I have the answer to your problem..........

Anyone fancy emailing the sales guy for some prices ? I suspect I would have to be homeless to pay for that stuff. Like the dash, not sure on the steering wheel centre...........
 
I'll take the V8 and the rear diffuser. :thumbsup:

Alas the over egged fat stitched heavy looking interior does nothing for this Z4 lover. :thumbsdown:
 
Looks fine although could do with getting shot of the M badge.

How much or is it a one off?
 
Think there are some nice bits like the rear diffuser.

But as a complete package far too much going on, that interior... Certainly not less is more.

Instead of what could be improved it seems a mash up of anything you could possibly do.
 
I think on the whole it looks superb - the seats look amazing. I hate what they have done around the horn on the steering wheel though, looks like a right dog's dinner. Also not keen on the two tone body colour along the top of the door / body line. Love the rest of it though. Strangely no pics of under the bonnet - I wonder if it really is a V8??
 
I like that apart from 2 things, the steering wheel in general, finish/non MF buttons and the two tone paint both along the bottom and above the tops of the doors. Wonder what colour the roof is when it’s up
 
I've just remortgaged, take my money... NOW! Loving what they've done, not sure about the steering wheel though.
 
They've got at least two different Zed's there. One is a manual but one of the very first pictures has an auto box... plus the side profile shows 107's and no aero side skirts. So I'm sure its a service and "this is what we can do" rather than a car they've physically got for sale. Some good ideas tho!
 
I've emailed them linking to the thread and asked if they'll come on to answer any questions along with maybe providing costs.
 
What V8 would they have used? (Hoping it's a BMW one, say the one for the E39 M5 and not another bloody LS swap :headbang: ) Wouldn't the balance be thrown off with a V8, as I thought the S54 is actually a pretty light engine? That said, I am sure the V10 would be possible as there are a few E46 M3's that have had this swap. Imagine a V10 Z4M?!

Yup, a V10 is possible! E60 M5 engine. Fairly sure I've seen the E90 M3 engine fitted previously too...
