I have an E46 330i and the only performance item I have is the Signature Motoring performance CAI for about $160. The performance kit adds around 13.5HP on the dyno, sounds freaking great, and installs in under 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
-13.5 HP increase
-Lifetime filter
-SOUND AWESOME
-30 min. install time
Aside from the power gain, the SOUND is amazing at higher RPM but sounds normal in regular driving. I’m thinking about added high-flow exhaust next.
wow....more this m3 hit 0-60 in 4.4secs :-) really shows u how basic mods like an exhuast system and a superchip/remap, can vastly improve the throttle response and power delivery throughout the rev range lol and it would be imporved futher with an upgraded direct cold air intake, then the enegine would be able to breath fully ;-)
For sure the rear differential is changed with 3.91lsd or 4.10lsd. E46 M3 stock have to make 100mph on 3rd gear. This is far away from making it. But sweet fast acceleration!
Thanks for the posting. I am looking at getting either a full ss race set up, or borla mid with diablo rear end. I was concerned there would be too much drone with the diablo, but yours sounds sweet..
That petrol gage is moving faast LOOL

We designed the El Diablo for NO DRONE! For those looking for a more agressive tone, we have the EVC Section 2 coming out this Spring.
