Well, as some people may have known, I was planning on bolting a supercharger to the Z4M this summer. I picked up a kit with 900 miles on earlier in the year, and was planning to fit it over the last couple of months. However, due to fluctuations with work, and it being a bit of a tough year, I don't want to commit the money to the car until things are a bit more certain. So I'm biting a very painful bullet, and selling the kit on.
It's an M3/CSL kit, but as you know, the engine in our Z4Ms is the same. The kit is ready to go straight onto an M3, however to fit the Z4M there are a few minor changes that need to be made (different intercooler piping, different intercooler brackets, different supercharger inlet pipe and and oil cooler kit). All of these parts are available off the shelf from ESS, so it's a painless upgrade, but you could source some of these yourself as well (probably all but the supercharger inlet) and save a few pennies if you wanted to.
I'd like the kit to go to a decent home, and I'll do a deal for any Z4-Forum members on the asking price. I'm gutted to be selling it, as it'd transform one of our cars into an absolutely phenomenal machine. Reports from people in the US is that it retains complete stock driveability, but that extra 180bhp or so under the bonnet is incredibly useable when the time comes!

And finally, the link to the sale: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160356623212
I'm not canning the project totally. I'll revisit it next year hopefully when things are a little rosier, but for now I want to release the funds for other things.
