2. Do your rod bearings. Doesnt give you more HP, just keeps you from sending a piston into the atmosphere ($2,300)
3. DCT Tune ($500)
4. Corsa Exhaust ($1800)

So all in, youre $14-15k and you will likely get smoked by a new mustang GT with full bolt on. If you bought this car to be the fastest, youre going to be extremely disappointed. I have a supercharged M3, and while i know its definitely not the fastest, I think it is one of the cleanest, and most timeless looking cars on the road. The exhaust note is by far one of the greatest sounds produced by a car, and the interior and driving experienced it almost unmatched (especially for $30k price point). Im sure i will catch quite a bit of flack for this, but the DCT trans is a blast to drive as well. I love this car.

But if you want speed and speed only, trade the M3 for a z06 Corvette, and then invest in some jean shorts and some white new balances.
I dont know about you, but I take a little pride in NOT driving the same thing as everyone else in my town that can get 84 month financing for the newest v8 mustang/camaro/challenger/charger.
Lol this is gold. #threadover
