okay well it hasnt taken long for people to fuck with this car…
539rwhp with just tuning???
guy used a fair bit of ethanol here though too.
seems like the way these things are dynoing that with a few bolt ons and good tuning you’ll be 550rwhp / 580-00rwtq next year and reliably.

Those numbers are solid I hate how BMW guys run these stupid E85 blends.
DoS made something like 480-490 on a E85 mix with a 335i and bolt ons for comparison to the N54

Without upgrading the fuel system typically running 100% e85 the stock fuel system won’t be able to deliver enough, that’s why. Now if they can adapt the GM flex fuel sensor to the car like I had with the ability to “auto tune” based on ethanol quality, that would be niiiiiice. Really liked that set up on my car when I had it, no guess work and ethanol quality around here does suck.
I just saw some of these on autotrader for as low as $75000. Hmmm.

What does it trap? Dyno numbers are meaningless.

they aren’t meaningless, they’re pretty good indicators… no trap times or 1/4 times as far as i know of but i’ll update when they are available.

Funny how the front flare can look so right and the rear one looks so fucking stupid.
I was thinking the rear looked silly as well

I think the M3 rear flare looks good right from BMW. I think when you look at the 335i vs. the M3 there is a much bigger change than the 435i vs. M4

It’s a fantastic M car. I drove AJ’s for a bit. Can’t wait to see what it’s like with some mods.

I haven’t. But hopefully will be in a few weeks, one of my friends did Euro delivery and is just waiting for it to get back off the ship now.
