The white E30 in the second pic looks damn near identical to mine except I painted my lip black to match the splitter

The 325 is a trip to see in person, especially with the trailer:

great event, although it was a scorcher, impressed the power the cars were putting down in 90 degree+

I probably gained like 10 lbs from the burgers *yum

22 back-to-back BMW runs on our in-house Dynojet 224xLC during our Dyno Shootout to see who took home top honors for highest HP that day.



Runs are in chronological order as per our signup sheet.

Enjoy!

i feel like some of the cars didn't make as much power as they were supposed to. for example, the full rpi with bpm tune only made ~360hp...

My theory is that that the S65B40 and MSS60 DME are just very tricky to consistently dyno. I could almost bet that these cars with similar bolt ons, but different brands, will perform very similar in acceleration despite brands and dyno numbers. Just a theory though...

Looking at every 100% stock E9X M3 on the forums, they can vary as wide as 40+whp. I doubt BMW is that inconsistent

M3 uses the MSS60 DME, M5 is equipped with MSS65.

Final numbers can be attributed to a number of variables, including conditions, fuel, maintenance, etc. We've seen some stock M3s dyno as low in the low 300s, and some as high as 365whp.

Sorry about that, I keep making that typo haha

Thank you for clarifying as well! I couldn't agree with you more.

This looks amazing, and those are some of the most beautifully modded M3's I have seen thus far. Amazing work.

I do have one question, and I apologize for being a n00b but I might as well ask here:
Given that the M3 is supposed to have 414hp, why are the numbers so low? All the M3's are modded to some degree and yet are in the mid 300's unless they have superchargers, is that power that was lost over time, or is this a different measurement?

Be gentle haha..
