Yes , we have done it South Africa !!! The chase has been on to see the first S55 run into the 9 second bracket and we are happy to announce that we have managed to achieve this goal . We are proudly the first company in South Africa to achieve a 9 second S55 M3 with our in house car.

Our partner ,Strada Performance, has been pioneering the S55 market for some time now . Not only did he beat his previous record but now he is the first to have run a M3 into the 9 second bracket in South Africa . We can confidently say we have the recipe for a 9 second street M3.

This car has been built and maintained by our mothership company 357 , when it comes to BMW and other high end vehicles 357 has made a huge name in the automotive industry. Besides the fact that we have some of the most qualified technicians working on our clients cars , 357 is known for having some of the fastest street BMWs South Africa has ever seen. We also pride ourselves on the best customer experience and service this industry has seen.

Ok , back to the star ⭐️ of the moment , this M3 is still running on a stock engine and gearbox . When we say this it means the engine and gearbox has never been opened or been strengthened in anyway . We wanted to push the limits of the stock engine and gearbox components to see what we can achieve safely. This again proves that with an experienced ECU calibrator you can achieve records while still keeping your engine safe.

This car has been fitted with a set of in house hybrid turbos and a port injection meth kit . All of this hardware is brought together and tuned on ECUTEK by us at NV Performance. The car also has an XHP gearbox flash . Yes folks I didn’t leave  out any hardware . That is all the car has and we managed to achieve a 9 second M3 at altitude.

A special thanks also goes out to Knut Kolmel from Grand Tech Auto . Our approved panel beater of choice. Knut worked countless hours with his son Mr Strada to bring this record breaker to light . Watching this father and son together is such an inspiration to me . Family over everything!

 

NV over and out ✌️
