Tristan 338 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 Sourced from vividracing.com,cost me an arm tho. I have found a DIY post on m3forum after I send it to the workshop this morning... you ll love the ssk, its way better then the factory one imo. Loads of DIYs but don't know if I have the time, patience, or skill to do it. Yeah - not cheap. Do you know what % reduction the SSK is? Where are you located? Auckland?

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 Don't forget the Eisenmann - deeper, smoother more Porsche like even. I think many M3 S54 exhausts can make them sound like a Honda of sorts :S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think many M3 S54 exhausts can make them sound like a Honda of sorts :S Do like the Eisenmann too - Interestingly, Dad has one on his 996TT. Sounds brilliant. We'll see where I end up further down the line... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 512 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 Nice choice of colour ! Mate had supersprint on his M3 , added a nice sound without being ott. On light throttle the car was neighbour friendly. Nail it and the M3 sounded as it should. With the e46 M3 the leather covers can be taken off with a couple of basic leather tools. I did this when I changed over my rear seat back rest and transferred the cover to a ski pass unit. Keep an eye on Ebay as I've seen a full set of covers come up now and then. Could be another options for you either way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My girlfriends parents are sick of me waking them up every morning at 6:15am when I pick her up for work Then again, the SS sounds great. Do you know if his was SS race or the quieter version? Cheers for the info on the seat covers - didn't have a clue about that! I just remembered this car also has the fold-down rear seats! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 KW V2; did you source them locally or buy from US? Install yourself or get a shop to? I'm pretty set on them. How have you found the short shifter in the car? Definitely keen for some pics! If you want the best deal on KW call Chris at Autoquip in Penrose, he will sort you out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSET 564 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 Just spied this - Congratulations mate that's an awesome looking machine! Love the colour! There's a place in Onehunga that's selling a Hamann-style front lip (FG) for $500 - they've had it advertised for ages and it's bloody expensive, so I'd be surprised if they wouldn't move a bit on it. Here it is. Also if you are in the market for a Supersprint and want to compare it against standard, just give me a call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
