ANY F/I solutions (packages) available for E46 M3's yet !?!??

...I mean that car (as great as it is in its factory-stock form) has been out for more than long enough for aftermarket tuners to pump out F/I kits for it (if it were feasilble)...

...unfortunately I think E46 M3's owners are "SOL" when it comes to getting more power without having to spend an enormous amount of money for an engine rebuild (lower compression) and a stand alone engine management system.

...does anyone else have any word or experience on a high-po "F/I" E46 M3 ??

Evosport is coming out with a package. 460-500 rwhp. I would speak with Brad about that.

ESS's kit states "under development" (like u stated) which is NO help because these various tuners have been saying that BS for years now yet have produced nothing. ...And who's brad? What's his company? (not to sound derogatory in anyway) I don't know many members on this fine forum

I have yet to see or hear ANYTHING about a kick-a$$ F/I equipped E46 M3 to date

Would really like to know.

active is working on a supercharged too. Just got back from Miami today (picked up my car) and they were waiting for the intercooler to come in the next week or so.

Only option out there for S54 FI is RMS kits so far.

Do they have a functional kit produced ? What are the details ? Is there a link or webpage that shows an F/I E46 M3 ? I haven't seen or even heard of any such thing.

Dado, do you have any other details about AA's potential new kit ? When can we expect to see it in production ?? If it's anything like their rotex-based intercooled kits for E36's it'll be great!

Initially, RMS went through a lot of trouble during R&D period (I've been there...). But once they started making their production version of it, I have not heard any complaints so far from other owners. And so far there are only about handful of FIed S54s out there, I think.

My Stage II includes:
Of course the Vortech Charger
Head gasket to lower the CR to 10.6
Aluminum intake manifold with integrated dual aftercooler core
6 additional injectors integrated into the intake manifold
Boost varies depending on what you ask for.
Mine intially ran 11 psi, targeting 450 rwhp.
But I reduced it 9 psi for safety now.
There are a LOT more to it than what is mentioned here (including piggy back systems), so if you would like to know it in detail, you could send me an email or send an email to RMS.

www.racemarque.com is the website.

by what I saw it will be pretty much the same setup and the intercooler seems to be larger.

...is that a joke ? Do you have this installed on a E46 M3 (topic of the thread) ??

...I'm talking about a "REAL" and permanent FI solution...not bursts like NOS or this gorified hair dryer on steriods, ROFL
