How was the sound with this upgrade? I'm thinking about doing the same.

Long story short:
First got the amp, didnt tune it properly, so the sound quality as well as loudness didnt improve much. Then got stage 1 speakers along with ghosts underseats-a bit better than before, especially with a proper tune. The main thing i didnt like was a very weak bass, it was almost absent. Didnt appreciate the cost of the subs tbh. Eventually installed a single 12 inch 300w self powered and sealed sub by RF that i got from amazon for only $180! Reminder-it came fully enclosed with its own amp inside! Such a steal for what you get. I can say that I finally love the sound with a current setup and my tune. I like good deep bass) coming from a car with a decent sound system (2kW rms) with a dual JL ported W3 powered with 1200w amp. That was an overkill tbh, but again, I like deep bass)

duercos · 01-30-2018, 12:37 AM

But also keep in mind that I drive f36 and love that my trunk is not separated from the cabin by thick rear chairs and the bass can travel easily. Not sure if it will sound same good in f30

I've gone for the stormtrooper look for sure, but no plans to smoke the rear lights, the next mod will be the exhaust most likely a Remus, followed by a remap.

bobalis · 01-30-2018, 03:32 AM

Not today but close (past Friday) I had a Wagner FMIC, Catted DP and an AA CP installed and BM3 OTS stage 2 flash as well

. Car went from fun to really, really fun. It's crazy how much more free revving the car is and how smooth the power comes in too. It almost doesn't feel faster because it's so seemingly effortless now to accelerate. MPE + wagner DP sounds fantastic too

Jazima · 01-30-2018, 11:33 AM

Retrofitted some paddle shifters to my wheel. Wanted to get the f80 paddles but didn't have the heart to spend that much on them. So just decided to go with the f30 ones

When I first read your reply I saw "wench" and thought happy days, then realised what it actually said. Dyslexia ftw..

MHF30 · 01-31-2018, 11:51 AM

Yesterday, but new rotors and brake pads all around. Thumbs up to the guys at RMPMotors, in and out in about an hour.

Hey I'm looking at getting a bm3 tune, but was thinking of sticking to stage 1 for a while. I hear alot of people saying the power comes on smooth...

Do you mean that as in stock power didn't come on smooth?

Or do you mean that compared to most tunes, power comes on smooth.

And free revving, you just mean it goes through the revs that much faster?

Is your steering wheel trim CF wrapped or is that OEM trim? Looks like you don't have the rest of your interior in the M Performance alcantara/cf.

Jazima · 01-31-2018, 05:09 PM

It is the OEM M performance dry carbon steering wheel insert for the alcantara wheel. I just opted out of the alcantara since I like my leather heated steering wheel for everyday use. I have all m performance alcantara/ dry carbon fiber parts except for the dash and door pulls.

Nice photos, helps to provide context and cool combo matching it with the existing wood veneer.

B58 parts · 01-31-2018, 08:43 PM

I'm surprised you didn't wrap dat wood grain yet ..

I wrapped the steering wheel insert last week, it looks fire of course (much like yours) but I broke 2 of the damn clips. They were a lot smaller and thinner than I expected !@#$

Tonight against my better judgement .. I added the BMS intake. It's easy to pop off when in for service. At least now I have some semblance of the air induction sucking noise and I _finally feel like I bought a boosted car... I'm not posting a pic because we've all seen a ricer intake.

KevDon92 · 01-31-2018, 09:19 PM

Installed my JB4 on Map 5 since I have the stock DP

I did probably the best thing to mine. I just bought it!
