    Probably check turner motorsport, http://www.turnermotorsport.com/c-15...-software.aspx

    Also, if you guys know anyone who is interested, I've listed both my ZHP and 535i. Time to start seriously looking for an e36 m3.

    Yeah, I'm gonna look at the cosmos one wednesday. Thanks for the heads up about the dakar one - I drive through kempt road all the time and never spotted it!

    edit: Wait, are you thinking of the m3 race cars at griffin motors? https://p.twimg.com/AqKQIZbCMAEE6as.jpg

    Either way I'll drive by after work to take a look.

    Thanks guys!
    A lot of the MINI folks use the Sprint Booster for this. I have never used one, but many people like them.

    Thanks guys. I will check out those links for the throttle, then decide if I want to do an upgrade. I also found some thing "BMS Powerbox"... Seems to have worked for other people.

    @Crustashio

    Have you seen this one? (If you are on kijiji half as much as me, I am sure you have)

    Hah, I'm probably on kijiji 5-10 times a day at work, and have an alert setup for 5spd e36 m3s. Thats the one I'm looking at tomorrow. I should have the 535i sold thursday, so if it checks out I may pick it up. I'd prefer not-black, but the options around here don't leave you room to be picky if you want a winter stored m3.

    I drove around kempt road and strawberry hill today after work (mainly looked at steele ford + clearance center, and steele subaru as they are at the end of the street), but couldn't see a dakar M3 anywhere. Unless it's in a showroom or I am completely blind, I think it must be sold

    4500 one looks like a scam, I don't see the NS inspection sticker. Usually a good indicator. Same with the convertible - no sticker, and in that shape with a manual is worth a hell of a lot more than 6500.

    Took a look at the cosmos black one tonight. A bit disappointed - it had rust where the trunklid meets the bumper, some on the window trim, and some where the fender liner runs along the inner side of the front fender, right behind the wheel. A/C didn't blow cold after 15mins. Driver's side needed a window regulator (autoclose stalled). Big scuff on the rear bumper, plus a scratch on the rear fender. Also didn't feel right in terms of acceleration - did a few 0-60 tests once it warmed up and it felt not much faster than my 328, but it should be faster than my 330. Had a wierd hesistation in 2nd gear where even my 328 has plenty of torque to accelerate. Braking and handling was fine, and the short shifter from understeer.com seemed good.

    Also noticed while I was pouring over the service records, it was once brought to the dealer with only 2.5L of oil in it.

    It would probably make a decent track car after some work, but I wouldn't want it as a daily. Really didn't think it was an 11,000 car, but maybe I spend too much time looking at what you can get in the states.

    If I can sell my ZHP for a reasonable price, that's exactly what I'll do. For the least amount of hassle I'd probably look at something from enthusiast auto group - they're pricey but I wouldn't have to gamble with random issues. Seems like it's really hard to get an idea of the real condition until you go look at one.

    Managed to sell the 535 today to someone from lunenburg, pretty happy to not have more cars than driveway space now!

    Do you guys go out to point pleasant on sunday nights? I happened to be out driving and came across a massive car gathering in the lower lot. I thought those got shut down years ago, but this was when I used to be in high school. Pretty sure I saw a few BMWs parked there, including a silver e30 with dark basketweaves.

    Also, my M3 hunt has temporarily been sized down to a 328i sedan. Crunching the numbers I can get pretty mint sedan with tons leftover whenever I can sell the ZHP. Threw a want-ad up on kijiji for now.

    Cool, maybe we should start meeting there instead. Officially moved the meet to point pleasant park sunday nights at 6.

    That ok though, 328's are bomb. You can still turbo...

    That would be me. I try to get down there friday/sunday nights on the rare occasion I can make it. Sunday was a little rowdy, usually there's not much in the way of burnouts/asshattery since most people don't really want to get kicked out or hit someone's car.

    Not sure. Last weekend was the first time I'd been down in months, just because life keeps getting in the way of things. I am making an effort to go though.

    I used to go to PP all the time; sundays sound decent.

    My ZHP is now sold, so I am in full on search mode for E36 m3s.

    On a DD or a summer m3, I cant see why that would matter. I would way rather fix mine than delete it, its open more often than closed in the summer...
