What would you like to see developed that currently doesn't exist ?

Already done by brintech customs the problem is the conversion is worth almost the same as the whole car
A ZF8 swap would be awesome, but from my understanding it will take a standalone TCU and/or ECU to work properly- people have asked XHP about that and their response seems to be that it will never be able to happen with the stock DME maintained due to software constraints on both ends.
As for the higher stall, theres plenty of people already running one with no issue already and as you know theres no input shaft upgrade for us right now, people are running them on stock autos and at least one or two on a PD trans. I dont see how an OTS higher stall would be harmful at all, as not everyone will want to swap their trans especially when the 6hp21 hasn't even seen it's full potential yet. Every performance upgrade makes it more likely that you'll break other parts. Imo saying that is like saying theres no need for upgraded twins when our trans is only meant to hold ~330ftlbs of torque.
Imo we either need more upgrades for the stock auto, or an easier solution to getting the 6hp28 swapped- like a full bundle that includes adapter, wiring harnesses etc as then you can still run with the stock modules and not spend the same amount of money that your car is worth on a trans swap alone.
I want to see a dry sump oil setup and stock dme controlled pi. Neither exist and both would fix numerous issues with these cars. Get after it.
All things the current DME does. The only solution to the DCT problem that i 100% know controls the DCT properly is @Nisse Järnet and his aftermarket controller that replaced the TCU inside the gearbox. Until someone can flash the DCT TCU you are relying on the various BMW software versions to control everything.
Dry sump system is doable and already looked into it, the problem is the cost and would be such a small market its not even worth looking at.
Stock DME controlled pi wont happen, I remember someone talking about it and there is no room in the dme for something like this.

If you’re not going to listen to anyone after asking the question, then don’t ask the question. You either:
A) already have projects you want to work on but need other people to make you feel it’s worthwhile. Or...
B) are just kicking tires and talking big game.
Either way, cut the charades.
The shaft can easily be done on exchange basis but can also be done by your local driveshaft shop quite cheaply.
Take a standard 1m shaft and shorten to suit, easily done for under 500 dollars.
The problem with this platform is that most think they can do it cheaper, someone has to run around source the part and have it modified.
Then they have to factor in their time, shipping both ways, small profit and all up it will cost at least double what you can get it done for at the local drive shaft shop.
I can easily make you one tomorrow.
If there was enough of you mfactory quite easily could make you a cf one.
There are plenty of IRS cars that launch, ours have shit geometry and are made from butter.
- A good rear subframe with better geometry for 1/4 and 1/2 mile traction
- An off the shelf diff, halfshaft and driveshaft replacement that will handle serious power levels(ade 8.8)(camero/commodore)(insert strong abundant diff with ratio options here)
- Twin outlets tailored to the RHD market that flow.
- M5 brake conversion kit( reasonably priced)
- An off the shelf kit that does away with the need for all of the BMW plastic cooling, power steering etc componentry
- We already have cast and billet valve cover, inlet manifold options but some competition wouldn’t hurt
The whole thread was to get ideas and I can pick and choose the ones that are going to actually make money and are commercially viable.

That should keep you busy for a while....

RHD twins outlets are going to be available soon as we are working on that right now, stay tuned.
We already have superior setrab power steering cooling with our ic kits but maybe expand a little more on bmw plastic cooling what you like to see.
BTW we already have fully modified RHD outlets that already flow a lot more than stock as is good enough for most but we are making bigger ones.
Water Pump, reservoir, pipe fittings essentially the whole engine bay has a half life of 50kKms. Aloominum!?
Water reservoir I can easily do and is on the books.
Where would you like to see it like stock location or relocated like LHD drivers side overflow tank.

Also My advice is to keep branding and appearance as stock like as possible. Big logos and loud colours aren’t for me and making it opt in or out is a nice compromise.
Reasonably priced Vac cans is more plastic and another easy one. An N54 plastic eradication kit would be super.

I know this is an N54 thread but don’t forget about us E-series N55 folks. Sometimes with a small tweak parts work on both motors
We have two likely additional HPFP options coming - one with a dual HPFP and the overdrive. Realistically Spring 2020 would be my wild back-of-the-napkin guess.A real DI fueling solution
lol best post of the week. "just" syvecs. Followed by ... how deep are your pockets. You win surreal sentence of the week, hands down!!
You mean like buying a beautiful cast aluminum valve cover, spending $600 to then have to take a grinder to it to lop off a 4" random letter number combo that is meaningless to the rest of the world but somehow is prominently displayed on the front of your motor? I honestly can't see why you'd give the advise you have.
