Check how a Z4 is setup by BMW and listen to what Hack has to say.
I'd say corner balance that sweet ride and forget about its stance.

If you really want to impress someone, go do the following:
1- Euro headers
2- Decat Spipe leaving the chamber to pseudo- resonate.
3- Buy a straight-through muffler like RE diablo or RPI or SS or eisenmann.
4- Get evolve NA software
5- Shift @ redline

Pure DTM aural sex. I can post a video if you're interested.
Tikamak,

You're talking drivel!

This is a photo of how I've set up my Z4MC on ACS Racing suspension (adjustable), with H&R E46 M3 ARBs F&R and with 10mm spacers F&R and RTAB limiters. I have also reconfigured the geometry. It has been set up by the way it feels and performs to my handling taste and requirements. The appearance of the final result has been of no interest to me, all the mods and set up have been refined by performance, only.

Go on, tell me I'm a poseur who's just gone for stance.
