Hey guys so I just bought a 2006 E86 with damage to the right front suspension. I'm going to have it on the hoist and see what it all needs. Now my question is that I've heard that our zhp suspension including control arms and hub should bolt right on to a e85/e86, is this true? If so I could buy a complete front suspension from a guy I know who is parting out a zhp and install it on my e85. Some info on my car: 2006 BMW Z4 3.0si coupe 6spd manual.

I actually bought it to fix and sell it. So ones it's all done I will be posting it up here. But I'm in Toronto Canada. Doubt I will get much interest on here.

Former Z4MC owner here. The suspension in the M car vs the standard model is completely different. I'd recommend joining zpost.com, it seems to be the most active E86/E86 forum out there, pose your question there and you should get some helpful answers. Good luck!

Sounds good I actually just bought e86 front suspension. After putting it on the hoist I found out it was just the hub that was damaged. But I'm not taking chances since I bought the complete suspension I will be swapping everything out. Hopefully I will have time to Finish it by this evening and I'll post pics. Thinking of putting on CSL reps since that one rims is damaged.

Ok so here's the update. Got all the suspension stuff replaced car is drivable now only problem is that it won't start. The engine cranks over but will not start. I don't hear the fuel pump click on either. I'm thinking it's the BST. But I heard the BST cuts power to the starter not the fuel pump. Any input guys I would love to get this car started up

Those wheels are making my eyes hurt. They're at least 19's and might even be 20's. Anything over 18's look out of place on an E86/E86. You can get away with genuine 19" CSLs, but barely. I'd avoid chinese "reps" like the plague, cheapens the entire car, and generally does nothing positive for resale value. I suggest fixing it and making it 100% stock including the wheels, for best possible resale value. Good luck!
