Do you ever drive your car normally?

I've put a custom exhaust on my 420i and i almost never drive my car normally, always shifting between 1st,2nd,3rd gear in country roads just to hear the pops and bangs of the exhaust.

Should i reconsider my driving habits now? Dont wan't to have a broken transmission or anything else anytime soon

The 20i has no burbles or pops of Stock, you must buy a BM3 tune to get what you want.

Kick down to proper gear is just normal wear. But what your doing is probably will increase wear as you need to down shift to get the rpm high and get some burble and pops.

Increase wear will ultimately lead to breakdown but who knows when is that.

yes..im getting burbles at 5k rpms sometimes 4k thats why i keep it in 2nd gear most of the time ~40-60km/h

Any time you're running at 3k RPM or more you're using a lot of gas. You might not be harming the car, but you're putting a serious dent in your wallet.

eco pro? the valves open in sport mode..

i notice good burbles and pops in sport when i shift the gear stick to the left..

if i dont shift it left it does not pop that much

why would it burble in eco mode?
