its good to note that pro-efi DOESNT work with these cars, something just isnt right and they refuse to correct it....

its a shame this was kept so quite on completion....
Pro-EFI just won't work the way it's setup from them. It could be made to work with some DME tuning but that journey seemed endless and the full potential of the dual vanos setup was wasted. After making our way deep through some business contacts, we came up with a solution, a very costly solution, however it seemed like the proper road to take once to this point. The factory DME is no longer in the car either. Instead a full standalone (not one you've heard of), plug and play setup completely contained inside the factory DME box, tuned via USB or bluetooth connection, E85 flex fuel sensor functioning, and is running nearly 100% of the factory functions. Some tuning/software/ECU updates are still in progress on the car and will be completed in Trevor's hands but the car is driving and running nearly 100% as stock, making great use of both Vanos and making some serious low end power on a stock S54. Just be patient, a little more time and I'm sure Trevor and Marcus will have plenty of video's and coverage of this Z4M =)

Intercooler is made to be exposed. It will be getting anodized black once in the hands of Trevor, perhaps a different bumper covering it but other than that it will stay as is.
