It’s a kit for the “i” (M54) isn’t it, not the “Si” (N52)? The gains are comparable, therefore the non-M kit is better value.
Yes important to keep in mind there is a 70hp gain on the 3.0i
It also brings it to 360nm of torque
The current kits advertised are for M54 and S54

I'm in.

Might as well take advantage of some COVID WFH savings and a very good discount to 'upgrade' a little. It was either this or a CSL intake & Alpha-N anyway, and that would have been over £2k.

--------------------------------------

I'm definitely tempted, but I'd like to know I've actually got a serviceable engine & upgraded clutch before I put any upgrades on it :x :oops:

Can I just verify that the S54 kit is specifically for the Z4M and not the e46 M3 - as I know some tuners offer a slightly different kit depending whether it's for Z4M or M3 S54...and the M3 one is usually the cheaper option.

--------------------------------------

Answered my own question as I've just found their parts list for both the e46 M3 and Z4M, and the basics are the same, but the mounting kits are different.

Thanks for the update!

Probably obvious by it's absence, but I'll ask anyway - did they give any indication on whether the N52 engine would be possible?

They only list 4 engines on their website, so it's probably safe to say they don't.

Yes I asked them if they do.

Unfortunately they don't! I'm not sure why as I reckon it would do well

I don’t think the n52 is as over-engineered as the other engines, they’d probably get fed up with customers calling to say their engine bay’s covered in magnesium shrapnel and oil :o

ESS do a N52 kit (for an additional 80-100bhp), but obviously is not part of this G-Power/Infinitas group buy (so will be about $5000 plus shipping, plus VAT)

Thanks Lewis, I suspected as much, but appreciate you taking the time and effort to check nonetheless (and for starting this group buy in the first place).

I'm aware of the ESS kit that mmm-five mentioned, but for the obvious reasons (i.e. the price) it's nowhere as appealing as this!

Maybe one day......
