Yes, I have the XR still, and no issues at all with the igniter modification. I had bought a spare set just in case but after 2 years all is good.

Do you mind sharing details on what causes the oil pump piston to nag like that?

I stored mine coupe for the posterity, went with a Lucas Blck Tag rack. Is actually quicker than any other BMW rack at 2.5 turns lock to lock. The z4M coupe rack is not any “quicker” than the CSL, or Yellow tag, etc. it has built in limiters and that makes it 2.8 turns lock to lock.I measured...

Pal, I had two Karbonius airboxes at the same time, the CSL replica, and the OE styleversion to retain the MAF, as well as the plastic stock one. I tested the Karbs back to back and the OE style one, with the stock filter box and a KN panel filter sounded very different and louder than the...

Most of the sound comes from the carbon material, is not just the filter.

I have SDW, no issues, have been on the car for 4 years, but only 12k miles. if I was in EU/UK, I'd go Millway. There is really no detriment, even from NVH PoV.

if you can carry it and install it yourself, just contact Severn tunning and done. is remote tuning and works great.

looks super patchy, I asked about it in their IG post and they kind of ignored it. at that point, I prefer the Karb OEM Style version.

I have bought a black tag rack, will be interesting to see how that changes feel

My Z4MC has nice and precise steering, you know what is doing not by feel but learning and trusting the car. Is a bit numb off center and it loads up as you throw the car into a corner but feel does not increase. Is the nature of the car.

My plenum is an old one, and the filter is not as tight. I have seen some dust particles on the plenum side. That said, if it bows like that could let dust through, unless the unfiltered section had a ledge to push the filter back in place

My Karb does not do that.

I dont think there are off the shelf Koni dampers for the Z4M, at least not the front. I would go B6 dampers and leave ride height alone or it will get crashy very quickly.

I think the perspective of giving a blind eye to an issue just because it drives normal is not best, it can be right for you, but that does not make it right from an engineering point of view. The OP asked for input, and I think he got some, I wish someone would have given me this level of...

Is 115 bar at operating temp. To adjust the valve you do it at lower oil temps to set it at 115, that said, when hot, if you have lower pressure, adjusting the valve changes nothing as you are not reaching its setpoint. If you want to make sure is working or set correctly, connect the gauge and...
