Modifying and enjoying a rare Z4
Those of you who race, daily drive and modify your Z4MC, how do you handle the guilt? Coming from Supra world and owning a now-20 year old vehicle, we have already seen many components going out of production (rear quarter windows, interior trim panels, etc). Luckily, there are many aftermarket parts available, and many classifieds to keep parts flowing, but some specialty parts are becoming now extinct.
I haven't found much for the Z4MC as far as aftermarket, nor many drivers who modify these vehicles to the end of days. I'm surprised there aren't many (probably not one) Z4M coupes running 9s in the quarter mile! Is it lack of interest, aftermarket support, rarity of parts, cost?
And lastly, what is the prospects of Z4 OEM parts availability for the future? Does BMW have a 10-year production limit for parts after end of vehicle production? Anyone know their typical phase-out plans?
