Hi Guys

Looking to upgrade the software on my E90 M3. Want to hear from owners which vendor they used and why. Please PM details.

Thanks

Software alone doesn't give you much pleasure on this already powerful car!

Why not consider something really exciting?

Go hard or go home :joy:

Software alone will make minimal difference. Why not consider a bundled deal? ECU, de-cat, custom exhaust, intake to start you off. Trust me, it makes a difference on a V8 :)

Yeah unfortunately on performance NA cars its difficult to squeeze out extra hp with just a tune.

Definately do i/h/e at minimal.

If I owned one I would be hesitant to touch it. Its actually perfect in every aspect.Its really special car on original trim. You just gona devalue the car and for a couple extra horses its not worth it.

I may just do an exhaust for a little more tone/growl! As far as Im concerned every V8 deserves an exhaust to give that engine justice. Way too quiet in stock trim.:rollsmile:

I have a hand held tuning kit by Evolve R. Check out the website below:rollsmile:

We have something adequate in stock but thats not the point here!
Even if you gain 10kw or 15kw you are not going to feel it :sleep:





@Sabretooth tiger
Thats the comment you expect from a tracktor driver when grown ups talk about real power :roflol:

Sorry couldn't resist so pls take it easy

just keep your old intake and swap it back on when you want to sell... then sell the charger separate :rollsmile:

Supercharging in the way to go but that's that last resort. Unless you're looking to just splash out on 200k and say bye bye to MP.

Maybe sw shows minimal gains on NA cars but the V8 M3 does really wake up with sw, providing you have a decent catless exhaust. If you got a good tuner and exhaust look at around 40wkw gain.

Intakes are useless on the e9x M3, for the amount of money you spend can't can't be justified by the small gain in power. Cams coupled with a pulley upgrade is great but those schrick cams are pricey.

Well.... if you go THAT far then why not convert it to y 4998cc (new crank and pistons)?

cams and exhaust wont void MP?

yes you will probably not feel the difference, but you see the difference when you raced against the stock:thumbs:

To be honest here, is it worth the money? IMHO, no, not on the NA car.
But what is it for anybody else to say is not worth the money? And im sure everyone would like to SC a V8, but seriously now... only a few has 200k to drop on a car for mod:yuck:

Rolf@promotec said:
Let me guess before he posts.... 120k ?

Exhaust and SW does not cost 120k:yuck:
