What mods do you have??
Is your engine US or euro?

sub 13s is pretty hard to achieve stock.

Hey wid,

with the 4.1 gearing, doesn't that make first and possibly second gears wind out rather quickly? I'm curious: do you know what's the top speed in your first and second gears?

My tach, isnt super accurate, but 1st is like 15-20ish, and 2nd is 35-43 around. but with the twinplate clutch, and the lightened flywheel and the uuc evo 3 ssk its pretty quick on shifting.

I do not plan on selling the car really ever, im turning this thing into a track monster, by probably putting a eurosport twin screw for the clean powerband, because i have read that its similar to a clean n/a powerband, or if i came across like 50 thousand i would have rui, build me the engine that he had in his other m3. But i dont think i need close to 800 wheel horse power. He did more engine mods after the eurotuner article in 2004, for the sema show in the spring.

How did you get the headers on, I thought those didnt fit?

Also, use a 325i tach encoder not 325e.

Yeah, I used/switched an "i" plug: the tach idles right now and appears to read right. But it still redlines at 8k which i know isn't right, but it's better than it was before.

widm3r.. i used a 325 is plug (little white one on the back of dash console) and a 325 is tach and mine is accurate now... let me know if you have questions..

The ptg headers were installed by the previous owner, the sound they emite is so raw and mean. and so which tach encoder or plug should i use to get it to work the best, i have two ways.

The possibilities
