Quad pipes on a non M though...It won't be fooling anyone but those that don't really have much interest in cars so I don't see the point in mods like this
It's the look and sound he wants - who said he's trying to fool anyone? Sigh.

Yes it can be enabled through coding.
Why are you so defensive? It isn't your car, it isn't your choices that people are airing opinions on so how is it worth getting riled about?
My comment was 100% valid and factual though. He won't get the Z4M sound from just the quad pipes either. \If he wanted a more fruity sound then Supersprint and the like do far better direct swap exhaust options designed to improve the sound and exit airflow.

We have quite a few S54 owners here now, think it's worth re-posting this good old S54 document which contains quite a bit of useful information for those interested.

Face it. If it isn't oem or emmbruv ocuk bmw crew doesn't care.
Except that's not true. We have members just above you who have modified their car with taste and style.

What features does that give you?
Have just got the blanker plate in my arm rest at the moment and have never bothered to get a phone mount for it as I can stream music over Bluetooth or using the USB in the arm rest, so haven't seen much of a point. I'm guessing it's much more useful for cars without a combox?
What can be done to my 07 Z4M with a PC connection and some software? One thing that annoys me is that when I lock the car, the indicators flash to let me know its locked, but they don't when I want to open the car. Can this be turned on easily? Can I turn off the no seat belt dong? How about the roof opening with the key?
Yes to all those except the seatbelt noise. You should always wear a seatbelt when the car is moving anyway!
You can do those codings the short way by using a cable and smartphone app (Carly for BMW), or the long way by using a cable, laptop, and lots of faffing with software which may or may not be partially in German.
I have mine set to make no noise or flash any lights when unlocked. The fob's range is very long, and I don't want people to know my car has pocket-unlocked by accident, if that ever happens. I do however have a beep and lights to flash when locked, so I can lock it from afar and see that it's locked.

Be pointless to you then really, i think.
What i did was open the snap cradle up and put a few holes in it so i could plug in a AUX neatly.
Meaning it'll always be charged and ill have music on the go and its hidden away nice and neatly under the armrest. Doesn't have to be removed as the the power to the snap cradle shuts off once the engine is off, so i don't have to worry about the car battery being drained.
Yes you can have the controller and not CIC, CCC update 2 enabled the new controller prior to the CIC release; it seems as if the E60/63 didn't get the CIC updates till 2010 and the new release models.
