Okay! We got 20 people so far, a few may drop out, but we just need a few more people to show some serious interest and we will put this into production.

It is enough to power our E90 335i, so I don't see why it couldn't handle the electrical needs of the E92 M3. We will still need to see if the E92 M3 use the same battery mounts and do a trail fit.

+1 I'm in for the 21lbs with mounting kit. I've used the 15lbs odyssey battery on my track car and the difference is substantial. Everyone's looking for additional hp gains in a N/A car the key though is power to weight ratio, plus you figure you lose the run flats go with regular tyres and you'll shave additional unsprung weight this is a no brainer. Keep us posted.
