Although I partly agree with the above, what makes sense is not always what makes you happy. I know the OP well and he loves his MR, I don't see him selling it for a GTR or similar which doesn't have half the character, or looks IMO. Whether SC'ing it is butchering or not is a matter of opinion. For me the fact is having something with more power than it has from factory and being quicker than far more expensive machinery is half the fun. Would I do it if I had the money? Hell yes! Would it be the sensible option? Probably not, but hey, we're petrolheads, if we were sensible we'd all be driving 320D's!

Do it! my biggest regret of Z4M ownership was not following through and charging it, have been in an ess charged M3 and can just imagine that in the Z it will make a great car epic

what did you think of the m3 with the blower?

insane - hard to explain to be honest, but felt extremely quick. It was apparently running 450 bhp and it just pulled relentlessly - like everything was amplified, noise, power etc. It was the same revvy engine with more pull but didn't feel like the big power turbo cars where you're aware that youre on boost - much more linear with only the whine giving it away. Convinced I will get another and follow through in the future as I can imagine the sense of drama would be amazing in a smaller cabin with the roof down

just to prove i am working on this.....

heres the "cold" start test as i wanted to show the characteristics of the car at idle and very light blips to around 1.5-2k. Sorry for the vibrations the camera is struggling to deal with the sheer volume and the whistling is of course the blower. exhaust setup is V band thin wall SS, large bore pipework all ceramic coated, 2 tiny 100 Cell race Cats, ending with 2 RPI gt race cans with removable bolt in silencers ( in this case not present), this setup is very free flowing, very noisey but dropped 25+kg from the stock setup....

Bare with me, I'm working on this Alot in the background.

I'm trying to show this is every situation... including the ones were an aftermarket setup usual fails, so cold behaviour and off boost driving .... i really want people to see just how well the thing drives slowly as well as the other side we all know about.
 
Keep it coming buddy
Hopefully feeling better?
I'm leg up in bed haha
Fun
