personal preferences: both of my c63s had lsd and 275/285 rubber at the rear, and i also had kw v3. for cornering, unless you can shave some weight from the m156 engine and redesign the chassis, w204 is no where close to e92 m3 weight distribution wise. m156 has too much torque (it will make the car less controllable around the corners), and the frontal part of the car is way too heavy. i even had long tube headers and a tune, my car was pretty loaded with light weight rotors and forged wheels. however, i still prefer the m3 that i am driving now, no matter daily or on the track. straight line performance, 0-60 /100, c63 is always quicker. one interesting thing about myself would be i used to fall asleep on the highway driving with the c63, but i have never taken a single nap with the m3, the m3 is more fun to drive. the gearbox on the w204 even the later mct is no where close to the performance of the m-dct. m156 has a more torque but isn't as useful and controllable in comparison to the linear torque from s65. sc is the only way to catch up with stock c63 in straight line performance. nos shots/ parts removal for weight reduction, drag tires w/ launch control maybe useful to stick up with c63 in straight line without the sc? |

335i's beat the M3 in a straight line in certain situations. So many cars pull hard on the current M3 in a straight line, but once you hit a corner the M3 shines. The M3 is a track car, plain and simple. If you want a drag racer, the M3 should not be your first choice. Where do people come up with this stuff?

If you look back at 08 , the M3 was as fast as any other cars in a straight , so why do you say it was not design for that also , you really think that being good at cornering must absolutly mean being bad in straigh !!? If the M3 is that much praised it's because it does everything good !! |

That is all I am saying. If you think the M3 is a drag racer, even with some mods, then you're in for a rude awakening.

Now thinking that I would buy a M3 if I wanted a drag racer is underestimating me a bit . Also I'm curious to know what better and cheaper options that would be beasts do I have If I'm shopping in the M3 segment a part from the C63 !? Last edited by Alex07M3; 03-30-2012 at 03:04 PM.. |

If you don't already know what cars are out there that will destroy the M3 in a straight line (because apparently the M was built for drag in your mind), then you are just beyond assistance.

I'm just saying that the M engineers certanly did not built the M3 to get beet on every highway or at the 1/4 mile track by it's rivals , it's at least as competent on straights as its rivals , expect for the C63 ! Last edited by Alex07M3; 03-30-2012 at 03:27 PM.. |

The Dinan software is smart enough to know if the engine is not getting enough air and it will reduce engine power to avoid overheating. So, if the car was not properly cooled on the dyno you will not get accurate results. Another reason that Dinan is a warranteed product, it is smart enough to protect itself.

If its worth anything, I consistently beat my buddy's 09 C63 AMG (no P30) 451hp.
I have Dinan intake, ECU, Akrapovic EVO thats it. Just gotta make sure I get the right gear, and depending on speed, his torque might hold me back a bit, but I'll eventually pull ahead noticeably. Thinking about getting the Dinan Pulley and going catless, anyone have advice/experience? It just feels weird to beat AMG in a straight line with a M lol... maybe my buddy will make his AMG out handle my M and we can have a role reversal

with those mods, how much power are you putting down? You're telling us from any gear you're taking down the 63? |
