Make a long story short, I had some fun with one on the freeway and at a few red lights, guy said to me at one of the lights, "what in the hell do you have in that thing". I told him and he said that it was very impressive and he could not believe how fast it was. Damm that felt good lol. Then I smashed a M3/e92 on the freeway on the way home.

Nice, but then your 43 is not really in a standard tune

If you dont mind me asking.. How much does a fella need to budget to do what you did?

Probably a wagon of $$$$$

well if you know people which I do, it can cost you a lot less when it comes to labor. If you really want to do what I did it will cost you $17k to about $20K. I put out about $20k. exp: you could just tune the block with bolt on stuff and it will cost about $12K for about 350 rwhp. Or you could rebuild the block with a charger for about $18-$22k and have 700 rwhp.

thanks for the honest answer.. i had guessed maybe $15-20k.. All things considered if you love the stealthy w202 packaging its not that crazy. You could spend $30k on a used stock 335i be more noticeable, generic & slower. Tell me did you beef up transmission, axles, diff, etc? (sorry if this has been discussed someplace)

1999 C43 AMG = $6500

everything needed for 436 RWHP = $20k

hanging with $90k+ cars on the freeway @ WOT = PRICELESS

like he said

I wonder if a 6.3 V8 could be shoehorned inside forgetting about the electronics involved? Perhaps with a different steering box (rack) and a beefy rear diff. Waiting for the lottery results
