Probably not adding value but perhaps making it easier to sell.
There are plenty of small places that make one off stuff . Might find one in a kit car magazine

Drove the BM a fair bit yesterday and the handling is really good but it would be nice if it had a bit more "weight" when the steering comes off central , ie more self centering i guess
A common modification is to fit BMW M4 Lower control arms which allow more negative camber, I dont know what the stock camber is but clearly it runs out of adjustment and these are around 1cm longer and can add around -1 . The downside is that they lower the car by a small amount around 5mm i believe and they push the wheel further forward increasing toe?
Any thoughts ?

I've only driven a convertible once a Merc, although the wife had a Golf/Rabbit one when she was in the US it was always too cold , I felt very exposed and on-show in the Merc so wouldve have preferred the coupe MX5 with the folding roof

Michelin do make a RFT, normally marked SST or with two large stars on the sidewall. The only exclusion is the M series or if the buyer requests non RFT.
So there is a single star in the box on the tyres but there is not other markings , its Michelin Pilot Super sports fitted , dont Michelin use a ZP to designate RFT?
Have reset the pressures though and they were all pretty low so expecting the ride to be a lot harder next time I go out

Just picked up this 2015 BMW M235i , often called an "M" lite as its not a true "M" car but its got a good turn of pace , apparently 0-60 is anywhere from 4.4-4.8 seconds depending on where you look and its limited to 155mph , the 3.0 twin scroll turbocharged angine produces around 330hp and 330 ft lbs of torque , think I read peak torque is at 1300rpm , so its not laggy at all
This one was advertised locally with just 15,500 miles on it and its in really good nick , single stonechip on one of the wheels and a car park door dent on the rear quarter which I'm sure will come out
Only had it 24 hours but got up bright and early to detail it and protect it until the weather gets better
Washed and clayed and decontaminated the wheels
Polished with some Blackfire Gloss enhancing polish , then 2 coats of Menzerna powerlock
Gave the interior a thorough clean and shampooed the carpets , so it will do for now , wheels need to come off really and arches need doing but that can wait until spring
Engine before
After
During
This was just the drivers side wing !
Few more afters
Some cool toys inside , a power/torque meter
Good on fuel so far

I had a set of brand new Mitsubishi ones do this on my Evo, Tony spotted it and fitted some MX5 ones as I recall . Really annoying as they were £22 each , and I torqued them correctly
