"If that were true you guys would have... hey!"

My other "Z4M done right" plan was to order an M Roadster with manual top and seats, swap in the 4.10 gears and chip it to raise the red line until I could still hit 60 in 2nd, and start shaving weight to make it a Speedster but still livable - lightweight exhaust, lighter ac compressor and alternator, lighter battery, lightweight pullies, lightest wheels I could find (I think I had Volks in mind), race buckets... The target was 3000lbs, iirc. It would have been TiAg with black interior. Ah well...
I have the same plan here

tiag Speedster, thought i started with control and weight mods (suspension, wheels, tyres, exhaust, intake) shit like that
