Nice TA. Must be great at the drag strip! I'm betting you can pop the front wheels off the ground when you launch, right?
Now if only it could turn... :P
What GO goals are you looking to achieve with your Z?
There's lots of aftermarket support for the Z, but none of it is cheap.
Just a few brands off the top of my head:
Intakes - AFE, Dinan for full intakes, drop in filters: K&N, BMC
Exhausts - Remus, Eisanmann, Dinan, Supersprint
Suspension - KW, Bilstein, Eibach, Koni
That should be a quick start for you to start researching parts, but pretty much any major manufacturer covers BMW in some way or another.
If you're looking for major BMW tuners, try Turner Motorsports, Rogue Engineering, UUC Motorwerks, or Dinan. These guys are more specific to the BMW brand and make some one off parts that are great mods.
