my tip of the day.

i also removed the s/c indentifcation plate at the top and polished the supercharger unit and it looks awesome!!

Wow Beedub,
This is pefect. Checking the blower oil has been a pain, but now it is much better. I have changed mine 3X now and it has been perfect aswell

Thank you very much for sharing that "tip of the day"

10K miles on mine and still perfect Thinking about the VT-2, but not sure I need the power or the dent in my wallet

the suble whistle on idle and at low revs, imo its the best mod ive ever done to any car, combine this on the z4m with a full BBK, and suspension, you have a car that will out perform most other high performance cars.

Yes to all of the above!

Well I am very happy to be employed, but I am going to miss Mfest again. Working weekends on our current project and it is due to be completed in 5 weeks.

Maybe if I put in for time off now, I will make it next year.

That would be a great cooling mod, but serious $$$$.$$ The cheapest I have seen is around $3500... not that I looked into it or anyting

I don't know about that. I could always give a set of spinners a try. It would be so cool if my car looked like it was moving even when it was parked, right?

[inTgr8r]

^ don't laugh.
I saw an E46 M3 here last summer, with spinners .

That's because the spinning part reduces un-sprung weight

"Hi, my name is Chris, and I'm addicted to M cars", that's a classic opening line, this is a great tread, I've read it over a dozen times it's so interesting. Thanks for the great write up and pictures. My name is Doug, and I too am an M addict.

crfine88 i just ordered the vt2 upgrade...... im suffering without that intercooler, heat soak is killing performance.... i cant wait to feel what 500hp feels like in a z4m!!
