500 hp
Quote:
P.S. I have done all of those things to my E36 (less cat elimination) and it is simply too much, just like the go cart stiff aftermarket suspension I've done. All my engine mods should have got me about 50 hp. My 0-60s are fair but the G tech doesn't show nearly as many ponies as I expect.... |

For the M5 they have already made 50rwhp more horses out of an ECU tune along with headers and cams and exhaust. I am talking BHP not RWHP. to get 500 rwhp would be about 550-575bhp which would be crazy!
About the ECU, we dont know all the details about the new system but I wouldnt believe it would be too far off from the M5 & M6 software. alot of what we are saying is pure speculation and theory. Only time will tell what will be possible. If we still disagree then to each his own |

Fair enough.
Just one more thing though: if we don't see 500hp M3s within 6 months of release then I guess we can agree it wasn't "easy" after all, no? Or heck lets be generous. We'll give it 9 months for the 500hp naturally aspirated m3s to start popping up. Sound good? Cheers |

Guys, if you want to look at the aftermarket upgrades for the new M3, look no further than the M5 and M6. The V8 in the M3 is supposed to be based off of the M V10 (but it looks like it might be tuned even more aggressively). I don't know much about tuned M5s and M6s but I haven't seen one hit the 1/4 mile under 12 seconds yet or go over 575hp.

Sorry, I was talking about staying n/a. No turbos, no superchargers, no N20. I should have elaborated.

Perhaps you should read what Shiv actually does. It's not all about psi, matter of fact he stated that boost did very little in his tune. |

There is no way that just by making the tune a bit more aggressive, feeding more fuel, or advancing time, etc that this car will be increased by no than 20hp. Probably around 12hp increase is realistic.
