Its your car Mark do what the hell you want to it!! As BMWADICT has said having the ability to show up and imbarase much more exotic machinery is a masive bonus. Thats why i am doing what i am to mine. And as i have said you need to do this to keep up with me. It will kill you when my car goes screaching past yours.
Hahah Matt your a boy
I'm thinking
But also thinking of Nos as i only want a mile max of extra power then after making my point chill out again ;)

Damn I have jus spent more than 3000 euros for the CSL Airbox but that is best of both worlds and I want it! I hope they delay it for the Z4M. :evil:

D4dawg, if you decide to go with the SC I would consider as a mandatory cost a bigger brakes kit and different suspension and wheels too.
So the bill goes up really high. I have been on a Z4M with ESS 550 kit and the car looks and drives OEM with the difference that this thing is really fast. If you want performance SC is the only way to go.
CSL Airbox is something to make your life with your car more interesting but nothing fast and interesting as the 550 kit.

They are getting strict on racers nowadays , with custodial punishments not unheard of. Maybe safer to indulge in a bit of burglary to get your thrills, a first time let off or caution at worst!!🤔

Do it! my biggest regret of Z4M ownership was not following through and charging it, have been in an ess charged M3 and can just imagine that in the Z it will make a great car epic
