This is definitely one of the best non m e46 coupes I've seen. So when are going to go stage 3 on the ESS TS?

One of ESS's software writers is a good friend of mine and I've always been a huge fan of their products. Bar none, some of the best kits out there.

I was planning on the stage 3 but then my daughter came along. LOL The e46 is gonna stay how it is, except for a new clutch.

I am going to send the ecu in for the latest update to the TS2+ software though... and I'm gonna get them to delete the post cat O2's as well. They don't like the SuperSprint race cats...

I love how these cars sound with exhaust, i've never seen a supercharged one in person... although i can imagine it being amazing. Great looking car man :up:

[BraveUlysses]

Hands down, my favorite color on an E46.

Does it have a limited slip? 6-speed?

My roommate actually has a TS2 530i and as big as that car is, it can still haul some balls.

He's actually planning on going TS3 hopefully soon, so it should be quite interesting to see it walk m5's.

edit:

Not to threadjack but here's some pics for reference.

are you still in germany???

were going to the ring next sunday (1st i think) it'd be sweet to meet up!

Unfortunately no. They didn't come out with the 6-speed until the next model year. And no LSD for it cuz the baby came along.

Yeah, I'm still here. Just got back from a year in Korea actually. So I'm here for at least another 3 years. We'll have to see about the 1st. Hope the weather's good. elsabor67 asked me to go this past weekend but I had my daughter's B-day to do. I'll let you know.:pimp:

[Mo_E30]
