N54Tuning Shop M3 has Just Arrived - The fun begins!!

We just took delivery of our M3. Very excited to get some stuff done to the car and begin development work on some parts, including some exhaust stuff.

Will start off the thread with some pics.

Yes we are going to start with some exhaust mods, like we have done for the N54 and N55 cars.

We also have a local manufacturer who is doing some carbon parts so we will try and incorporate some of those as well.

First step is to figure out how to drive the thing LOL I am coming from an e92 MT and this one is a DCT and a lot of electronics.

So our FULL P3 vent gauge arrived today Installing soon and will post pics of the process. Kit is complete with wire that allows you to read boost from JB4 so you see real boost if you are running the JB4.

Had a chance to hit the dyno today and get a baseline for the shop M3 before the bolt ons go on. Unfortunately running winter tires, so numbers are 15-20 down from what would be expected on a high performance summer tire but overall looks good and the delta on the JB4 Map1 (Stage1 equivalent) look pretty nice as well. This car just pulls until redline.

The JB Map1 / Stage1 yielded a solid 40-50 hp/tq across the board. This was done on 91 octane, and baseline is a bone stock car with nothing done to it (Map0 on the JB) So pretty impressive gains over the entire power band for a ver simple and quick to install tune.

Next week the downpipes go on so will bump the JB to stage2 and re-dyno.

Softer compound so they deform more. There are a few winter tire versus summer tire dyno comparisons floating around the net. I am not an expert on setting up a dyno but like I said above its softer compound in combination with softer sidewall and tire tread pattern. All work against the dyno.

So we got around to installing the P3 Gauge on the car. (Thanks to Tim @ P3Cars for sending it over) Very simple install and about 5-10min of work. I snapped a few pics but basically the video below explains it all better then I could

Just installed some 20mm BMS HubCentric Spacers with the included Black bolts on the back as I got the summer wheel back on the car. Love the flushed look.

Ya I think spacers are a MUST on stock wheels. Makes SUCH a difference!! Very happy with the result and I can confirm there is no rubbing with 20mm in the back. Went over some speed bumps today to make sure all was clear.

I will have some more info on these products in a couple weeks. Right now I am SUPER happy with the production sample. Fitment is SPOT on. Actually was shocked at how nicely they went on. The rear diffuser bolts in as easily as the OEM in about 5min. (if that)

Front lip:
Is this 3k 2x2 or otherwise what is the exact weave?
When might these be available?
is the lower lip and the splitters 1 piece or 3? (I'd really prefer the splitters were painted and the lip in CF
How does it go on? OEM holes? Self tapping screws?

Rear diffuser
is this the exact "pattern" for the m-sport rear diffuser? (aka replica)
Is this 3k 2x2 or otherwise what is the exact weave?

Side blades
Do you have side blades?

Also, can you post here or PM me the price and availability? soon would be better than later
