To mod a Z4Mc or not to mod...

[Str6mik]

I bow to the collective brainpower of the forum to answer me a dilemma..

I've had my Z4 for over a year now, I bought it with the intention of keeping it forever, and something to drive only in the summer and at weekends.

The car is immaculate, people who have seen it have said it is one of the best examples they have seen, and it wants for nothing - if a bolt goes rusty, it gets replaced.

I absolutely love it as an object, and love that it isn't losing any money. But I can't help but feel it isn't 'quite' special to have as just a weekend car, and the opportunity cost of having the Z in the garage is preventing me getting into something that would

I think the car has potential - and I'm debating modding it. I've already done small things - pagid pads, rogue mounts but am contemplating fitting carbon intake, and shrick cams which would make the car far more special.

My problem is by doing this am I totally invalidating the first reason I bought it - and limiting the potential market, and return on the car by modifying it?

So I guess my question is would seeing the car tastefully modded with the above mods influence the price you would pay ?

In my view It's dying to be turned into a mini CSL, but can't quite pull the trigger! It's a constant conundrum that is annoying me beyond belief.

If I sold the Z4 I would likely get a Cayman GT4 / new Cayman GTS - but they obviously incur a significant financial hit

Any thoughts welcome

Many many thanks for all the comments. Certainly some well articulated points, and real food for thought, and on the whole backs up my own thoughts.

I'm currently working to try and keep the Z4 as well as whatever I was planning to replace it with......
