BMW's have been hit or miss or me over the years. From a golden era of the E36 M3, to a somewhat boring modern era - I've always wondered the tuning potential of nthe F80 platform. Thanks to my buddy Ryan he was kind enough to let me drive his 800HP Single Turbo F80 BMW M3 - which was a real eye opener to the potential of these cars. With a history of tuning the N54, Ryan stepped up his game with a big single turbo, e85, air to water intercooler, and much more. So what's it like driving one of the fastest BMW M3's around? Let's talk about it!

[@mooz2x]

The single turbo is what makes it sound nice. I own one of these but with an equal length exhaust. If I didn't run that setup on mines it would sound horrible. His car with a single midpipe would sound insane. Sounds really nice for it having just a stock exhaust!

[@MikeyG003]

sameeee I had to get the equal length cuz the stock tone is just horrendous lol, single turbo best sounding s55 followed by EL

[@button-puncher]

E85 is so awesome. If you had told me a decade ago that someone was running 36psi on a stock motor as a daily driver, I would have told them they were smoking crack.

[@jesusiskingofkings4428]

Why does e85 allow you to run such higher PSI’s?

[@2seep]

⁠@@jesusiskingofkings4428e85 has a high octane rating, which means it’s very resistant to detonation. Higher horspower is a result of aggressive timing which e85 can handle. Theoretically you could also make that hp on 93, however the car would detonate before you made that hp. E85 also cools the cylinder in direct injection engines which cools cylinder temperature which prevents hotspots that cause pre detonation. E85 also has an extra oxygen atom which also helps with hp.

[@sonicnofadz]

its awesome until your hpfp or injectors fail, and you get tired of changing your oil every 500 miles

[@Twiztid_Metal]

@@sonicnofadzwhy every 500 miles?

[@button-puncher]

@@Twiztid_Metal It's three things... You have to use 30% more E85 then gasoline for the same air-fuel ratio. To be safe under high boost, you run it rich. With the high boost, there's more blow-by so the fuel gets by the piston rings, in to the oil. All that fuel in your oil is a bad thing. It doesn't lubricate and it causes the oil to break down. But on the plus side, oil is relatively cheap vs running a forged motor on race gas.

[@alanmeadows4056]

Thats what ive always loved about those m3's. they do daily driver AND canyon carver extremely well. The dual attitude that those cars have is hard to find anywhere else.

[@Justanothercarguynyc]

[@Unicornpirate]

You don't need a single turbo to make a S55 sound nice. Like he said with that turbo kit, it got rid of one of the midpipes since its only one turbo. If you have twins, you can get Active Autowerkes equal length midpipes. Get rid of the charcoal filter on the intakes and get rid of the burble tune and you can make any S55 sound good.

[@STM3F80]

Owner here. Definitely still have 2 mid pipes just a single downpipe. You 100 percent need to single turbo these to get them to sound good. I’ve heard many equal length mid pipe cars and they don’t even compare!

[@Unicornpirate]

@@STM3F80 How does that work? A single downpipe going into 2 midpipes? That doesn't make sense. I know the stock twins have 2 downpipes which connects to the midpipes

[@STM3F80]

@@Unicornpirate the kit is made in mind that many people installing this Turbo kit may have a factory exhaust like my self so it’s a single 3.5 inch downpipe to a Y connecting to the factory or OEM style exhaust. Even if you purchase a VRSF or AA single mid pipe they still have Y connections due to the S55 coming factory Twin turbo. If big boost made a downpipe with out the Y they would be forcing their customers to have a custom exhaust made just to run their kit.

[@Stilo95]

Any idea how to make a European S55 sound good? I'm also an owner of an M4 F82 competition but here in Europe is very, very difficult to make it sound nice (like a single midpipe or equal lenght midpipe) because the police is all over cars now and of course when I bring my car to inspection, they check every inch of the car. By getting rid of the charcoal filter, you mean changing the intake system?

[@Unicornpirate]

@@Stilo95 Not changing the intake system. There is a charcoal liner inside the stock intake. Take that out and replace the filter with a BMC one and you will get better sounds. All aftermarket intake systems are known to lose power. Even Eventuri. And since you are in Europe, don't you guys have particulate filters in the exhaust? I guess that's why even with equal length mid pipes it sounds weird. All I know is equal length mid pipes, exhaust, and catted downpipe with a burble tune removal makes the S55 sound great

[@SaintFrost11]

That info about the exhaust system and the single vs twin setup makes so much sense😅

A sleeper is a completely unassuming car thats extremely fast/quick and catches people off-guard. No f80/f82 m3/m4 is a sleeper, its literally a M car which are notoriously known for their great performance out the factory as well as high tuning capabilities with the aftermarket scene. This car is also painted that "Loud" Yas Marina blue color and lowered on aftermarket wheels. The car looks great and its extremely clean and well done with a lot of power but that doesn't make it a sleeper.

[@TheAceKannon]

This. If it was on stock wheels and painted a common color like gray or white, then maybe it’s a sleeper. If it doesn’t get mistaken for a rental car it’s totally gonna tip me off regardless. I’ve seen Ford Aerostars that shouldn’t move the way they do lol

[@T5_T-Rell]

@@TheAceKannon a M car could never be called a sleeper if we talking Bmw then something like a high HP/Tq 328i or 330i or something along those lines could be a sleeper no one is expecting a M car to be slow especially not a f80/f82 sure you may not expect it to make 800hp but no M car can be a sleeper. A sleeper has the element of surprise being a normal commuter car or lower model which a M car already lacks from factory being a top end sports cars for Bmw.

[@bobgraves5833]

I've owned an E36 and E46 M3 and I agree, no one thinks they're sleepers. I think they meant sleeper for an M3. I knew who I could take off the line if we were both stock. Anyway, drag racing an M car is like taking a hooker fishing. Yes it's fun, but that's not why you paid for her.
