I was actually dealing with Edmonton BMW for a month or two before I finally pulled the trigger on my M3. The parts rep was pretty gungho when the sales rep asked him to show me the Dinan 335i. I really want to see the guy that actually spends $80K on that when he can have an M3 instead. they were really pushing me to make an offer.

I've though about spanking second set for the shoulder season in the fall since winter never really gets mad till december at least. I just need a place to hide all the rims |

ECU is at AA and getting programmed.
They will not modify RPM limiter. I skipped the Launch Control too. Should be back in Etown tomorrow. Looking good for progress so far, AA has awesome customer service!! |

Did you pull your ECU yourself? I don't know if I trust myself with such a vital piece of equipment. I'm still weighing my options but I'm very tempted to go AA. Maybe pull the ECU, and send it off and put on pulleys. Go on vacation for a few days, come back home and put it back in. This way I don't feel so bad about having a car dead in the water for a week.

It is not as bad as you think and they have complete step by step instructions on the AA website you can download and print. That is what I did and gave it to the body shop. |

If turn around time is less then one business week, I'd be very interested in going with AA over the Dinan one. Plus at least with the AA, there seems to be a level of customization available. Seems like the Dinan one is a safe blanket software alternative.

50 hp is prob what I'll shoot for with all the bolt ons, I have the Eisenmann Sport exhaust so that might be a little restrictive but I got the rest of the AA play toys. |

I'm still on the fence about doing the launch control. But I guess the downside is that you can't turn it off. And I second the customer service.

OK, kiddies...time to unleash this beast from the dealership tomorrow.
As I mentioned earlier, time to unveil the last secret ingredient to this new M3 - Eric from Eclipse Motors in Southern California is here to detail my M3 at Edmonton BMW tomorrow. He is going in bright and early to make the M sparkle. I told him I was going to let the guys here know and if anybody wants to stop by and talk detailing with him, he said he would be happy to chat. For anyone not familiar with his work, check this out: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=239832 I'll be coming in around 12:30pm. If any of you fellow modfools happen to make it there, I would look forward to meeting you. Harbuksh |

Because the eibachs actually lower the car and it is less than half the price! Haha, looking at the dinan lowered cars I can't even tell the difference. Today the M is a 4X4 no longer! The eibachs look amazing, an even drop which really sets the car off! That stupid gap at the front is finally gone.
On another note the installer at Karmac did not feel comfortable doing the escort system He is going to try on a friends car before mine so I might have to go to FXaudio who sounds great but wants 1g and 2 days to install a system that can be done in a half a day by most it seems (aka pencilgeeks)! Oh ya, but if I would have gotten them I would already be a Dinan car now! |
