Prove otherwise or STFU.

In the meantime, (1) I don't post about your turbo project in every thread...I don't care about it that much and (2) you will also notice that I have been posting that I hope it works out for you.

I have nothing against you, your products, or your company. So, if you wish to act like a petulant child, that's on you not on me.

Well, there have been a few 335i's that have dynoed 550whp.

Not on pump gas. That means no meth/nitrous and no fuel system upgrades.

Eugene-TAIWAN · 12-14-2010, 06:21 PM

seems that everyone is still some time away from an off the shelf kit.

supracg · 12-14-2010, 06:58 PM

I think AR will come out with something soon enough, it sucks but any updates from them just get critiqued out the wazoo. So I would go silent too until my kit is done. But umm, AR don't take your time, were getting anxious here

Dj_Frost · 12-14-2010, 10:24 PM

It's prob still a year away and not below 15k IMO

I don't post about it in every thread, but if exagerrating helps you feel better, go for it

We have not run out of fuel. How do you want me to prove it, LOL?

I'm tired of people like you spreading misinformation. Not sure how that translates to being petulant in your mind. *shrug*.

I personally, love it when people spread misinformation. It seems to be the only way we can get a smidget of information from the companies developing products. We're just itching to hear more information. Its like we're some horny guys in a ratty strip club. Can we at least smell it?

600 rwhp with built motor and trans is my hope.

The car they have is not on warranty or lease, it's my car! And yes I miss it.

bimmerboy · 12-15-2010, 12:48 AM

honestly the target audience (us N54 owners) is way too scared about their warranty as well as doing any real wrenching on their car, and i'm sure companies weigh this when looking to spend thousands of time+money on a turbo kit that maybe 2% of the enthusiast n54 community would actually follow through with.

I see it as a catch 22

AR seems like the only company that isn't blowing smoke up our ass... props!

agreed, im a fully bolted and still have a full warranty for another 54k miles.

If they choose to void it, so be it....I cant expect them to cover plugs, coils...etc forever. NOW the HPFP, thats a diff story. That needs to be kept for obvious reasons.

Yep! That's exactly what I am thinking as well. The only time I consider going to the stealership for warranty is for the HPFP. Also, they can only void the engine warranty, not the warranty on the entire car. So if I need other work done, say replacing bad passenger occupancy sensor, then I dare the SA to give me crap about warranty

You guys are abnormalities

Most n54 enthusiasts want a PnP piggyback and MAYBE meth, and are happy campers... The less messing with the engine, the better....

Just to be clear, there is NOTHING wrong with that! It just doesn't help our case when it comes to turbo kits and other more complex modifications..

When i got my car, I was hoping for as much after-market support as the supra... I know, wishful thinking.... One can dream right

Hopefully the 1M will help spark our cause

ETS Michael · 12-17-2010, 02:59 AM

2011.. 2011.. That's all I can say right now. It's going to be a good year for the N54.

That's because they are mostly a bunch of whining pussies......... oh no my warranty! My proceed value went down cause of the new vin lock. Lots of pansy bullshit members with BMWs. IMHO

Vendors got their work cut out for them in here.

Will335i · 12-17-2010, 11:42 AM

Or they don't know how to do any work on their car so they need the warranty to take care of anything.

That said it is nice to have one for that same reason when you don't have the time or the facilities to do the work.

Now back on topic, HPF where are you at?! I love your exhaust and I'm sure the turbo kit will make stupid power. Give an update on either. I might have to find a new exhaust if this takes too much longer.

I did it to be safe, I think my dealership understands this. If you are running a tune with meth and everything else is stock....I feel sorry for that car. You are putting a lot of stress on all of the other parts.

What you have to realize is that the N54s are now coming down in price pre-owned and also out of warranty so there will be a good market for enthusiast looking to pick up a used 335 or ready to go big turbo on their ride and enjoy like new again.. Without only having the option of picking up an old E46 M and doing the same thing.. Patience is the key.. It took a while for a HPF to release their turbo for the E46 M. I think the 1M coupe definitely will help and speed up the development. 2011 should be a great year for our platform.. Knock on wood..
