Those are good enough reasons for me! Props to you!!!

The Z4 is a great chassis in terms of it's rigidity and design, so it should be able to handle the power quite easily. Seems like a great platform for any type of swap.

How hard was fitting the engine in the engine bay? Did you have to modify the oil pan, sway bar, steering rack, or anything of that nature?

Just out of curiousity, how much heavier is the V10 compared to the I6 that you pulled out?
