I wonder why the previous owner would spend the money to install a BBK. It's not like the car needs one for the stock power. Maybe he tracked it? The fact that he paid top dollar for Ohlins also...

Purely cosmetic and no real performance upgrades. I don't care about this at all. We don't need luxury in a car like this.
