The Story
This white BMW F80 M3 is what a complete S55 build looks like when every upgrade is chosen to work with the next. It came into our workshop in Woerden for a full exhaust, intake and tuning package, plus the engine work that makes the extra power last, Cobra height adjustable springs and a set of PSR carbon aero parts.
The exhaust starts at the turbos. DCE Parts 200 cell downpipes replace the restrictive factory catalysts with high flow 200 cell cats, so the S55 spools faster and breathes more freely while keeping catalytic converters on board. Behind them sits the DCE Parts equal length full catback for the F80 M3. Equal length routing lets the exhaust pulses from both banks of three cylinders arrive at the same moment, which gives a smoother, richer straight-six note instead of the raspy factory sound. The DCE S55 charge pipe kit replaces the plastic OEM charge pipe, which is known to crack once boost goes up, with a robust metal pipe and secure couplers.
On the intake side, the F80 M3 Eventuri V2 carbon intake feeds the turbos with cooler air through its sealed carbon ducts and patented Venturi design, and adds the unmistakable induction sound on every boost build-up. With the hardware in place, the car was tuned with an MHD S55 flasher license, so the software is matched to the downpipes, intake and charge pipes.
More power only makes sense when the engine can take it. That is why this M3 received an Evolve pinned S55 crank hub. On a tuned S55, the friction-fit factory crank hub can spin on the crankshaft, throwing the timing out of phase and risking serious engine damage. The pinned Evolve hub locks it in place for good. While the engine was opened up, we also fitted a new timing chain and ACL race rod bearings, which gives this F80 M3 a fresh, reliable bottom end for many hard miles to come.
The Cobra Suspension HAS height adjustable springs lower the car to a clean, purposeful stance while working with the original dampers, so the ride stays usable every day and the ride height can be fine-tuned front and rear.
Finally, the styling. PSR Parts carbon front bumper corners sharpen the nose, an MP-style F80 M3 carbon diffuser frames the DCE quad tips and a carbon performance rear spoiler finishes off the boot lid. All carbon parts come from our own PSR range.
