Leave the electric steering alone, get a quaiffe, KW coilovers are probably cheaper then the M suspension and offer significantly better handling and adjustibility. There's endless opportunities out there and there's no point in fearing what seems like a daunting task. Set a goal and aim to achieve it. It's all doable.

And with my own car, with my own goals, given time and money, I will have a Z4 that outperforms the M in every way possible. (Mind you I also set a budget so as NOT to exceed the price of a brand new Z4M.)
It takes more than Coilovers to make a Z4 suspension better than the M Coupe's. You may have a point with adjustability though... And the electric steering is crap, lets face it, you get almost no feedback from the road and there's the tramlining and maintanence issues.

I think the second part is a hell of a lofty goal. Unless you are doing all of your own labor, good luck to you.
