Well thank you sir!

If you ever want to learn more about them, just let me know. I'd be more than happy to IM / Chat with ya.
(This is my actual car BTW)
Just a cute 390 whp / 330 wtq (I'd have to find the dyno graph with the exact numbers) - will be going more this winter. Not sure where everyone lives around here, but it will be on the dyno at York Automotive @ 10am on 12/3.

Do you know what supercharger set up he's running? A buddy of mine had a Dinan supercharger on his M-Roadster and it was scary fast. He worked at Boost Logic for a bit and was their pioneer for the turbo kit they offer now. It is retarded fast, now. Vids below.

Here's a good picture of said exhaust:
BTW - BMW Electronics = No Fun
It's sick, isn't it? I went to a Z Meet (BMW, not Nissan) at Carderock Park with my friend Mark, who owns an S54-powered M Coupe, and he's good friends with the guy who owns the red M Coupe. I was riding in it, and the owner pulls over and says, "So you're pretty good at driving stick?" I was kinda shocked and mumbled something about being about average, as he gets out and tells me to drive it. I was shocked by how smooth all the power comes on. I am in love with that thing haha

HAHA - You should have pulled up next to me and started doing some fast and furious moves. I would have given you a bit of throttle
Oh thank you
Please don't try to molest it's gashole.
Yes sir. I actually ran the NCCBMWCCA's program for 4-years. I've put in my time and have since retired. (Not positive the new "leadership" is up for the task, so we will see how next year goes).
One of my favorite autocross pictures:
You now have the ultimate autox car - I expect to see you out.

Yep, looks like an RMS Vortech kit, probably a Vortech V2. I have a 1995 E36 M3 Coupe (not the shoe) with the same setup in it. I like it. A lot. Mine below...
That red M Coupe is a really nice looking car. I always did like the M Coupes and never understood why people thought they were ugly. It is a bad-*** hot hatch with rear wheel drive.

"The BMW M coupe makes you do bad things. Oh, your descent into deviance starts innocently enough—you blip the throttle at stop lights just to feel the body shiver slightly under the engine's power. Then maybe you try the occasional faster-than-necessary freeway pass. Soon enough, though, you're clocking 110 mph at the end of every on-ramp, doing smoky burnouts in front of the Dairy Queen and donuts in the church parking lot."
C&D (Dec. 2001)
"If the Corvette is a rebellious child of the extended automotive family, the M coupe is the blackest of sheep. It is the punk kid out behind the garage smoking cigarettes while holding a skin magazine in one hand and throwing rocks through windows with the other, all the while teaching the neighborhood children the more colorful portions of Anglo-Saxon."
C&D (Dec 2001)
when the burn out from a red light in their stock 325i.
Intercoolers are just like money, you always need more ...
I'm new to the BMW scene but from what I have experienced so far, yeah.
What is the difference between a porcupine and a BMW? A porcupine has the ***** on the outside.
Mine does not, but WI is coming soon. I'm running low boost (6 psi) and 93 oct so an IC is not strictly necessary.

Okay, three more things, and I'm done. Thanks for all the fans BTW - I'm a strong believer that all cars should be named, and thus, her name is "Mindy".
1.) If your car can't do this, then it's clearly not making an appropriate amount of torque:
2.) If you ever see me around, stop and say hi. I'm always willing to chat with fellow gearheads - here's a glamor shot so you know what I look like:
3.) And finally, a wallpaper for all my fans ...
Full size here - http://www.smugmug.com/photos/689362837_Dg7G3-X3.jpg
Let me know if you have any questions, want more pictures, or simply want me to leave ... have a good day.

LOL! On a different note this morning...
Neighbor's friend runs over our planted sage bush and smashed pot everywhere = FAIL!
Ring neighbor's doorbell with 9yr. old daughter by my side; Lights go out = FAIL
Neighbor waking up to driveway full debris, potting soil, and sage bush from said owner = WIN!

STFU Jonathan. Lol Maybe if I knew you better instead of just meeting you, I'd have been less afraid. And maaayyybe if you hadn't just been showing me how easily it spins the tires on a WOT pull
Too Late. You now have octane booster. And as soon as the season starts I'll be out with you and Mark. The goal is to see how many cones you can hit right? haha just kidding. About halfway through next season I should have enough money to do my suspension stuff.

Search "roll off" and you'll find plenty of info on the setup.
We've had a couple of our form trucks setup like that so we could drop the containers at the job site and move on.
They've been around for years, although I don't know if I've ever seen a car hauler setup like that one.

Bad clutch master cylinder cap o-ring = dark fluid? I goddamn hate flushing and bleeding any vehicle hydraulic system!!! It's the only thing I can figure. The o-ring is crushed flat on one side, and surely not doing it's job, but can that much moisture get into the fluid over a 9-12 month period? Enough to cause issues? I'd rather it be this than another damn master or slave.
