does this kit work on the e90 330s?
Not sure the e90 330i uses N52 engine or M54 (same as e46 330i)
I guess this SC is for N52 engines. I may be wrong.

well said.
There are 2 kind of BMW drivers:
1) Stickers on stock (specially engines). Of course some of them complain to modders because they believe the BMW engineers or/and for the warranty.
2) modders who enjoy modding their BMW especially with out of warranty and many of them want their cars to be unique like Jashy did on his 530i SC!
it is a free world!
and I can't wait for the videos (against a modded 535i, M3 and M5) and dyno runs!

You hit it RIGHT ON THE DOT!!!!!! I wanted to be unique and didnt want to spend another 15 to 20k in getting an M5. Thanks again for all your support and really appreciate it!

Point being is that a modded 535 and 550 will walk all over his modded 530.
So now, he's back at square-1. IMHO, money would've been better spent
upgrading to an M5.
Jashy, let us know how the numbers turn up. Can wait to see 'em -enjoy!

nice!!! but 10k i would of went m5 or something but to each his own !
don't forget to factor in opertating costs!!!
-insurance,
- fuel,
- tires, etc.
I know that If I was in an M5, I would be melting the tires off much faster than on my 550, but that's just me
Oh yeah, congrats on the Mod! I would never have the courage to have this kind of surgery performed on my 'sleeper'. Look forward to seeing the dyno results as well. 550's have around 275 whp, right?

i think he will walk on modded 545/550s easily. I wanna see this in person!! When r u coming down to NYC jashy?
I should be coming down this weekend once they finish the final touches and plugs on my car. They said they cant guarantee that my car will be ready by this weekend but most likely by next weekend ill be able to come up for the day.

Congrats on your SC..
I had mine 1 year ago...ASA Tm12.

No one else on the forum that I know of has this kind of SC and thats why I wanted to stand out a little. I knew buying this I wouldnt come close to M5's Cl 600's and modded 535's...I got this SC kit because I already had the car which I loved and didnt want to buy a new one, just wanted to make my current one faster. I am not going to keep this car forever and I dont think the life of the car will die in the span I will be driving it. Overall I will be happy when the kit starts working properly and THANK EVERYONE that is on my side for this. I really appreciate it and my respect goes out to you all!!
