The 4-Series LCI is just MONEY!!!! Stunning!

Also - killer job on the tire setup. Glad to see a beefy set of rubber...what are the wheels specs?

Thank you! Definitely still learning about this whole mod thing and getting the car exactly the way I want it. Finding the exact wheel / tire combo was exhausting. I spent the two months between ordering the car and picking it up looking at and deciding which wheels / tires I wanted to go with for the winter setup. I was nervous about going with black wheels and how they would look. Beyond happy with my choice.

Winter setup:
M359 Avant Garde 19 x 9
Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 Tires - Square setup: 245/40/19
Motorsport Hardware Stud Conversion with Titan Forged Neochrome lugs

My next mod will most likely be either a bootmod3 or JB4. Need to do a bit more research. Whatever I do go with will need to play nice with the MPPSK install since this is basically a BMW tune. Other than that, I want to redo the interior trim with the M-Performance trim. Then, I think I'm done. Famous last words, I know.

Couple stickers.

Ordered the bm3 sticker in anticipation of its upcoming release for the b58 engine. Can't wait!!

Took me a while to find the site for the f30post.com stickers. Found them! f30post.b i g c a r t e l. com

Bootmod3 flash tuned tonight!!

Pretty excited about it. First time I've flash tuned a car. Super straightforward and easy. Took about 10-15 minutes and that was because I was being hyper-careful. I was most nervous about valves not closing in comfort mode, but the tune works just like the MPPSK mod - open in sport and closed in comfort.

I only drove it for 15 minutes after the tune. Definitely noticed a difference. Looking forward to it self adjusting over the next couple of runs and for getting updated tunes as they are released.

Excited!!! Car is really coming along. Couple more m-performance parts and I'm done.

How does the bootmod3 work in conjunction with the mppsk?
