What is the best performance upgrade you can buy with $6000

What is the best performance upgrade you can buy with $6000???

(Preferably one single upgrade... not a bunch together like exhaust intake flash etc. that add up to $6000)

Nawaaz · 10-01-2009, 01:17 PM

ummmm......Full exhaust system maybe?

Yet that should make you land much less than $6k, unless you go for something like the Akrapovic full system, which is around $5-6k I believe.

DevJ · 10-01-2009, 01:33 PM

That's kinda random. You can't really get a lot of power for $6000 with only one upgrade.

I agree with Nawaaz, get a full exhaust.

Yeah, I'd rather to all the basic mods together so that it will combine to add a huge punch.

Heck, all my mods in my sig add up to about $6k, and that's pretty reasonable (or reasonably expensive I should say

)

Keep saving your money guy and get a Super Charger one shot $$$$$$ one kill .......... ESS ............ VF ........... AA ............ AAAAHHHhhhhh ............. hhhmmmm ......... "G Power" !!!

endofanera7 · 10-01-2009, 01:56 PM

agree with shady1, save another 6k and get a supercharger

sales@ESSTuning · 10-01-2009, 01:59 PM

Rumor has it there will be a low cost entry level Supercharger for the E9X M3 very soon that makes nice power

john@wickedparts · 10-01-2009, 01:59 PM

I vote for chip and exhaust.

Nate@IND · 10-01-2009, 02:05 PM

What's up Mikey. How have you been?

I saw save up for an SC for sure. There will be some very nice kits out soon.

J08M3 · 10-01-2009, 02:18 PM

Um no.. You're about $10k too high bud.

Ryan(e92) · 10-01-2009, 02:39 PM

He's saying you'll have to buy a new engine when it blows up I think. Either way his numbers are way off. A new M3 engine is over 30k if my memory is accurate.

+1 yes you will be buying a new engine.... I didn't realize it was over 30k for a new engine... I guess SC, then new engine after it blows puts you well over $30k

yes I read the thread, and I'm aware they are paying for fix....

Just adding a little sarcasm/warning to the thread

Jonmartin · 10-01-2009, 02:50 PM

Then I guess no one should buy a s/c cause its happened to everyone. Not just G-power.

I doubt for the E92 M3 because they are still too new. However if you go to the e46 forums, every single tuner has had S/C cars blow at some point. It's just a part of the game.

Or (not really performance mod way),
decent set of wheels, exhaust, flash
