Nice...how much did all those mods set you back?

[Passive]

Cheers. The front & rear bumpers, hood, side sills, grille, lights and exhaust was about £3800 - not cheap but well worth it. Both the rear and front bumpers were a bit damaged before so it feels pretty good to have a car in perfect condition.

What about the ESS tuning?

[Passive]

That was $7495 (reg. $7995) which was an offer to the first customers from the e46fanatics forums.

Amazing performance in that thing, I'm considering upgrading to TS2+ (which should give me another 40-50 bhp) at some point though I think I'll wait a little (new headers and cams required), I have spent too much on the car lately.

Was at my BMW dealer today and was drooling at a red Z4M Coupe, great looking car.

Added some new pics now as the old ones were a bit dark, have a look here if you like:

So I guess the only question is, did you spend more building your own ///M Roadster than you would have if you bought the factory made version?

that's great with nice pics..have you tried putting bmw park light manually? i was planning to attached them to my bmw 325xi but i wasn't familiar with the procedures..perhaps i can check my manuals,but surely it was not enough.
