So far I haven't seen any superchargers for the N52 engine, probably still too new. There are lots for the M54 though for you pre-06 Zers

I'm not sure I'd change much in reallity,

But on my mind are...

1. ///M roadster steering wheel.

2. DRLs

3. CF roof

4. BBS or TC Kline wheels for summer

5. Possibly some new springs or coilovers

6. Invisible Kids interior...

7. HPF S54 Turbo w/750 whp

Order is just how it came to mind...definately not priority.

Oh does a car cover count as a mod? I might need one in boston if I can't find a garage...

Fixed your post, you had a typing error.


P.S. - I think you may need a little more than 15K for your number one pick.

Option 1: Sell mine and use the combined proceeds to get an M Roadster.

Option 2: Currently, someone on E46fanatics is selling a 330i ZHP engine for $5000, installation included. I'd get that, upgrade to M3 CSL brakes ($3000), adjustable coil-over suspension ($2000), add a hardtop ($2500), and add a TMS limited slip diff to my car's 3.46 rear end.

The turbo kit is 17K, so I will go with Enfield on this one, sounds like the best deal to me

Hmmm, sounds like someone needs to set up a Gentlemen's Club meet.

I've been interested in the hardtop since before there was a coupe, Johnny come-lately. One, I sometimes miss driving my car on the clear winter Chicago days. Two, I always liked the old Mercedes-Benz SLs with their hardtops. Three, it seriously looks wicked, especially in black.:rocks:

And it's portable as well, so I could put it on my next Z4 if I, perchance, bought a Sapphire Black/Imola Z4M next winter.
