According to "urban" rumours, the ZF manual gearbox on the E86 Z4M seems to be sort of weak for the task, even for the standard S54B32 engine.
The supercharger is likely to push it beyond the limits.
Have you considered this matter?
i dont know where you got a rumour the gearbox was weak??? where's the failed gearbox's with all the cars thathave been tracked and abused for miles??? Yes their were some issues with shifting but to say that this makes a "weak" gearbox is untrue.....

Lots of Tq is a killer of components, i dont think thats enough Tq to worry things however?? may be wrong....

ohhh the HPF z4m is up and running!!!
