I think you are making a mistake, but your call.

I don't think so. G-power has a good reputation and has been around doing FI before all the competition. Only in US because they haven't been pushed out here as much as VF,AA, and others they don't have as strong recognition in the US. Bottom line just looking at the components alone they have the best quality materials so far. And they've been testing it for a while infact this kit was available before the M3 was even available in the US thats how long its been in development. I'm sure once I get it on the car the results will be awesome. We will see I will be working closely with them if they do infact need to make changes to the tuning.

Anyone can throw together the hardware, it really is the tuning that makes these things work on 91 octane.

I hope it all goes well obviously, I just think it is wise to see what VF, ESS, and Active do as their kits are always stronger than the gpower effort, for less money.

LOL...

obviously you don`t know too much about G-Power...
I don`t work at G-Power or something,but..
anytime you are in Germany,I`ll invite you to take a look at the G-Power HQ.
I`ll arrange something,so you can talk to these "anyones"

G-Power development takes place just a few miles away from BMW HQ and less money is not always the best route to go on tuning for high dollar cars...
They have to do much more documentation and meet higher standards than in the US,as we hav the TÜV,which makes it impossible to just "throw anything together" and call it a day..the testing has to be much more rigorous and detailed...
Plus you have a full warranty for 3 years...
Stuff like procede or other US-Tunes would not make it far over here..
Kinda annoying that we have that many regulations on cars,but on the other hand it`s an advantage for people seeking safe tunes for expensive cars.

That is the truth. The quality control standards in Germany are a lot more comprehensive than they are in the US. Nothing gets past the TÜV in regards to safety, durability and quality.

I rather make a lil less power and have a better quality product then make more power and worry about something breaking. I've seen threads about ESS people not ever making advertised HP so that alone tells you right there grass is not always greener. Besides. I think Since G-power has been around for over 25 years and Has the worlds fastest FI E60 M5 they might know a thing or two. Another thing is since this kit is made in Germany where the autobahn is I can be assured that I can use the power as much as I want. I'm not sure about the others maybe good for a few short runs and thats about it.

How is he making a mistake? I have the Gpower kit on my car, the car is running like a monster. I had cats before and it was holding alot of power back. I'll get on the dyno soon, show you guys some nice numbers.

Stay tuned, I'm pretty sure the Gpower will be the best kit.
