What a little rocket! Got the car last week. Came from an E46 so size is just perfect. Feels so nimble around the corners. The M-Performance exhaust was glorious echoing around the canyons. It's nice to not have auto-blip, heel-toeing is so satisfying with the MPE. Not sure about the artificial active sound in the cabin though. Might code it out in the future.
It's nice to live so close to Malibu. Parts of Mulholland is still closed (the snake) due to the fires but plenty of alternate routes. Cosmetic mods already on their way and currently shopping around for coilovers. Any recommendations? Last edited by beammeup_scotty; 03-19-2019 at 02:52 PM.. |

I went with double-adjustables in the rear and single-adjustables in the front. The latter was to keep noise on the street at an acceptable level. They work well on the track, and they come with camber plates. TCK recommended 350# front and 600# rear springs, and they're fine on the street. The build was for a street/track car, so the emphasis was on keeping it liveable on the street. The 600# rear springs were because I also had them install a set of aluminum rear subframe bushings; otherwise, and IIRC, he recommended 550# rear springs. The closest TC Kline Racing dealer to you is HP Autosport in Santa Barbara: https://www.hpashop.com/main.sc. They are a sponsor of our 2 Addicts forums.

No auto-blip you say? Driving with DSC off?
Is this a M235i? You mention the active sound being obvious, but myself and many other M240i owners swear it's not even there anymore. That and the wheels are making me think this is a M235i. Either way, congratulations and I'm jealous of those roads!

Got my chance to drive the PCH and canyon roads in Cali last fall (in a shitty rental unfortunately) for the first time and I must say, I'm so jealous of you Californians for having such amazing driving roads in your back yard. I'm actually very tempted to make a road trip to go back down there with my car (literally driving across the continent) just to drive those roads with my own car... if only it isn't so expensive and the Canadian dollar not being so crappy.

Check. In fact, I keep wondering what all the noise is about.

Little OT but I definitely noticed the difference in noise level when I deleted the ASD. I suspect the fake sound volume may be lowered for the M240i vs. M235i but it is definitely not eliminated. I used the Technic adapter but I have read it can also be coded out for 2017 MY and later. I think the adapter may be required for folks like me who upgraded the H-K amp.

Is it because it's a different platform (B58)? Not sure, tbh. Sound is definitely there; tested the car without the active sound before I took ownership. Kind of prefer a more natural sound with the system off. Quote:
