My first Z4 was registered in Aug 03 - it was not SE spec on the v5, yet all of the standard SE options were zero'd priced on the invoice and was informed they were standard on all UK 3.0l cars.

The limiting performance factor for most road users is their own ability.
So if you're bored, maybe look at some advanced road lesson from the likes of http://www.cadence.co.uk/ or others that are advertised in the back of EVO etc .

a bit of a different perspective, I went from the z4 3.0 to z4 3.2. Whist the z4m is a better all round car than the 3.0l - it's not worth the extra I'm paying/paid over my old 3.0L IMO. Yes the power is amazing, but then the 3.0L was a capable engine as well and offered 90% of usable power as the M...
