I'm sure it's awesome mod, but I still feel scared for my DCT....
There are Z4s on the N54Tech forum that use it. Not sure if MT/DCT.
Most of the drag racing BMWs are using automatics, non-DCT, and transmissions are the weak link. Meth cars making nearly 4-500 wtq is a lot to ask the transmission to support. It shouldn't blow up, but expect eventual slippage at peak levels. Clutches will need replacement anyhow in time, so why not sooner and more often. The windshield washer bottle install takes less than an hour, plus drill/tap the stock charge pipe for the spray nozzle.....assuming you still have the JB4 installed to integrate the meth FSB.
Spend the $$$, enjoy the 500 whp for a little while then put it on the market for someone else to try.


I found this $2199 DCT 600whp clutch upgrade thread.
