Thank you for checking out my Z4! This car has been a true passion project, and I\u2019ve loved every moment of tinkering, upgrading, and tuning it. When I first got it, it was completely stock, and it\u2019s been an incredible journey transforming it into the amazing machine you see here today.\r\n\r\nLetting it go is bittersweet\u2014I\u2019ve never felt more attached to a car. But life moves on, and sometimes priorities shift, even when it means parting with something so special.\r\n\r\nThis is my first time listing a car for auction, and I\u2019m here to make sure every question or concern is fully addressed. I\u2019ve done my best to highlight every feature and flaw in the listing, but feel free to reach out if you need more details. \r\n\r\nI wanted to include a link here to my Google Drive, which has uncompressed photos as well as a comprehensive modification list. I have looked over it many times and I certainly hope I am not forgetting even the slightest detail, but there were many little odds and ends I had bought over the years which may not reflect there. Anytime I needed a replacement screw, bolt, plastic nut, etc...I only bought OEM/OE. I was quite particular! But if you have any questions, I am here. Keep in mind that since that list has been a work in progress over many years, some of the links may no longer work. \r\n\r\nhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FP_Lq7-R6wihnAJPfzvZ2DLa138njfMI?usp=drive_link", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1736292779, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16533177, "authorName": "nc_rubicon (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/nc_rubicon/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@zggs Thanks for your comment! The stock 35is is truly an amazing machine, and when paired with the DCT, it\u2019s a marvel to experience. As for this car\u2019s exact power output, I\u2019ll admit I\u2019m not entirely sure. I\u2019m a bit of a unique case\u2014I loved working on this car and shaping it into what it is today, but I\u2019ve always driven it modestly.\r\n\r\nEven during the tuning process, my tuner was surprised by my approach. Most of his customers want to squeeze every last horsepower out of their cars, but I told him, \"Tune it for the parts it has, but prioritize safety. I want this car to stay reliable for years to come.\" Reliability and longevity have always been my goals, and I hope that care shines through in this build.", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1736293260, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16533240, "authorName": "jthayer22", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/jthayer22/", "bidAmount": 10000, "content": "$10,000 bid placed by jthayer22", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1736293989, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 16534626, "authorName": "celbii", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/celbii/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Very nice build, one of the most fun cars out there that people are missing out on.

It is very hard for me to give a number like HP, because I have never been to a dyno.
