It's based on the mods that the world's fastest M3 is made of, and it is in fact a very reliable car. Check out http://www.advancedgeneration.com/turboM3.htm and read all about it. As for the AA turbo, you can get more info at http://www.activeautowerke.com/turbo/OBD2-E36Turbo.asp. For $10,400 you can get 398 HP in your car, 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 1/4 mile in 12.55 secs. Of course, you will then have to install a heavy duty clutch to support all that power, which will set you back an additional grand. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Baker" <rbaker@velodyne.com> To: "E36M3" <e36m3@bmw-m.net> Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2001 3:38 AM Subject: [E36M3] Re: What about the S54? > Date: Sat, 02 Jun 2001 00:33:46 -0700 > From: Roger Baker <rbaker@velodyne.com> > Subject: Re: What about the S54? > > AA turbo faster than an S54 transplant?

Luis, With all due respect, unless you've personally owned an AA turbo setup for any decent length of time (like Roger has), you really can't comment on their reliability and/or engineering quality. The world's fastest M3 that you refer to is a drag car. I have the impression that it's not a daily driver as Roger, you, and I drive.

Instead, it says 'Please Inquire'." That is because they do not make either of those kits for the M3. Yet, at least. You either need to use a 325/8 front sway bar or I think they offer a bracket to attach your M3 sways to the control arms. Either way you are downgrading your M3 suspension with these.

The AA turbo kit, however, is supposed to be a mid-point between the world's fastest M3 and a daily driver. I thought the original poster was looking just for this, a faster-than-stock M3. Regarding AA turbo kit's reliablity, I don't have one, so I really couldn't say much, but I have read two articles about it, and I specifically remember one of them saying that the most impressive thing about it was the level of street driver reliablity it had, as opposed to other turbo kits. Again, it's just words that I've read. Like you say, I have no real first hand experience, so I was simply commenting on it. Personally, if I wanted to make my E36 M3 that much faster, I'd go for AA's turbo instead of getting an E46 M3 engine. But, hey, that's just me :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "NickG" <nikog@MediaOne.net> To: "E36M3" <e36m3@bmw-m.net> Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2001 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [E36M3] Re: What about the S54? > Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 20:13:27 -0400 > From: "NickG" <nikog@MediaOne.net> > Subject: Re: [E36M3] Re: What about the S54? > > Luis, > > With all due respect, unless you've personally owned an AA turbo setup for > any decent length of time (like Roger has), you really can't comment on > their reliability and/or engineering quality.

#8. Butt's in the air after new bushings - from Matt Henson
Top
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 20:13:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Matt Henson <hensonator@yahoo.com> Subject: Butt's in the air after new bushings Hey Y'all, I replaced my rear TA bushings a few weeks ago. Since then the rear of the car has been higher than normal. I was unable to measure the angle of the old bushing since it was completly separated. Anyway, I made sure that I put the new one in so that it was angled back (the back of the carrier is lower than the front). Is this necessarily a pre-load problem? Does anyone know what the proper carrier-TA angle is supposed to be? What else could this be? Thanks, Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
