The 1M engine is already an offshoot of the Z4 35iS engine. (direct transplant with a new sticker)
Bringing it back into a Z4 is not possible when it is already in a Z4 production model.


I do wish they had put the ///M Power rocker cover on the 35iS as they did on the 1M.
Open the bonnet and you get "BMW Twin Power" on our engine and the 1M boys get "BMW ///M Power" on theirs.
If they were soooo busy putting ///M badges all over the 35iS, why couldn't they acknowledge the engine was the most ///M bit and put a sticker there for us?

I'd trade the door sills, the speedo and steering wheel badges all for that engine cover. Let's face it, it is the only performance enhancing thing they changed on the 35iS, so it shoudl be the only thing that gets a ///M badge.
