i hope you werent expecting to bump the output of your 325i to the 330i's level because i believe there are some difference in the ECU in addition to the intake.
i would be curious if it makes any difference without the proper tune to support this mod. |

Ya I talked to Shoreline motoring and the ECU will be updated as well. The cool thing is with DTE it's a lifetime guarantee for updates so it won't cost any extra...so I'm pretty sure it's gonna work out. I ordered it from Irvine BMW Parts DPT actually...you can just get it direct. This is gonna be interesting...

How much for labor to install the ECU, flash, etc? That's a damn good deal for the 3-stage manifold.

btw they show a pic of the N52 in a 325 coupe...there never was a E92 325i coupe....and if that's the e46...then that's not the N52 engine

Coupé (E92) The two-door coupé model of the 3-Series became available in August 2006. It is also the first BMW coupé offered with xDrive. All E92s also come standard with Xenon HID headlights and "retractable seatbelt helpers" that extend from the B pillar to hand you the seatbelt when the key fob is in the ignition and the door is closed. Interestingly enough, the coupé is longer and narrower than its E90 counterpart. The E92 comes with 320i, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 328xi, 330i, 330xi, 335i, 335xi, 320d, 325d, 330d, 335d and 330xd models (availability of certain models depends on region; diesels not available to the US market until 2008).

idk dawg....cuz wiki can be edited by literally anyone....not sayin' people made that shit up...just pointing out that false info could be on wiki...id find a lil more proof....cuz right now I don't really by it...if they made a 325 coupe they would've had it by 06 for the sedan....doesn't really make much sense

Okay well anyway...I'm still trying to guage what to expect...
Right now: DTE Software RD-Sport cat-back exhaust Dinan Ram-air Intake Dinan High-Flow Throttle Body ...with the 3-stage I'm getting the software updated...I looked on the site for the 330I and it's a 28 hp gain for the software...so without the throttle body intake and exhaust it's 282 hp at the crank....we'll have to see what it's gonna be....I really don't know what to expect...but if it all works out I should have a little more than 282 at the crank...which is like 250ish at the wheels? Sounds about right...but like I said we'll have to see. I'm pretty pumped...this is gonna be really interesting |
