Best part, it's a factory piece so is engineered for the car and N55, it fits perfectly, and will last. The stock tips can be reused as well if you want.
I really want to try that muffler out. We'll see how the M2 muffler + CL DP sounds

Remove the grill badge & get one of these for the rear to match the car!

Finally have an exhaust setup I'm content with. I love it so much more than the muffler delete I had previously. No more drone, and I still get crackles and pops!

Thanks to Henry's Muffler in Raleigh, NC

Also had them put on 3.5 inch tips to better fill out the exhaust openings.

Dusted off the GoPro and made a driving video with the new setup. Should be in 4k but it's playing at 360p right now while Youtube processes the file.

Recently installed different carbon mirror caps— I didn't like the ///M wingtip look, felt like a poser.

Ordered and installed M2 paddle shifters— I had these on my F30 328i and missed the look & feel. This time around the airbag removal was much easier!

Thanks! Yea this color drives me nuts too. I'm almost scared to wipe it down in fear of scratching it further. It needs a good 2-step paint correction.. lots of swirls.

VRSF catless downpipe installed by Stage Fab & Performance in Youngsville, NC! Can definitely feel a difference in the butt dyno, it's quite louder as well. I'll probably have a resonator welded back in.

Still running the JB+ until I decide which stage 2 tune to go with.

Exactly - 470,000 people died in the Syrians wars to date, why should people worry about the few hundred murders a year that occur in your typical north american city.

Our moral instincts are all personal, local, and tribal. They aren’t global. Collective action problems are hard enough to solve on the small scale, but when they are on the world-wide scale, our familiar moral tools are useless. Unless ethicists truly come to embrace this fact, they too will be irrelevant. Perhaps they are; it may be that it is only the study of decision theory and the logic of rationality that will empower us to find the right solutions. But either way we need to abandon guilt-mongering as irrational, pointless, and counter-productive.

(hilarious anyone on this forum is judgemental on pollution )

Nice mods btw

Flashed the MHD Stage 2 tune today! No more CEL and it feels much quicker.

The flashing process was pretty straightforward other than dealing with Google Play's wonky payment rules. After purchasing the flash license it wouldn't let me purchase the tune, even after waiting 45 minutes and using a friend's credit card. Ended up buying Google Play Credit to get around the problem.

Went to a friends house to hook up to his battery charger set on 10 amp mode. Total flash time was 39 minutes.

Used this K+DCAN cable from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/LZLRUN-Diagno.../dp/B017IG81SQ
OTG Micro-USB adapter: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adapte.../dp/B00LN3LQKQ

Recently purchased the IND front paint-matched reflectors from a fellow forum member. Install was a lot easier than I expected. Only broke the tabs on one reflector but they were both trashed anyways.

They look amazing!

NGK 97506 "2-Step Colder" spark plugs installed today by StageFP. Turns out the car still had the OEM plugs (82k miles) - new ones make the car feel amazing!

Then put on the BMS Performance intake, sounds great - I've missed the turbo wooshes 🐌

Did a few 0-60 runs with the newly purchased Dragy GPS module. Best time was 3.97 seconds, not too bad.

Beautiful looking car! Definitely going to follow this thread. Also getting a pretty good chuckle at the folks complaining about the catless-dp,
