Haha nope last things I did were tint the front lights and get the bigger exhaust tips fitted.
I want a subaru wrx sti or m3 but I can't bare to part with the z4 which is annoying 
Will be coilovers and new wheels next I think.

Maybe the coupe is quicker?
Excellent scientific work Ben.

Real world performance mate, not pub talk figures.
The vert I believe is heavier/slower than the coupe AFAIK.
How else do you compare them? The woman was proper gunning it.

Forgot about updating this thread.
Not sure exactly what I've done since my last update really, I'm forever missing about with it.
Had a custom retrimmed steering wheel done a few month back, completely changed the feel of the car with it being double padded, the original wheel on mine was stupidly skinny.
Delivered 
Removing the airbag I found bloody scary
Wheel off after nearly chining myself.
Swapping all the switches and wiring harness over aswel as the airbag mounts and plastic surround
And back in
Got a rolling road day tomorrow so it will be interesting to see what the cars putting out (or not)
Figured I should clean it ready for it.
I'll update with figures and hopefully videos tomorrow

It was running in limp mode for some reason so it's down on power a fair bit
Booked in for Friday to have a diagnostic run.
It's running rich so I'm thinking a sensor has died and not thrown a eml light.

Tell me about it! Made 195bhp!
An e46 and a e36 made more than book figures and mine decided to do the complete opposite.
They said it's not unknown for a sensor to have shit itself and not shown up.
When they said 195 you should have seen my face "YOU WHATTTT!!!" Lol
