How badly would I get beaten?

Scimitar335i · 10-14-2008, 07:16 AM

My Car:
2007 e90 335i step 25k miles stock boost w/ AFE Intake

Cousins Car:
2003 e46 M3 6spd non-smg Coupe 75k miles
K&N CAI
Dinan Software
Borla Exhaust

Just want to know how badly I would get beaten or If it would be close? My butt dyno tells me we are equal. Anyone had any experiences with the e46 m3s?

why are you still on stock boost?

Scimitar335i · 10-14-2008, 08:23 AM

probably gonna get a sstt soon..

You wouldn't get badly beaten, but he should be able to beat you if he's a good driver. I've owned an E46 M3 before and you have to drive it like to stole it to get the real performance out of it...

Scimitar335i · 10-14-2008, 08:29 AM

he's probably midway between good and average. we're not gonna race but hypothetically speaking i was just curious...

You'll deff. lose i dont know by how much but you'll lose...why dont u get jb3 or something..

Scimitar335i · 10-14-2008, 09:26 AM

i think a SSTT would be good for me. dont want to even touch the ecu box. I have been reading up on the SSTT and I will def. give it a try due to it's power increase/reliability/and ease...

BES335xi · 10-14-2008, 09:29 AM

Okay..i had SSTT it was good for the time that i had it, but mark my words once you get SSTT you'll love it for a few months..After that you're going to want more power. and eventually u'll end up getting another tune. It happened to the most of us, maybe not you, but i really highly doubt it.

GL with whatever u decide.

Get a used JB2 for a fraction of the price of a SSTT. It'll pull like a mother..

if you do a roll from 40 to 120+ you will loose by 3-4 car lengths.

i dont know what a tune can add to the m3 but when i was stock i ripped an e46 pretty badly 40-130

maybe the mods he has will give him an advantage? not sure...
