SOLD Gruppe-M (£550+P&P) - NO OFFERS

[Bodyboarder]

It's interesting as everybody raves about them but listening to it on the internet I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Personally I wouldn't spend £600 for an induction kit. I'd rather spend the money on getting the crank bearings replaced.

You’ll probably end up doing both

Just a matter of time really !

Videoing exhausts/intakes never replicates what you get in real life.

For example, here’s an S54 on velocity stacks...sounds like you could live with it day to day, but in real life you’d be scared of using full throttle without wearing earplugs.

It's simply the best affordable mod you can do on the M.

You've gotta hear it in the metal to believe the noise. The s54 isn't complete without a Gruppe M or similar. Get a ride in one with it fitted and you'll understand

The shell bearings are only worth doing once you get into the 90-100k point.

Not everyone will be there and for many these cars are 2-5k per year cars so enhancing that experience for £600 is pretty good value IMO.

Some people have found significant bearing shell wear at 50k miles and others have failed at far less than 90-100k. I swapped mine at 50k and they were fine but I’ll swap them again at 100k miles. The financial consequences of spinning a shell far outweigh the cost of changing them.

As for an induction kit, it’s well worth the money - it was one of the first modifications I made to my Zed.

Just had a listen to that video,sounds exactly like my Datsun 260 Z which has a 3.1 stroker under the bonnet with Jenvy throttle bodies ,awesome

Ye but your car is used a lot harder than the majority of cars. Most are just weekenders.

Did you do the work yourself?

[BMWZ4MC]

The shells were changed by CPC in Amersham, the CAI I fitted

[R60BBA]

What does it sound like?

2 weeks into ///M & " i will be keeping the car totally stock " is looking iffy adding a Gruppe should be the first thing any M owner does imo think S54 pulling hard in 2nd - 3rd & 4th , , you like it now then imagine the noise intensified & multiplied
it turns a already angry engine into demented

Hahahaha

I’m tempted but think I’ll hold out for a CSL Carbon airbox
