Thanks for having me. Any plans to start a wine tasting or cigar discussion forum? ;)

Thanks! I've always been a bit partial to Alpine White e46 m3's myself... I have dove gray vader seats, but I really want to throw in the Recaro SRD's from my '95 M3. They are black though, so I would have to get them recovered...

[M3_JOHN]

Sweet, I have a Dove interior also...Got anything done to your car?? Are you on DTM power forums? Theres a crap load of E36's running on that forum that live in this area, - John

My '95 was more aftermarket than BMW... The '99 is pretty stock for now, so far the only things worth listing are: Brembo 4 piston calipers, stainless steel brake lines, Hawk HPS pads, Euro E46 M3 cross cast 2 piece rotors, BBS RCJ wheels (18x8 front, 18x9 rear), Bridgestone SO3's 235/40/18 (f) and 255/35/18 (r), Blanton 3.46 race diff with 40% lock, Ben Fer Carbon Fiber intake... I am pretty sure I am going turbo, so I am holding off on doing any futher modifications. As for DTM power... I have been there since way before it was DTM, been a moderator there for about 5 years now. I have the same screen name there as I do here. Are you modded?

[M3_JOHN]

nice, are you going with the AA turbo? Am I modded?? LOL ... as we know the S54 is strung out and waiting to explode... nah j/k... I only have an AA exhaust right now... but have plans for headers + Section 1 + 2 , and software this summer. I got a intake lying in my garge that I'm too lazy to install. Hopefully after getting that all on, I can get superchips to custom tune my car. I really want to go with an AA supercharger but would rather wait until I put some more miles on my car before I completely void my warranty.

Meh, why not go Dinan blower? Only 15k!! :roll:

<- e36 m3 checking in, broly!

Well right now I am torn between going with the Techniques Tuning stage I kit... 340whp @ 8psi on an otherwise stock car. There is a lot more power to be had with the M50 intake manifold and a proper exhaust... Then I could always lower compression and run 12-14psi... OR I have been seriously thinking about selling the M3 and getting an STI.

I would imagine your M3 would be pretty fun once you opened up the intake and exhaust... not to mention how nice it will sound... I haven't really looked into the AA s/c for the e46, but I recall it yeilding some respectable numbers.

[M3_JOHN]

AA E46 Supercharger 8600 + labor.... 7.5 psi 410whp ....thats 500 at the crank :thumbup: Now if only I had 10,000 lying around. Time for a loan?!?!?

Yeah, sometimes I want to trade in my M3 for an STI/Evo and take the change and put it in the car, I'd have a 600hp car.

Dinan is soooooo overpriced... not worth it at all. And that goes for pretty much all their products.

in car and driver the AA m3 was in a supercar shoot out and it still ran a 13.1 with there supercharger

[stichris]

Was it an e36 or e46 chassis m3? e46 m3s run low 13s stock.

[M3_JOHN]

Yea theres a whole bunch of controversy over that Car and Driver shootout....but as far as I know, Alvarez, one of the technicians from AA said the car wasn't exactly running right...it was the E46 chasis. With the blower, the should easily run at least mid 12's. http://www.e46psi.com ...go and check out the vid of the pheonix yellow M3 on there...he pulls easy on BPU supra....not exactly track times, but, good for some reference.

1997 4 door m3 here. Only a few mods right now. 18" HP evo wheels, racing dynamic sway bars, H&R springs, In-dash DVD. Going for looks more than speed. If you want a crazy fast car a e36 m3 is not it IMO. Its just not worth the $$$$ to make it fast.

state street.....in front of the chevy dealer lot

follow the smell

[themadhatter]

hey fellas. '98 332is with a few toys over here. I'm a mod over on BFC (same SN) and just followed a link from a fellow member over there.

Matthew, if you'd like, I have a Technique Tuning Stage II setup sitting in boxes at my place waiting for me to get home and install it.

should be good for well over 420 at the wheel, a dyno will prove/disprove that when it's all said and done.

either way, AA is a waste of money since TT rolled out with it's own kits.

I can go into further detail but a new thread would be better appropriate for something as lengthy as E36 turbo solutions.

as for getting mo'powah, an E36 m3 is a superior choice over any other BMW ever produced.

I am not ready to turbo the car quite yet. My '95 M3 was ready, but I am basically starting over with the '99... I have the big brakes and massive rubber taken care of... Suspension is up next. Additionally while I am strongly considering Nick's kit, I want to wait to see what George at ICS comes up with.

George does great work but he has to completely modify the lousy AA kits that he starts with. AA's kits are over priced, under powered and their quoted power estimates are BULLS-.

from my own research, I went with a TT Stage II setup, you'll be seeing it on the road in about 3 weeks....should be fun.

I agree completely with your comments on AA, however it looks like ICS will be releasing their own kit in the near future.

I have looked into TT myself, and chances are I will wind up Nick's kit under my hood, but I still want to wait to see what else hits the market. Word around the campfire is, a decent number of turbo kits (and the twinscew) are about to get released for the E36...

As for your setup, you will have to give me a ride and let me check it out. I think it would help me to allocate a larger percentage of my income to my turbo savings account...

[themadhatter]

hopefully George does release an ICS branded kit. The AA setups that he's been dealing with are just not up to the competition any more - ie TT.

two twinscrews that we know of are coming up soon too, the AA/Stimpee kit and the Eurosport kit...when either will hit the market is still up in the air.

other turbo kits in the works? There are no others that I know of aside from Shoreline Motorsports but his kit is still a work in progress. Boostlogic has been talking for years now....

when ever you want, just hit me up after it's installed and properly broken in.

if you're gonna do FI, go turbo since you have plenty of room to grow with it.

i used to be friends with a guy with an estoril blue m3, now he has a white one... estoril is def. HOTTTT :supz:
