Is that the stock intake? I thought you needed the Dinan CF Intake for the Stage II?

Thanks again for all the complements guys! The intake is the upgraded one from the mppk. Dinan told me stage II software will work with it along with the mppe, so I though I give it a try. So far so good.

Interesting, I thought the M-Perf intake was literally a hole into the intake versus a proper intake per-say.

OP I think you your stage 2 tune would benefit from a proper intake. doesn't have to be Dinan, as there are other intake option out on the market.

Super nice color! Definitely worth waiting! Looks like it doesn't get dirty easily. My AW 435gc get really dirty one week after wash.
Just curious how's the H&R springs working with the adaptive suspension and xdrive? Looks like not many people have lowered a gran coupe with xdrive and adaptive suspension in the forum. Just want to make sure that it doesn't do too much harm to the suspension cuz I don't want any husslte from fixing the complex suspension with voided warranty. Any advice? |

Wow gorgeous. The frozen white is gorgeous. I should be taking delivery tom alpine white. I'm curious why did you go with them on the performance mods? A JB4 and downpipe would have been a lot cheaper and probably more aggressive. Of course the peace of mind not worrying about voiding warranty is always nice.
Any pix of just the front of the car with the front spoiler? Last edited by MetZF82; 07-27-2015 at 09:44 PM.. |

Thanks for the support guys. I got the floor mats from the dealership. They are the m performance ones. I got the mods from Bmw performance and dinan because I wanted to have the full warantee. I have the worse luck when it comes to Bmw. This is the for the one I have in a row. All of them have very expensive repair under warantee.
The springs are great. Pretty firm and good ride quality. But I dont know if it is the springs or just the way the adaptive suspension is, it is a bit bouncy in sport mode. But the roads where I live is pretty bumpy. Regarding the intake. I agree with you guys, it can be better. I found the m perf exhaust too quiet, the only time it is loud is during back Fire. It actually pops quite loud. Especially when I ease off the gas in sport mode. Will consider cold air intake or down pipe in future. Hoping it will help with the airflow. But I need to be careful. Where I live, it gets to -40C in winter. I have had K&N where the oil freeze up and open up porous and suck in all sorts of dust. Will post more pics of the lip (as requested) later! Thx |

the side is the bmw performance films. The normal ones are straight, but I have them custom made one that curves back down near the front, so that it flows better with the lines of the car (more shark like)

Thanks for the info! That lip is awesome. Much cleaner look to the car. I'm unfortunately battling with my dealer. They up' my price by $90/mo today out of no where. I'm quite pissed and trying to figure out what to do.
Oh and your neighbors bi turbo is very sexy! Last edited by MetZF82; 07-28-2015 at 09:01 PM.. |

I too have a 435i GC Full Bolt On (not Dinan but JB-4) and it's Estoril Blue. I will post pics once all Carbon Fiber accents are on the car. You are right, this car now is as close to a M-4 as you can get. It's absolutely crazy fast with gobs of torque at all rev ranges. I love the interior Red. I also like your Cargo Mat. How are the H&R Springs treating the car now? I haven't lowered it due to thinking I'll have a rougher ride. Might just do coilovers. Our cars are already pretty low. I have 20's and need 12.5 spacers all around to get a more flush look. So what Mod's are next for you? If I can recommend, put in an ER Intercooler. Will definitely free up some power and brushed is very stealthy. Uses all Factory clips and connects. Again well done and Enjoy the Ride! |
