it was rolling on 2nd gear 70km/h(45mph) this what the M3 wanted,when we did it on 1st gear 40km/h directly the E55 pulled the M3 3car length(because M3 has to shift to 2nd gear)

cornfed gtr and m3
You are talking about two very different cars, an e46 m3 vs an e92 m3. The gearing not to mention the dct of the newer m3 is a huge advantage over the e55s. An ess 625 m3 is a low to mid 500s whp car with a transmission that shifts brutally fast. This was a great kill for the e55.

I think your dyno is very kind to you
![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Just a very quick reference on dyno jets:
- Stock 410-430whp
- Pulley tune 440-470 (based on size, but bigger = more power, faster heat soak)
- with TB and Headers (LT)/ exhaust work your around 490-530 whp
your telling me you have as much power as a pulley, TB, LT header/exhust and tune car

This car platform is not new by a long shot, so it is very highly unlikly, but hey so long as you are having fun
