Picked up a M6 w Comp package
First BMW car, i've owned 2 S1000RR's, now I'm on a M kick! Loving the car, its such a balance of comfort and power/performance!
Just got it paint corrected, and sea quartz'd. Now, the mod bug has already bitten. I'm researching catless down pipes, and probably will keep the stock exhaust system. Any recommendations for catless dp. And 2 questions, does it throw a error code with catless and how loud does the car get? I'm not looking for something crazy loud.. Also thinking about a tune, Dinan is local to me, but haven't really found favorable user reviews for it.> Anyone recommend a good ECU tuner in/around California? Thanks for all the feedback! |

Welcome sir! Pics would be nice.
With downpipes installed, you will eventually get a CEL light. But it will be taken care of with an ECU flash tune. Several tuners are in Cali that can do the ECU tune, stage I or stage II. Downpipes will make the car a little louder and you will hear turbo spooling much more especially when you get on it. |

getting ready to install a set of RK autowerks catless downpipes on mine tommorow. the quality and finish on them is great and they are on a holiday sale right now for $1000.00. Can report back on fitment tommorow. They will throw a cel unless your car is tuned. I opted just to get a jb4 set up for mine and i did the berger intakes and charge pipes aswell. Mine is also a comp package aswell so i can shoot you a clip of the exhaust with the downpipes on it

BPM and Mission Performance are both in CA and highly recommended by members here.
Downpipes: you will get a CEL. I do recommend this as your first choice before changing the exhaust as you will gain power as well as increase the competition exhaust tone and turbo spool. Usually guys start exhaust first and then add downpipes not realizing how drastic it is and end up with very loud cars. Make sure you have the tuner turn off the cold start. As for downpipes, too many on the market, if I was modding all over again, I'd pick up a Fabworx or Undercover Performance set. Both great and priced reasonably. You might want to check with MSR Performance, I believe @m6beast may have started selling downpipes too. As for RK, it's been a mix bag, some have had no fitment issues while others have had a ton of issues. I won't get into that debate, let's see how the install goes mentioned above. Hopefully they've corrected the issues as the price is right.

Happy new year fellas. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, what a great forum! Not sure if these pics are showing up, trying again.. This is right after a paint correction done @ Shine Auto salon in GA
Oh and here's a pic of my other "M" I'll check out those down pipes and hit up BPM! Thanks again! Last edited by spikespiegel; 12-31-2016 at 05:58 PM.. |

Thats insane, has anyone tried topping out their M6's with the top speed limiter removed?
I'll be contacting BPM once i ship the car back to California. having said that, recommend any good covered shipping providers for luxury cars? Thanks again fellas! |

For paint correction(getting rid of swirls) and the sea quartz, which enhanced the clearcoat shine + provides protection, and some interior detailing, the total was 1350USD. Well worth it to make the car look like new!

For any engine (all) and drivetrain (most) mod related questions I would search extensively over at the F10M5 board.
There is no comparison between traffic here and there. http://f10.m5post.com/forums/index.php

Thanks guys. First set of mods; bmc air filter and Castrol SRF brake fluids. Then once I get the car back in California, exhaust and tune! Can't wait! What an amazing daily driver!
