Updated | F32 - OEM 437M / ECS 2 Piece Rotors / MPPK / M-Perf Quad Tip Exhaust
Update 3/19: Added MPPK last week and did the MPE over the weekend. I actually welded the tips on this time and wrapped everything in header wrap for shits and giggles, I think it finishes it nicely. Can't hurt to have some heat protection back there as well since it travels right next to the battery box with the quad tips.
MPPK + MPE is an expensive addition all things considered, but for piece of mind with the CPO it's worth it. In addition, the JB4 vs. MPPK argument is settled for me based on the basic dynamics of a flash tune vs. piggy back. I like the comfort of knowing the entire DMU has updated software to work with the additional boost levels, zero drivability concerns. The engineers at BMW beat this thing into the ground before releasing it, so I sleep easy at night. MINI REVIEW: Its certainly noticeable, but after a week I'd say I'm accustomed to it. Regardless of how far you go with power adders, you'll always chase that dragon. BURBLES Mmmmmm New pics- Old pics - Modification Intent Just going for the OEM+ look, more or less how I would have liked the car to come stock. Adding MPPK this week and probably an intercooler in the near future to help with the Florida heat. Does anyone know the factory suspension's scrub radius specs??? Need to figure out how much the additional width and offset has affected my alignment. Thanks!!

those wheels fit your f32 perfectly! rotors look great as well. quads are a nice touch out back.

Thanks all for the compliments!! I know it's not the craziest F32 when it comes to mods, but I just wanted to build it how I felt it should have come from the factory. OEM-ish, but slightly more aggressive, yet still sleeper enough that everyone in the parking lot doesn't know you've modded it. Appreciate the feedback
