ARM Catless DP. You're gonna love the sound. Car is gonna feel brand new with BM3, mines running smoother than it has ever been. Don't forget to change out the spark plugs as well for Stage 2, I gapped mine to .022" iirc.

Ah right!

Mine said the same as yours before...

320 hp and 640 nm

When I had the remap, they also configured the dials to show 400hp and 800 nm (772 nm claimed)

Black 650i Badge

Today, I followed the instructions I found on a Lexus forum and used Plasti-Dip to black out my 650i badge, came out perfect and took 30 minutes.

Already installed colder plugs and gapped them when i went BM3 stage 1 and CAI. Got car back last night but could not get on it because during installation, a pipe/hose that runs on top by the turbos/heat shields literally crumbled when we touched it. Patched it temporarily and took her to dealership to get it fixed. Seems to be an issue as BMW changed part# and design/material for it. Picking her up in a few hrs. Cant wait.

I know exactly the hose you are talking about, it's the damn crankcase ventilation hose. Should be a free replacement under extended warranty if you have the old plastic version. Mine broke during DP install but they won't replace since it was already the updated version.

Bent two wheels thanks to the stellar workmanship of the City of Denver road maintenance team.

Had Eibach Springs fitted. 25mm front drop and 20mm rear drop.

I'm told they will settle in a week or 2.

So far really pleased with the look!

Thinking of putting 15mm spacers on the front and removing the 12mm. Will be 15mm all round then.

Not sure if 20mm will be too much, plus will have to fork out for longer wheel nuts and a new locking nut set.

Junebug85,

Looks fantastic! How is the ride compared to stock? Whenever I think of "lowered", I think of some Cheech and Chong movie, with the car slammed to the ground and bouncing like crazy.

haha, i have the same springs as Jeet and i have to say there great, there quite progressive so your everyday drive is not rudely interrupted, but when you feel like having a bit of a spirited drive the difference is night and day

I took 1'st decent picture of my just hard waxed coupe ? Also sitting with Eibach 25/20 set but did not come that low. Both front and rear wheel/tire 19" combinations are under 20,5 kg. each, does handle and accelerate way better than with 26 kg./27 kg. M-Sport set ( so total rolling wheel weight did drop from 106 kg. to 81 kg.).

Yes, you are correct. All fixed now and enjoying the new sound. I am no longer using my exhaustmeister to open flaps once I start the car. It is loud enough as is. When I feel like being obnoxious, I will leave flaps open. Only put about 30 miles on her but I notice some grey smoke coming from the exhaust when I come to a stop. is that normal? I flashed BM3 stage 2 twice just to be certain. Dont want to be running lean.
