Comfort mode has much more ass behind it while still maintaining what its supposed to be used for. Sport and Sport+ really feel like they're going to be quick. Barely had a chance to exceed 1/2 throttle so far, but I'm quite pleased already.

Any update on the Dinan Stage 1? What are your impressions of the power gains? And the exhaust tips looks nice.

Power gains have been very noticeable in all driving modes. Comfort mode has more pep for sure, and the throttle lag is greatly diminished. Sport and Sport+ are now ferocious. The car builds speed so fast that there is not much need for wide open throttle anymore unless you have a great deal of clear open road in front of you. I have the xdrive, so the launch is silly now. I wouldn't be surprised if I hit 60mph in around 3.9-4sec. Might have it dyno'd in the next few weeks just to see what she is putting out. Looks like most guys are getting 370hp and around 415ft/lb torque. Not too shabby for a little coupe.

Tips were out of stock for so long, I had almost given up on getting them.

I agree...not sure why the M240 "features" the silver colored exterior mirror caps....that would definitely impact my exterior paint choice....or cause me to have them removed/painted body color.

Love your EB M240xi!

Thanks I will definitely replace the mirror caps. Just not 100% sure now on either black or body color.

Do you have other CF accessories? I was thinking gloss black to match the grilles but I think if I go wit CF covers I will get the CF spoiler as well.

Not yet. May do the CF rear spoiler or a CF rear diffuser eventually. Spent some "fun money" on the Dinan midpipe and Stage 1 tuner this summer, so I'm not sure what's going to be next. The CF mirror caps really do look sharp in person and add a nice touch over normal painted caps. The color kind of matches the orbit grey wheels I have too. I'm really thinking of doing the interior trim next. I have the silver hex with blue trim and would like the dark grey CF.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your input. I have yet to see the CF accessories in person, not a lot of 2 series where I live, but from the pictures I see on this forum they look good. I am now ordering a new set of wheels and winter tires (not ''fun money'' but a requirement here in QC, canada) but the dinan midpipe is on my list for the spring. I am afraid to lose my driver license if I go with the Stage 1 tune

I'll be taking some new pictures of my MW M235 and I've installed body colored caps. I much prefer the look of body color vs black or CF simply because at distance, the black/CF starts looking like a base unpainted cap and/or gets lost in the windows (kind of like running all black rims; they look like black steel wheels from 30 feet+ out). The clear integrated blinker and lower 1/3 third of the mirror housing, which is painted gloss black, helps create contrast as well. It's a higher end look and the M2 does it too.

Where did you buy the caps? From IND?
