    Looking for AZ Tuner for '02 Z3 S54 M roadster

    Picked up an 02 M roadster a couple years ago and so far, it's got Dinan's Stage III software as well as their free flow air intake. It's got stainless steel exhaust, and Zionsville's oil cooler.

    Starting to do some fun stuff to it so was wondering if anyone had any feedback in general and also regarding any tuners in the Phoenix area.

    I've got Euro spec OEM headers coming from the U.K. soon and Rogue's pulley kit as well.

    Looking to put in an electric fan as well.

    Where do I go from here? Do I need a tune after the headers/pulleys?

    Frank Smith tunes the S54's. He isn't local but respectable and can remote tune.

    Electrical fan only is not a good idea for hot weather. Euro header's will need a tune just to deal with check engine light, or your are planning on using euro c converters as well and extending the 02 sensor wires?

    Put a header on it! This will transform both the low end and the high end peformance. Why? The stock cat is placed so close to the engine in order to heat up fast, and reduce cold emissions. The down side to this is the engine just gets choked. Any header will help, including $100 ebay headers, but a factory euro is the best.
