Any costs??

Nice work well done. For the OZ F1, how did you have to modify the wheel bearings etc?

Thanks for the compliments on my car...
With the OZ Formula, it is noa as it looks.
I did not do a center Lock modification- on those rims its just show and shine.
Just a plastic thing over the bolts.

I had Oz centre-locking wheels on my first Westfield that had exactly this...it looked convincing until you really examined them. Great looking car with some awesome modifications :thumbsup:

m track mode would probably be a better use of the 'sport' button... but what does
it change?

Gives you a slacker DSC setting, which should let it slide around, but hopefully catch you when you get really out of shape!

No need for the sport button. It's all done with the DSC button that is already in the car.

Excellent thread! Very nice mods, and a very nice car :)

Glad to see that the M-Track mode can be done, and will do it later. On the 46 i still ended up just turning DSC completely off. But for track days its perfect, and does help you look like a hero if things do go a tad wrong.

Interested to hear the difference on the diff ratio. I opted for the 3.91 on my M3, but didnt find it quite enough, and wished i went for the 4.10. Though with the Z4M being more of a handful, perhaps the 3.91 would be the best bet again? :)
