tbh...my z4 was fun to drive, but couldn't keep it from breaking down
If my 335i didn't put such a smile on my face every time I drive it then it would have been gone. It always manages to get me home but then slowly and methodically starts breaking in my garage while cooling down. I'm starting to find the sound of it self destructing harmonious.

Itā€™s called Characterā€¦donā€™t let the car hear you say itā€™s breaking down, thatā€™s the touch of death ?

I say I'm not gonna modify the katana now, but only time will tell once I see the car in person and start mods.

All this talk about the Katana... how about making it look like an actual katana?
You saw it here first. ?

(Also lower offset wheels.)

Damn! Nice Job on the drop/wheel offset. This aggressive stance + Pearl white (And color matched side reflector) would be exactly how I'd like mine! black katana tho lol

Just got my new Z and thatā€™s the first thing I did! Haha I think it looks way Breyer with the blacked out trim. If you want to see what it looks like I show it in my video

Keeping the Katana, as that is reasoning for the name of my car - Zeena (I know the spelling is different but sheā€™s going to be a warrior)

I'm thinking of actually having a blacksmith make a damascus blade version of it. I think that would look dope as hell.
You'd probably be much better off getting a piece of aluminum or stainless steel etched with acid or a laser, rather than actually pattern welded steel. Many "damascus" knives and swords use this method to get the wavy pattern look and it would probably save you hundreds of dollars and a lot of weight for the same result.

Yeah definitely would need to look into a variety of options. Thanks man! I'll keep this in mind :)
