    Better throttle response? Quicker car?

    06 M3 ZCP SMG

    Finishing the big 3 this week.
    car is stock becides the active autowerks exhaust, ohlins, and new 3.91 rear diff.

    What mods are the best for better throttle response?
    do tunes, intakes, and pulleys make a big difference?
    love the quickness but wondering if it can be quicker.

    Car has 275 and 245 tires would going stock size make it quicker? Or just get lighter aftermarket rims/tires?

    Want to stay relatively stock or ez to convert back to stock when shes sells one day.

    Probably injectors and cleaning the throttle bodies would help for better response

      SMG DME upgrades via the CSL 255 tune and the engine side inertia and rev matching updates via the ecuworx tool.

        Less unsprung weight at the corners certainly, so stock tires and lightweight wheels. An engine tune for more midrange torque. Aside from a CSL intake, your options are fairly limited after that, seems to me.

          +1. Can't believe the car didn't come from the factory programmed like this.

            This and the Comfort and Sport mode throttle adjustments! 😎

              Throttle response is already insanely quick on our cars. If it isn't near instant, you might have some lazy rubber in your powertrain or suspension.

                Going to APE e85 setup really gave my car a huge improvement in throttle response and midrange power. I like around e65 ish, can't stand running regular 91 after using e85. It's a big difference in both.
