:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ten smiley faces for every cylinder that's running in my Z4 project. Finally I have a fully running M5 V10 engine that starts on the key first time. I was stunned with how well the Specialist Components ecu ran my Z4 , they have produced a cracking ecu and map . Once I've tidied up engine bay and pulled it out of the workshop I'll take a video of it running and try and post up as I've never done a video.
It's been a year in the making and this is my own special Xmas present to myself.

The boring bits, insurance I presume you have to get a specialist, modified & guaranteed value type of policy.
What about VED (road tax) do you have to take the car for some kind of assessment to get the band ?


Also can't wait for the Vid :thumbsup: :driving:

Thanks lads . I'll video it ASAP. As for insurance I'll need to check my trade policy against value.
