Pretty impressive for a bolt on kit with stock exhaust.

With 11.5 compression race gas is a must at 13psi. I think it makes around 500whp on 91.

Holy guacamole $16 large . $35k for a used e46 + 16k for turbo or you can always get an '02 Z06 for $25 and it will run almost as fast.

$16,000 when you think about it isn't that bad especially for a BMW M3. I mean think most of us our thinking in EVO terms, but for BMW $16,000 for 129mph trap speed is mighty impressive. In comparison though, when driven correctly an EVO with around an $8,000 to $9,000 budget can do the same or better. But still I think $16,000 for 129mph traps is pretty impressive on a BMW. I mean BMWs are just expensive cars to mod, everybody keeps talking about this BMW 335i and Procede and not realizing that stage 1 kits (Exhaust and Piggyback) are like $2,500 to $3,000 a lone. The point is BMWs and European cars are expensive to mod, and I believe with this kit M3s can make 600whp @ 11.5PSI and race fuel. I wouldn't be surprised if it winds up costing the Al Mighty (sarcasm) 335i the same to achieve these numbers.
