Very nice!

I so agree, the 2009 Z4 does not need to be modified it's a "piece of art as it is" and the opening and closing of the roof by some of my friends has been called a "Like a Symphony" Perhaps someone should make a mod to add music during opening and closing of the roof ~smiles~

UK fans of the Mini Cooper will be happy to know that the new John Cooper Works kit set for the MINI Cooper S will be available in Great Britain. The MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works aftermarket kit will cost 1,095 pounds including VAT.

The MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works has a power increase to 192 hp and 250 Nm of torque, 62 mph will come in 6.8 seconds and the top speed is 144 mph.

MINI Cooper Press Release:

New John Cooper Works kit set for UK roads

MINI Cooper S. Great driving. The end? Fans of the British-built sports hatch will be delighted to learn that the story continues with the launch of an all-new John Cooper Works tuning kit. MINI Cooper S owners will be able to add the aftermarket kit for just £1,095 inc. VAT, plus approximately four hours fitting.

The 1.6 litre twin-scroll turbo engine in the MINI Cooper S receives a power increase to 192 hp, from the standard unit’s 175 hp. Maximum torque is extended from 240 Nm to 250 Nm and is available between 1750 and 5000 rpm. As with the standard car, an Overboost facility is available for faster power deployment and the Works kit means drivers will feel the full force of 270 Nm through the MINI’s front wheels under hard acceleration. The increased power results in a 0-62 time of 6.8 seconds, and top speed of 144 mph.

External John Cooper Works branding on the front grille and tailgate indicate the tweaks carried out under the skin of tuned cars. Features of the kit include a sports exhaust system, a sports air filter and a revised engine management system: all designed to optimize power efficiency and make the engine more free-revving for rapid acceleration throughout the engine speed range.
Visual appeal of the Cooper S can be further boosted with features including an aerodynamic body kit, 18-inch light alloy wheels in various finishes and numerous carbon-fiber trim and panel units.

The tuning upgrade is available at MINI dealerships from September 2007 and will give hard core MINI fans an eagerly-anticipated performance hit. Appetites were whetted earlier this week with news that the MINI John Cooper Works CHALLENGE car will be unveiled at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show. The race car developed only for track use is priced at €49,900.

Exactly, but I do like the look better than what BMW did with the is of the m package. I said back then that BMW got it right the first time. I am only saying that if they had to make an is model or add M packages, why couldn't they have done something more subtle and tasteful like this? I absolutely hate the rear bumper of the is. It is a deal breaker for me, but had they made the rear bumper and diffuser like this, I would definetely have no complaints.
