sorry I posted in the wrong thread

this W2a is made for the R53

we do have something coming for the R56 but we are still about a month away

what's nice about the methanol is much cooler inlet temps and adding much needed octane to the burn

Wow, this whole time I was wondering what in the hell it was...

A true cold air intake? A real ECU tune? Ends up being for the R53... DOH!

The primary purpose is cooling, isn't it? The result would not be gain as much as less loss due to ecu adjusting air fuel mix due to too much heat.

i'm betting it's something like a GT2560R... that thing is PERFECTLY matched to the 1.6L engine... i loved the idea of a GT28RS but realized that's more for a 2.0L engine ... IMHO

RMW is the like the Mother of R53 upgrades... they have MINIs that ace modified M3s... so before you speak like that, you really should look at their site a bit better....

They have absolutely fantastic R53s... screamin' fast for a little 1.6L!

Well.... looking at their site ain't gonna do it for you... because they have one of the worst websites of all time.... which doesn't even mention half the stuff they sell... so takes some reading the forums and talking to folks to figure them out... I think of it as "enigma marketing"...
