04 E55 vs 03 E46 M3

my buddy who has a beautiful m3 keeps talking about how he beats AMG cars all day long. Well it was time to put this M3 in its place!

04 E55: L.E.T Tune
03 M3: UD pulleys, Headers, Intake, Exhaust, and tune

First run

50-120
gave the M3 the hit, we were dead even till about 80 and I ended up about 10 cars ahead around a 120ish.

Intermission

Now time for the Excuse: "I hit the rev-limit man lets do it again"

Ending

60-140mph
Now three honks were gone. Once again I am about a fender ahead till 80 then this car put a smile on my face! It was accel n so hard I thought I was on a roller coaster! at a 120 he was about 15-20 cars back haha.

Comments

M3- Yea your car is fast, but I beat stock ones though and your not.
Me- All I have is a tune, but you got raped.

Nice Mirz.

Sounds like that "Jerry Tune" is working great for you. When you & Jerry left to test it out, I said "He'll be smiling when they get back."

Nice kill. He must be confusing "bolt-ons" and thinking he has "forced induction". Slaughtered.

just for the record a E55 tune without a pulley, really doesnt add much.. maby 10RWHP+

if the E55 had a pulley and ECU, it would be even worst.

nice job!

keep it safe.

I know i can't wait to get the rest of my goodies! but I think a tune is great bang for the buck. I know in my Goat a tune netted me 18whp when it was stock.

It depends who's ECU work you are using. And for acceleration, its all about the torque.

Nice kill...... good job sending him home to lick his wounds and come up with more excuses!
