Yea but your are missing that the n54 is built as an FI car..tweaking boost settings is a far cry for boosting an NA platform

No, I get the point, I wasn't being sarcastic or anything of the sort if that's what you mean. I was just comparing the N54 to the B5 S4 and asking how tweaking the boost on our 335s would fare against the S4 in terms of reliability.

I dont think the n54 has engine problems, they are reliable. However they do have other problems. Hpfp, limp mode due to overheating, and turbo problems. But the engine itself is reliable.

I am afraid the cooling system, turobs, fuel pumps, plugs, injectors and limp mode issues are all part of the "engine"
In this m3 case I guess if say "other than the supercharger the engine was bullet proof!" |

The OP put a supercharger on an M3, you deserve what happened to you. Then he tried to blackmail the vendor. A year later he posts this on the forums. Does anyone else not find the OP to have zero credibility on those two points alone. Why did he wait so long? I personally believe he shifted into 3rd instead of 5th and blew the engine. You should stick to remote control cars.

See post #38 in this thread:
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=474525 So was it 198 mph on a dyno OR 190 mph on the street? Odd post if it was on a dyno... |

A company that makes good products and a jackass who blew his engine and wants to blackmail them.... Try and find anything else negative about AA on this forum.... I bet you'll have a hard time. drama drama drama.... no wonder AA doesn't post here anymore... In fact they pay good money to sponsor this forum so the Admin's in good faith should delete this thread all together |

everyone has their own biased stories including both AA and the OP...but to just take sides and blatantly point fingers is just absurd. come on guys...its just hard to explain everything in a forum especially when everything is getting heated up like this. i can see both sides and why they would not wanna take blame for this but to just say hey youre wrong is just wrong lol. also to everyone that says putting a SC on a NA car is dumb and the buyer should take all responsibilities is just plain stupid. the reason why america is such a great country is because of all the laws and rules so we dont continuously get scammed. think about it...if you bought this SC kit and they said its safe as long as keep it under the rev limit because they have done countless hours of R&D, then i would think it would be safe for at least 20k miles without failure of any kind (especially one that you buy for 16k dollars). but you have done everything right but your engine blows in 1200 miles like the OP's...now you are saying that you should be held liable for all damages? if this was the case you would see scams after scams and it would never end. every company out there would be trying to just take your money and leave...but because there are obligations for a company we have such good products. but in no way am i saying the OP is right...because maybe he did over rev which in turn would mean that he is completely at fault here and would not expect AA to even reimburse for the SC kit. but the fact that they did reimburse him for the kit (never found out what percentage of the kit was reimbursed) seems like they are admitting to fault somewhat. then again AA could have reimbursed for customer servive...anything is possible and we do not have all the information here and probably never will get the truth. for now since there is no way of knowing the complete truth lets keep the hate to a minimum. never know whos right and all im saying is stop taking sides please...both are right and wrong lol. and to be clear it seems that the OP is not trying to get his engine paid for according to his first post...just letting us know how much of scumbags they are at AA but again just reiterating OP's statement lol. ive personally never dealt with AA but since they have been in business for 30+ years they must be doing something right over there (you would think), so this would not discourage me from buying other products of AA...but probably not their SC kit.

I keep reading these post claiming FI on a NA car is just a mess up waiting to happen, that no one should be surprised this has happened, yadda, yadda, yadda.....so for all you guys/gals saying this.....I have one question: How many ESS-s/c'ed S65s have gone boom?

This is why dealerships don't treat us fairly......this is why BMW is on these forums.......because people are dishonest and break the law. Its why no tuner, will EVER TOUCH MY CAR......and if I ever did one day, and something goes wrong, I won't try to fool the dealership into paying for my gamble. Cheers, e46e92
