in the front. Regarding Speed bumps, I am a bit more careful and now tend to use the outer edge of the bump much more often than before. The only real problem is leaving a parking lot/shopping square that is really elevated from the main road, remerging back onto the road usually scrapes the plastic pieces under the front bumper due to the incline, but as they are plastic it doesn't really bother me. As of right now (knock on wood) underneath the front bumper is scratch/dent free

One of the things I like about the G29 is a bit more clearance than on the E89 and especially the E85 Z4 I owned. I couldnt go anywhere in the 2004 Z4 without scrapping the front. Had to replace the skid place twice.

I understand modifications and its all about personal preference. I have spent a lot on modifications for my Land Cruiser especially the suspension, but that is to increase my clearance for the places I take it to. If this suspension gets you the Z4 performance you wanted then that is all that matters

I am interested in understanding why you would want to lower the clearance on the Z4. I get it will reduce drag. Is it just for the track or is there another reason?

For me personally, I lowered the car for aesthetics. I don't think I can track the car, as it is a soft top convertible, however I do enjoy canyon drives. You really notice the change in cornering when you push it in the canyons.

I don't like the look of a car when it's slammed to the ground. This one is a bit too low for my taste.

4.7" to be exact on the G29. Does it handle city speed bumps OK?

Your E85 had 4.3" ground clearance. https://www.autoevolution.com/cars/b...4-e85-2002-20i

Also, CA tells me that by adding the MSport package it drops the ground clearance 11mm, or just shy of 1/2". I need to get verification of this but don't know where to go or who to ask.

2020 Porsche Boxster is 4.3" by comparison.

I dont have any issues in driving the last 3 months. Highways, city streets etc. It does fin over bumps with zero scraping.

Do you have pics of the car with ACS springs?

I guess this is very much down to where you live. Here in the UK we have speed bumps in 30mph zones that can't really be crossed at 20+ in any non-SUV. With the G29 I have to slow down to 5-10 mph and even then the black rubber flaps under the front bumper are scraping tarmac.

Here are the pics. I forgot that I haven't installed the front spacers yet my bad, there was a problem with the sizing for the extended bolts I ordered. But let me know if you want any other view of the car!

Looks really good! Thanks for sharing. I have been waiting for the Eibach pro-kits to be released in US but nothing so far. Might need to go with ACS since H&R springs usually are too stiff for me.
