Thanks Mon, hoping one would fit a Xi, can you imagine going from 18.2 to 12.5?

There's 2 or3 I know that hit 11's at 140+. I'll do some digging. The fastest 60-130 m3 being one of them.

speaking of MS's time we are using here's a little food for thought. The average manual car driver: 500 ms - 1 scitation needed] The fastest (Race gearbox) manual: 250 mscitation needed] Aston Martin Vanquish: 250 ms BMW M3 E36 with SMG I: 250 ms BMW M5 E60 with SMG III: 250 ms Ferrari 575M: 280 ms Audi TT Quattro 3.2 (Direct Shift): 200 ms Lexus LFA: 200 ms Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale & Ferrari F430: 250 ms Enzo Ferrari: 150 ms Ferrari FXX: Under 100 ms Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: 100 ms Nissan GT-R R35: 200 ms BMW M3 E92 with M-DCT: 80 ms Ferrari 430 Scuderia & FXX Evoluzione: 160 ms Bugatti Veyron (Direct Shift): 8 ms Alfa Romeo Mito & Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2010) Dual Dry Clutch Transmission TCT: 8 ms I call BS on the GTR's time I heard it was well under 100ms

No worries. I don't take the interwebz too seriously. I misinterpret posts daily when I plug away from the phone.

vasillalov Give Rich at the rackdoctor a call (843)-933-4045. He has 335 racks in stock and I am sure he can source you an E9X rack for compatibility comparison although one is not appearing on the website. I received a ton of BAD internet and keyboard warrior dis-information performing this swap on my 46M last year and I almost dropped the idea. Albeit a different chassis you are trying to perform the same swap. I went with a ZHP rack (13.7:1 or 3.0 Turns to Lock) from the OE 46M (15.4:1 or 3.5 Turns to Lock) and couldn't be happier. Instantly the car is more athletic and I have tried many combinations of coilovers, swaybars, and a variety of mounts/bushings in 5+ years of ownership. Best suspension/handling upgrade - PERIOD. The car feels like it shed weight. Seriously. Rich was extremely helpful throughout the process and the pricing was excellent ($260 with core). He is also a bimmer nut with a stable of Z3's of various power levels. At the very least, he could tell you if they physically bolt up. Good luck, Mike

Thanks Bro!

Sorry, you don't have enough rep for something like this to be your first post. It reeks of advertising. Have the shop contact me: admin@germanboost.com

Belonging to whom?

Trap speed record is 145- 150 or iirc.

Who has the trap speed record for the E46 M3? Is that Marcus?

Kenton is the infamous reverse sandbagging Imola Stage 2.75 who shook your hand at the Max PSI event apparently. His car is well sort out for sure. I really admire the attention to EVERY detail both he and Marcus take. Should be fun for all.

I met @Commanderwiggin at Bimmerfest in front of the Max PSI tent. Said I was Sticky and shook his hand and he just sort of didn't say anything, was weird. What does his put down? @ZooyorQ is a fairly cool dude so I wouldn't mind although I would enjoy beating him. Who is Kenton? That will be a separate article/race.

^^ repped! Nice find!

Lol. I had to re read what you said originally. My bad I'm tired. Loooooong day. As far as data goes I was just talking in terms of smg vs manual.

Congratulations! What are the motor specs?

Commanderwiggin and ZooyorQ are the likely candidates. I am not sure if Marcus' car is running yet but Kenton's car seems to break hearts at these events even when he reverse sandbags! If we could get a VTT STage 3 and a Vishnu ST in the mix that would be epic albeit a pipe dream.

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing this come together.

Nobody claimed an AA stage II car running high 9's @ 130. The claim has been all along that the M3 is capable of 11's with bolt ons which it has achieved and clearly is possible. Sorry basic math and basic reading reading comprehension blows your mind.

LOL is right...

I set records and Famoaos and Sac, both of which I drag raced on. Famoso was the quicker strip btw, crazy eh? Have you drag raced on both? And the strip was re-calibrated before any of these runs so what are you talking about? And it was the trap speed that read fast, not the ET. Maybe you will accept that eventually. Right, which is why my car is at the forefront of the platform.

That's what Road and Track hit with a 6-speed manual in Germany in cold air. It's on their site and there was a guy on m3post who did 12.5 or 12.6 I think. Regardless, the E46 M3 ran a 12.7 stock so I don't know what to tell you if think the E92 M3 can't.
