Will this work for the Z3 M Coupe with S54 motors?

 

Mike, the intake we have for the Z3 M S54 is $10,000 and comes with a free supercharger!!! Instead of getting around 10 HP increase, it gains approximately 160 HP. You can check it out on our web site:

well played

 

I need a tune for R56, do you happen to have that?

 

Looks great, guys! Keep up the good work!

 

I don't believe GIAC has release software for the R56 yet, you might want to throw an inquire in to their contact form.

Thanks!

 

Unfortunately, I believe you are right. So far I've heard of only one place being able to tune the r56, and of all places in the US it was in Hawaii.... At least someone is making progress, I guess.
