I talked to the AA guys on saturday at the summerblaze meet and they didnt sell anything for the S54 coupe.
I asked if they had anything an they assured me that everthing fit, and then I proceeded to shoot down each and every one of thier mods... Strut tower brace, turbo, supercharger, etc etc..
I guess they dont even know that the M coupe came with the S54. That makes me wonder about those guys.

I put their Stage II turbo on an S-52 Coupe with astounding results (384 rwhp, as I recall). I was very impressed with the package, as a whole. There were a couple of issues, as I would expect in a project of that magnitude, but they were quickly and satisfactorily resolved.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their forced induction packages to anyone.

Just so you know,Carl and a few other guys there were The Dinan rep for years,Then they dabbled in blowers and more extreme mods,They are a little scattered on instruction but they have been testing the s-54 motor since the beginning they blew two motors up on stands just to proof the wet base issue over dry base,they made top secreat mods that are not for resale a few of us thank them for working with us on secondary air pump delete some modules are seconds of what we worked on,and header issues,Carl is connected with BMW and has connections in South Africa,Bmw,Now being the owner of a company I understand that sometimes you meet unqualified personal that reflect the base and reputation of the sum but there not bad people and they know alot,And I have only worked in design with them,so product stuff not needed,they have a blower in test for our cars...As I would say to Ron how fast do ya want to blow your engine..

I think they absolutely know what they are doing. Instead of asking them internet bmw trivia questions look at their results. I'm not sure who you were talking to at the event but you can talk to autocrosser Jamal Mardini (mostly on the fly - jam), bmwcca club racer Randy Mueller (mostly on bforums - Randy305), and others that have done very well with Active in the past.
How is it that you "shot down" their mods? I mean, if you have to have a strut bar they are all functionally equivalent, right?

Well, thier strut bar wont fit over our vent tube. They looked right at hte car with the hood open and told me that it was an S52 and that thier supercharger would fit fine. I guess it was just an uninformed salesguy or whatever you call them. But he and his coworker both told me that everything they had would fit my motor. LOL. And they repeatedly talked about the 600hp turbo (S52) M Coupe they had built and said that they could do the same thing to my car.
They may be great with E36 M3s and the S52, but I dont think they are touching my car.
