As of last week they were still soliciting an M42 test car, don't ask me how I know. All the guys in Vancouver , B.C. have shyed away from the whole thing.

because it's a waste of time and money "don't ask me how I know"...

I think a good alternative that can be explored is using an e36 maf coupled with something like an Apex-i SAFC piggy back fuel unit.

To me, I never understood why you would use or need something like this unless you had a wildly modified motor with headwork and cams. Maybe Miller can prove me wrong though...

did it not work out so well for you?

Mike 91 318ic · « **Reply #36 on:** May 02, 2007, 11:11:15 AM »

sad but true, I hope it works out well for everyone else tho. IMO if your car is running 100% perfect don't mess with it. The MAF did not improve throttle response, and no increase in power. I had terrible idle issues but they say that's just a software problem that they can work out. I didn't see the point so I went back to the AFM and it's back to normal minus some spliced wires :mad: For the money you'll have to spend, it's really not worth it, if you're lucky it'll run the same as it did before. You're better off spending the money on other mods imo.

Bummer it didn't work out well for you. I always figured that I wouldn't consider this mod till my AFM was totally shot, then I could see doing the MAF as a replacement. Otherwise, it doesn't seem worth it to me to be honest. Maybe when the day comes that I have no other E30 projects and I am flush with tons of extra cash.... oh that will be the day!

Of course, a full rebuild of your AFM is only $175 from BMA...

Ask me how I know!

Yeah even spending the $375 (the pre-release price) is crazy for an N/A car.. The only advantage of having a MAF is no restriction, i.e. no door to get in the way,, IN WHICH really doesn't pose too much of a problem unless you have an AFM flap that sticks.. After learning all about the differences between MAF and AFM, I don't see the point really..
I give these guys props for doing the research (making the ECU see the normal potentiometer reading as a thermister etc.), but for $400 bucks, or I guess now $500 bucks, there's a lot more shit I could do to my car.. Like Alpine, said, I hope the guys at miller can prove us wrong.. Can't wait to see the results

Haha true! Let's not shit on this thread though, I'm still interested in hearing the results from the pre-order peeps.

Well I just asked for a refund. I got bills to pay.

kowalski · « **Reply #42 on:** May 10, 2007, 09:15:18 AM »

i think they've been emailing everyone from the lowermainland for a test car. I just got an email last week. They're willing to fix my car for me, while i'm gone (free) if they can use it for a test car.

Well they've already worked on Mike's M42 Cabby and i've heard his review and um yea I really want to pass on this.

Goodluck if you do take it though.

is there a thread about this?

there was a dude with a e34 that got some pretty good gains, albeit we probably won't see as much with our smaller displacements.
