This kit is simply amazing; all the M3 should be equipped from the factory!

Many thank's to Tunerworks in Calgary, Roman and Hans at ESS.

congrats and that particular kit is more pleasant to drive than the higher HP versions , power is well balanced and is more usable , took forum members Studentloans car for a spin and i was extremely impressed. But he is cat-less and has a 4.10 diff but either way that thing is fun to drive..

Sounds like you've driven various flavors... would you care to elaborate? Your experience is priceless for those who are trying to decide on a kit.

congrats on the kit!! although i have no first-hand experience with any of the kits, the VT1-535 definitely seems like the best value for power.

i like that "BMW M Power" touch.

Thank you guys and I appreciate all your kind words. I probably should have done a year ago, but I was not psychologically ready for my M3 receives an intubation and lung transplant. That being said, the result is up to my expectations, the character of the car is quite similar to what we knows of a M3, but past 4000 rpm, this is not the same car ... fantastic!

Jaypod · 04-06-2011, 09:43 AM

Congrats on the kit. Enjoy!

You're right about that. Once you hit 7k it pulls like freight train!

Really like what you did with the manifold.

Glad you like it

Thank you!

At 8000rpm it's feel more like a TGV...

jeff@autocouture · 04-06-2011, 08:26 PM

Around 3900-4100 you feel the kit start to pull like a little twitch
