I hear some absolute hogwash about our gains & so on from uninformed halfwits.
OK so forget the dyno's, forget all the bull. Here's video's of 2 M3's running 5 days apart on the same track. Ary ran on Sunday during the day, the other M3 ran Friday night in less than 10 deg ambients.
Bear in mind the exit speeds go up 3-5km/h at night for an M3. Traps much higher at night.
Both cars have decatt, only difference is software. The SMG in the video had 3 runs all trapping exactly the same at 158km/h. Which is in line with a stock E46 trapping around 155km/h up here during the day.

Our car trapped 166km/h, during the day. Can't hide from the traps.
So now, what's the story? Rigged or what? I'm hearing bullsh1t stories about the gains not being real or whatever, when we have the owner of the car here. I hear you can reset some values with BMW tools and the car can gain 24hp but it loses it over time. What carp is that? No-one reset anything. The cars were tuned and run the times everywhere.
Next point. Yanks can't gain those gains. So no-one can. Who gives a flying fvck what te Yanks gain? We gaining more than them. Even on the C63's me & Mo have been working on recently, the gains are more than the Yanks. Our V10's run faster than yanks. Our manual E9x M3's run the same times as the fastest manual M3's. If they can't do it, doesn't mean it can't be done.
But here is the real killer. Yanks have a different spec M3 to us. Due to the strict emission laws in California, they have to have primary catts integrated into the branches. Huge restriction in the most important part of the exhaust.
US Spec branch:
Euro spec branch:
So what do the Yanks do? They sell the Euro spec branch as an aftermarket mod. So the branch we get as standard on our cars, they sell in the US as a mod. Evosport, for example:
And they getting like 30whp on the wheels fitting our headers on their cars!
So now, can anyone tell me why the Yanks can't gain what we are getting? Can one tune a car with 2 ovens in the branches? Those catts are retaining heat causing ignition retard. And they are restrictive.
European spec cars don't have catts in the branches and hence have a much free-er flowing, cooler running system & the tuning we do is not hindered by their setbacks.
So the moral of the story, is don't go comparing what gains we get to the Yanks as they have a different goddam car to us.
We are gaining on the dyno & the road. And that is the truth. We shall continue to prove it.
