306bhp and 653Nm torque. Power is down on what it should be (328bhp) but the torque is spot on (checked with my last rolling road, which was Star Perfomance) Hopefully getting the DMS remap "redone" next week to see if that fixes the problem - a blip just after 3000rpm. Interestingly enough I cannot notice it on the road at all!! ------------- http://www.facebook.com/teamschirmer">

The last time I saw a torque figure like that, it had propellors and floated! Looked like a good day, shame I missed it but had a fireworks display on.

My reads as
296bhp @ 6305 rpms...much lower than the one I did down south. Torque was down as well at 363Nm...which equates to a standard set up  However, like Steve I don't feel less powered when on the road..
DMS are gonna be busy next week. ------------- |

Well as seems to the norm for me these days. My 325i sport on route decided to throw a bitch fit just as we left the tolls on the forth road bridge, and died on me.
Managed to get it started on limped to Falkland. Had to wait for everyone to have their run before the mechanic could look at it for me. Anwhen he did guess what, yip the problem disapeared like the wife when it's her round. Put it on the rollers and showed the fuelling to be 0.1% instead of 1.5-2%. The figures where quite encouraging given the lack of proper fuelling. Standard should be 171BHP Actual was 169.3BHP @ 6055rpm Torque was 213.4Nm @ 4635rpm ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e30/sportevo.html" rel="nofollow - E30 M3 Sport Evo III |

a nice sunny day for a change, so off down to the local motor factors, £18 lighter and 20 minutes of watching...errr i mean "supervising" my dad saw a new set of 6 NGK BKR6 plugs installed, fired her up.... yaaay, rough idle gone and, although its probably placebo i swear the throttle response has improved ------------- 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i 2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118 1999 BMW 323Ci 1995 BMW 318i SE 1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS 1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX 1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly |

That'll be me then, no probs, I wasn't in a hurry. My results: BHP: 325.4 @ 7325 rpm Torque: 352.6 NM @ 5740rpm. BHP up 1 since last RR and torque down (was 367 NM before) Happy enough and as always, you can't read too much into the figures. Q for M3 Evo runners, looks like mine was done in 5th gear(260.5 km/h = 161mph!!) was yours? Don't think this would affect results except showing high wheel drag??? Thanks for a great day. ------------- M3 Evolution |

the M3's gear ratios in 5th allow a 1:1 with the rollers this is the perfect setup to have btw thats a very respectable output ------------- Summer Project on its way...... |

due to the car idling rough i suspect there may also have been some missfiring if the plugs were looking a bit past it the throttle response will feel much crisper now? and i dare say like pete says u probably have got your ponnies back and maybe more than 4 of em ;)

Just thought I would nip on and see how the day went. Glad to hear it al went well, despite some Engine MAnagement problems, Tiko and Stevie! Oh dear. And also, to post my figures up again. 321bhp @ 7620rpm and 340nm @ 3490rpm Mine was done in 5th too and Max speed was 268.1km/h whatever that works out to be in mph. That was with a Falkland Superchip and Dave F induction. Jamie, is your the one with the Custom Exhaust? Some MIGHTY impressive figures indeed there, rock on.

I'll get some pics up later etc but mine was putting out 150BHP & 185NM so not bad for an old girl, pretty much standard figures.

Tubs...according to just about every performance centre it is impossible to get a true reading of the M3's on a rolling road. Saying that I was 296bhp @ 6305rpm, the car redlines at 7900rpm...
This was my reservation when booking up to come along to the session , however was assured by members that rolling road would handle it no problemo 
My car performance wise is std..just the DMS remapp. Have plans to do some more mods in the future... Tiko ------------- |

sorry for dragging old posts up but having been awol for a month or so I'm trying to catch up
just dragged my print out from the car to remind myself and so I could share with you all. 372.1 BHP @ 5825 RPM 488.7 Nm @ 3555 RPM that is when the cars gizmos kicked in but speaking to the mechanic and looking at the chart the car was still climbing all the way towards its claimed 400 BHP. tbh I'm not too bothered about not getting full run because I know the car peforms on the road the way it should and don't believe for one moment that it's down on power as for my seat, haven't phoned trimline yet for quote but intend on doing that sometime this week
