NO Point, I already have 385 hp in my Z4 with 425 ft lbs of torque. Use 94 octane and it's probably up around the 400 hp mark. Dinan already did it for me.... If you have an M adaptive suspension and a couple of M badges you're there already. To be anything worthwhile an M from BMW would need to have over 450 hp or it's really a waste of time.

My Zed can stay up with the current model M3 without any problems, much to their chagrin....
