Hello,

Had a STOCK 02' M3 SMG before...I just picked up an 05' M3 Saturday night...Already modded. SPOTLESS.

I only put about 4K miles on my 02' in the last year...I want to keep the miles down on this one too...BUT it will be tough! What a great car!

I plan on doing some autocrossing with it...Should be fun!

Glad to be part of the Forced Induction club!

Pics when I am allowed to post them...Too new here!


1. Active Autowerke Stage 2 Supercharger with water/alcohol injector, 8 Rib Pulley system, Rotrex C71 blower.

2. Active Autowerke Headers and Active Autowerke Generation 4 Muffler.

3. OEM CSL Wheels (Authentic and no curb rash) with Toyo T1R tires.

4. Umnitza HID Fog Lights and Umnitza Predator Angel Eyes.

5. Blinder M20 Laser Jammer!

6. Federal Signal Strobe Lights (4 heads. 2 in front and 2 in rear fog lights).

7. Stop Tech Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines.

8. Koni Sport Shocks

9. H&R Springs

10. Autometer Boost and AFR Gauges on the steering column.

11. Active Autowerke Larger Fuel Injectors installed.

12. AP Performance Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel.

13. Active Autowerke Short Shifter.

14. Alpine 6CD/MP3 changer.

15. 500W sub Amplifier and JBL 10" Subwoofer with enclosure.

This M3 has been running flawlessly. No problems at all. It has over 500 HP at the crank. Dyno sheet - 460 WHP!!

I for one would love to see pics! It's possible that someone else may have a hosting site, and could put them up for you.

If you already have them online, send me/or post the links, I may be able to post them for you.

congrats and welcome! a couple of questions:

1. is it a stg 2 or 3? Thread title says stg 3, but post says stg 2.
2. How many miles? and what did you pay for it?

It looks fantastic!

OK...All this stuff is new to me! I just jumped right in!

Looked up the receipts...I have a large BINDER with everything. The previous owner logged and filed everything.

From the AA Paperwork:
Jan 5, 2007 - E46SC-KIT6 - AA SC KIT LVL-2
Feb 19, 2007 - UPGRADED - 8RB-KIT L3 - AA SC 8 RIB KIT LVL3 with Software

It makes over 9 psi boost...Dynoed @ 457 WHP.

The car has 34K miles on it...Kit was installed less than 5K ago. Paid 42K. The previous owner kept it SPOTLESS. The car does not have a mark on it. I was impressed when I went to pick it up.



This is from the AA site: Getting myself more confused here! Maybe someone can chime in! THIS is the one on the car now.
525 HP - Gen 3 Level II Factory is 344 HP
What could you do with 525 ponies under your E46 M3 hood?

Active Autowerke can give you all of this for your M3 in a Big Brown BOX, that even you could possibly install and have the assurance of a proven system that is reliable and strong without any concerns. So let Active Autowerke provide the system and technology while you provide the possibilities.
Active Autowerke is proud to introduce an upgraded kit for the BMW E46 M3 Supercharger.
Our Level II is just as reliable and refined as our standard kit, but provides more power suited for a more aggressive enthusiast. The increase in power output is achieved by using a smaller 70 mm pulley (Level I uses 75 mm) and slightly more aggressive software.
For added safety, an Active Autowerke custom Water Injection kit must be used as a precaution against detonation or knocking. In addition, the BMW factory exhaust system is not compatible with the increased power provided by this kit. High Performance Headers along with a high flow exhaust must be used to allow for a smoother and less restrictive flow of exhaust gases.

BMW E46 M3 Supercharger Kit Components: Level II

All items listed for Level I
Active Autowerke Water Alcohol injection Kit
70 mm Pulley
Larger Fuel Injectors
Software Upgrade
*Free Flowing Headers are suggested to accomodate the increased power output.
