Initial Shark Impressions (E46 330Ci)
 

Okay, I'm very pleased. :thumbup: :thumbup:

As soon as I pulled onto the street, I could feel a noticable power increase, which actually surprised me. I guess it could be my imagination, but I really wasn't expecting it to be so noticable. Mind you, it's not an enormous change (and I do have a CAI). But I felt something right away. Nice.

Throttle response is much improved. Very linear now. Better response time. This was what I wanted most, and I'm satisfied.

Of course, the 7k redline is great. With the 330's silly ratio of 2.93, I can now hit 70mph in second gear. Boy does the engine sound sweet between 6000-7000 rpms! :D

I just took a short test drive on back roads, so I couldn't test the removal of the governer's cap.

These are just my initial responses. We'll see if my enthusiasm dies down over the next few days/weeks, or if it increases. :twisted:

didja order yours through Turner or Josh at EuroSport?

I got it from Turner.

After driving in to work today, I can definitely say acceleration is improved. Hopefully a few other people can drive my car soon so we can hear their impressions as well.

cool.

thanks, 'monk.

sidebar: if you ever listen to 850AM in the morning, i do to keep my sanity in traffic for laughs, you know that they call teh sweatshirt that Coach Belichik wears the monk-shirt. cracks me up. they're always betting if he's going to wear the monk-shirt. in miami or in this weekend's snow.

okay.

am gettin' one now. kwanzaa present to myself.

(that was joke, in case the PC police read that).

Heh. I've only seen Belichik wear that shirt once, but it was foolish looking. I don't care for Dennis and Callahan that much, but I do listen to 850 at times for the morning commute, especially on Mondays. Haven't heard the monk comments, but that's funny. :lol:

...and therefore, your name shall therefore be 'monk-shirt'.

:lol: D'oh!

um, does the Conforti programming minimize that wretched DBW throttle delay?

Yes. Thank god.
