Yet another exhaust configuration update! Switched out the cherry bomb for a Magnaflow Magnapack resonator to deaden some of the drone:


Also flashed my transmission with xHP Stage 3 - the downshifts are BRUTAL now. Car feels great.

Made another ride-along video with my Gopro mounted on the rear to compare the new setup with previous versions:


I *think* this is my last exhaust change

LCI Taillights installed!! One of my top 3 favorite mods. These lights are so bright, crisp, and beautiful.

I think that will be the route I take as well. Once I get the bank note payed off and some debts erased of course

What turbo are you going with?

Look up "spun crank hub" for the M2C, M3, and M4. That is the S55 Achilles heal and a very expensive one to address, especially if it spins.

A turbo swapped 500hp N55 is just asking for constant annoying issues, repairs, high maintenance, and more lag (yes, even the Pure Stage 2). The S55 isn't breaking a sweat at 500hp. If your quest is for a 500hp BMW coupe, the S55 with a hub fix is the only way to go. It will be cheaper to own and operate in the long run and will have far more enjoyable driveability and power delivery.

That is true. I'm not sure if it would cost less in the long term to purchase an F8X. You also have "///M tax" on aftermarket parts and routine maintenance services.

What would fail faster with a swapped turbo N55? As long as you've installed the necessary complimentary parts I can't think of anything.

Upgraded: FMIC, injectors, fuel pumps, ignition coil packs, spark plugs, catless DP, charge pipe, intake ...

Farewell

Goodbye F22 crew, you guys have been awesome and I will miss the 2er, but I just purchased a Mineral White 2015 M3

If you're in the market for a clean M235i, contact Monroe Hendrick Chevrolet!

Saw that coming... your F22 was as good as gone the moment you started looking at the M4 lol. Once you get that itch... Congrats! One of the best looking cars on the road imo.
