waiting forthe new m3 from down the street to hurry up and break in his engine. The dealer told him 4000 mi before redlining it.

Wow 400 hp - at the wheels?? Seems hard to believe - the stock curve looks like it peaks at the stock flywheel rated 282 hp. Gordon, you're not challenging all FDs in the NE area - just the mild ones, right - I'll be up at KD on July 23rd getting some hybrid non-seq twins installed. Getting dynoed then on Aug 13th - Dave's pretty stoked about the upgraded NS twins since he's only done a few of them - I'll run you on the highway up there - your 540i that is..... ..you can leave your FD at home.

you are questioning the E46 M3's reliability, yet you have an FD. am i missing something here?

and dont bring up the engine falure subject, since that was only regarding cars that were build in a certain timeframe.

Cool Don't forget the...

2002 M COUPE... it's all about power to weight ratio not so much the black and white. So far I've gotten my wife's car to a 12.75 @ 109mph. Now just imagine when I start going to a high flow system (Dinan). Oh don't tease me. I LOVE BOTH CARS, they have class, style and is one of kind.


see ya,
