Our Stage 3+ kit is setup around the best upgrades to make power on the M52 engine: cold-air intake kit, M50 manifold, M3-spec cams, and performance software.

We sell this kit a number of different ways. The base Stage 3+ Performance Package includes:
aFe Cold Air Intake (oiled cotton filter, heat shield, intake tube)
M50 manifold adapter kit (M50 manifold not included)
TMS Shark Injector performance software

Optional Items:
New stock E36 M3 camshafts (or Schrick equivalent)
M50 manifold
Modified fuel rail cover (clears the fuel injectors with M50 manifold)

Adding the M50 manifold produces huge power gains in the upper RPM. If you spend the majority of your time over 5000 RPM, you’re going to love this kit. The parts in Stage 3+ are our most-popular performance upgrades for the E36 328i: intake, cams, software, complemented by the M50 manifold. Stage 3+ shifts the focus entirely to the top end of the RPM. With the change in the manifold there is not much of a mid-range torque increase. The Conforti software keeps any torque loss to a minimum.

The software is also Conforti-tuned and supplied with the Shark Injector software loader. The Shark Injector is a do-it-yourself reflash tool that plugs into the diagnostic plug in the engine bay. With the push of a button, it will copy your stock software and reflash your computer with the performance tune. You can set it back to stock at any time by following the same procedure.

The aFe intake is made with heat-blocking materials, reducing underhood temperatures and not contributing to heat soak of the air filter. aFe uses an oiled cotton air filter for maximum air flow and excellent filtration. The kit is supplied complete with heat shield, carbon fiber intake tube, sealing materials, hardware, and install instructions.

Related Upgrades: We are often asked what would complement our software and intake packages. Within any Stage, we recommend our Underdrive Power Pulley Kits. The Power Pulley Kit will under-drive the alternator, water pump, and power steering pump. Under-driving means each component is moving slower which requires less power. The saved horsepower is put back to the engine where it transfers to power at the wheels. Power gains are typically 10 horsepower at the wheels.

We also recommend upgrading the cat-back muffler for slightly more performance, lighter weight, and a more-aggressive sound. Our favorite E36 mufflers are the Supersprint, Borla, or Corsa exhausts. The Supersprint is the quietest and most like stock while the Corsa is the most aggressive (Borla being in the middle). You can expect a gain of 5whp with any of these exhausts.
