Thanks. Looks sharp in the AW. Got any mods planned for yours?

I'd like to install the MP Exhaust and diffuser, however BMW say that installing the exhaust may void warranty - so I need to get that confirmed prior. I also would like the 405m style wheels - you have them don't you paka?

Also, how do you find the MP Exhaust? Is it worth it? If not, I'll just install the tips only.

paka · 10-13-2014, 04:30 PM

Yes, I do have 405m rims. I actually only have the exhaust tips though. I heard the MP muffler and it does sound great from outside the car but didn't think it was noticeable enough from inside to be worth the money. Seems odd that BMW would void the warranty for getting their own part installed.

BenWM · 10-13-2014, 11:00 PM

It'd be bloody ridiculous, but I want official word from Head Office, I don't trust what the dealer tells me - even then, I'm not convinced of its worth anyway.

But I still wouldn't mind enquiring anyway. Mind if I ask how much the 405's were? How are the runflats on the M235?

paka · 10-14-2014, 09:07 PM

Wheels were 5k (after I traded my stock wheels back to BMW). As for the runflats, they're ok (better than runflats I've had on previous cars) but then I never drove it on the Michelin PSS's so I can't compare. Apparently runflats are nowhere near as good as Michelins.

MG M235i with 405 wheels, M Performance side skirt decals, black kidney grilles, a black badge and a black performance spoiler, on Elizabeth St, Sydney at 8:00 this morning. Looked very good.

Saw a melbourne red (I think? Or valencia orange? Or I am colour blind during the night) going in the opposite direction down Pittwater Road heading towards Epping Road in Sydney
