F56 NM Module and Sprint Booster

The NM Power Module by itself will add about 20+ HP with 91 octane fuel - this is achieved primarily by an increase in boost pressure along with other mapping changes.

You can get up to 44 hp with 100 octane fuel - not something you can find easily.

If you want to correct throttle lag as well, add in the Sprint Booster. We have pages of great reviews on our website.

after some debate, I'm going to skip the intake (for now) and just add in a couple of gallons of 100oct to get my rocks off and switch the NM Module to the hi setting..

Blacking out the heads/tail trim next..

What are your guys thoughts on cf parts on a black car? Personally, I think that CF/black car combos look sick, almost sinister in a way..

What I was thinking was cf mirror covers, brake duct covers and maybe a boot lid handle? something subtle on the front, sides and rear of the car..

I'm open to suggestions and deals if you know where to get said parts on the cheap!

Great looking car Joe!!! I have a MB JCW sitting at the port waiting to cross the pond. I am also thinking about putting some carbon bits on my car. As of now I have the black head/tail rings, stubby antenna and a few others waiting to go on when I get the car. I am also ADDICTED!!!!

sadly enough, I didnt even know a Carbon Editon existed

just looked it up and with the CF parts, I want added it will be very similar..

crazy thing, is I told my wife I was toying with the idea of adding matte black stripes... I see now that idea was already realized by mini lol
