Well worth it though. I have the M3 stuff and the handling is awesome.. It's all in the front struts (arb links) and bigger brakes all round for me.
The Z3 route isn;t a difficult one, you just need a bit of research and a few other bits and bobs to do the front end properly.
Good luck

you could always buy the adapters that do 4 to 5 stud no changing of any parts

Lathe with an indexing wheel.. easy easy to make, keep in mind your ET offset will change and you will need to add whatever the normal is for your alloys to the amount the converter takes up, eg ET15 with 30mm becomes ET45..
Correct this if its wrong, been a while since I looked at offsets and stuff..
