Wow those corner workers are lucky!

Would 3 series turbos fit on the 5er? I mean it's one thing if the issue is getting the cores (relatively easy) and another if the 3 series turbos wouldn't fit for some reason

The TT-RS launch control does look like fun. Likely very similar to the Porsche launch control, which offers similarly stupid fast 0-60 times.

If you look at the 5-60mph times, the 1M beats the...

If the beta maps weren't working out why not report the problem to Vishnu and go back to using the last full release maps?

It's a strange world where a huge numbers of users are running "beta"...

For GT-R/Z06 money ($90-100k), I'll take a supercharged M3 and a motorcycle!

It's awesome to see such a comprehensive set of dynos! :eusa-clap:

Thanks to everyone at ETS.

The gains with just tuning and bolt ons are truly amazing on these cars.

FWIW, I just got done with a track weekend with an instructor who previously owned a 335i.

He recommended Bilstein PSS10s as the best suspension setup for this car. Turner motorsports seems to...

+1 AWD has much higher drivetrain losses compared to RWD. Transmission is not as much of a factor (if the MT driver knows what he's doing) but AWD is a disadvantage on highway pulls.

I wonder how HPFPs do on E15 :think:

Go for the LSD. This car never should have been sold without at least an optional LSD.

I think the stock sport suspension handles great and is very comfortable. I imagine you are going to add a...

Fuel efficiency standards are certainly going to change things for Mercedes as well as BMW.

It's going to be hard to get away selling big displacement V8s that get 10 mpg in real world driving. ...

Even Miatas are about 2500lbs. 2200 lbs would require some serious aluminum/cf.

This would be very fun on a track with a tuned 1.6.

Performance is a lot more than throwing the biggest engine you can find in your smallest car (not saying it isn't fun. It's a classic combo from shelby cobras to GTOs).

BMW is still the top dog...

Damn it does sound like an STI.

Any codes??

It's only 15 psi with the throttle partially closed (when it's overboosting). When the boost is on target it's right around 13 psi

I feel like a lot of people are projecting their dream tune on COBB without understanding how the DME works.

It will be clarifying to see stage 2/3 tunes. Then we will be able to see if COBB...

If only they understood what wastegate duty cycle means :)

445HP is pretty good. So is 12.8s @ 109mph in a big heavy sedan...

I particularly enjoy the 328i non sport owners wondering how to lower their cars and add turbos. Hmm, maybe buy a 335i with a sport package! One reason I love my car is I finally feel like I DON'T...

It's amazing how many cylinder 6 failures there have been in the past 4 years...:think:

LOL. Just saw the tags for this thread: annoying, bimmerpost, dumb, idiots, retards

That about sums it up!

I'm generally more inclined to help whoever is asking questions but this crap is out...

For some reason the quality of the threads has gone way way down. The damn thing is just filled with noobs asking how to change maps or offering idiotic theories of turbocharger operation.

I...

If you thought that was annoying, check out this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=476863

I think that's the trick. Don't involve vendors. Just get a few guys with different tunes together.
