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...

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 · 03-08-2005, 05:20 PM

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.

stichris · 03-09-2005, 01:28 AM

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

<- 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 · 03-09-2005, 02:34 AM

AA E46 Supercharger 8600 + labor.... 7.5 psi 410whp ....thats 500 at the crank

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 · 03-14-2005, 11:16 PM

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

M3_JOHN · 03-15-2005, 05:09 PM

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.
