Before everyone shits their pants, has anyone seen the thing installed? I only see photos of a stock car on winter wheels, a teaser video of what sounds to be a supercharged car, and a dyno sheet with some numbers. And there's another company in Europe that came out with a supercharger for the M3 last year.

the super does a nice job on the tq boosting it up to 370 lbft, tho its not really flat which, in my opinion, is better because then it acts more like an ///M engine

550 whp? Don´t think so. But in any even, AA has not posted dynos yet.

are we assuming these high power kits won't be for the DCT ?

That would be a safe assumption.

I believe it's just stock!

I don't see why not. They we're able to do it in a very short time with the E46 M3's SMG tranny

Pre-production product will always look a bit crude.

ZStig · 01-08-2009, 02:51 PM

looks like fun

chris719 · 01-08-2009, 03:11 PM

SMG in the E46 is a very different transmission than the DCT. In fact, I think I read that the old SMG literally consisted of the regular 6MT + hydraulic clutch, etc. You will notice that the Evo X SST gearbox has a very low max torque rating, and it would seem the GTR DSG also has problems handling the power it generates, so I highly doubt the DCT will be able to handle as much power as the 6MT.

JMD0977 · 01-08-2009, 03:47 PM

An F/I M3 at 6 psi will put down about 550HP and 500Nm or 368.7 Lbs tq.
And the DCT can take upto 440 Lbs or 596.5 Nm. I dont see a problem.
