Will do. I've got a group of close friends here that we do a lot of meets, cruise days, weekender trips and track days. I'll try and post up a quick video of all their exhaust set-ups and brands used on all cars ranging from n20/n54/n55/s65/s55 etc..
Will try and get them to line up their cars and do a rev battle Other apps you can try for iPhone users are: Carly for BMW or OBD car doctor |

Mod 8. Gloss Black Double slatted (M3/4) kidney grill with Tri-colour finish
This Mod replaces Mod 6. Bought this online: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Metal-Typ...EAAOSw7hRWQ1sh Don't see why people fork out $$$$ for the genuine ones when these are just made of cheap plastic (even the OEM ones) and they are shipped to my door within 5 days and fitment is pretty good. I have to admit that removing the old ones were a bit of a bitch and my hand started to cramp up, trying to unclip the OEMs, but nevertheless made it through... Here's a Youtube video that helped me for all those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkskN22OJGc Photos: |

Mod 9: Chargepipe upgrade (Evolution Racewerkes)
As many have already known, the stock Chargepipe on the F30 is made of plastic. If you are running a tune, it was noted that some and only some people have had this factory component fail, via cracking or popping off the connection with the Throttle body, with the higher boost. This is considered to be a "Safety Supporting Mod" in the case that this ever comes up. It is not a performance Mod and it won't give you any more power or sound. As I slowly get closer towards FBO status, this was on the list. Ordered the parts online and got to work over the weekend. Job took approx. 1.5 hours to complete. The installation manual that came with it was not very helpful, but I had a very good friend to help me do the work. Note to all who do this: You need to have the car on a lift or Jack ramps to remove the connection with the intercooler. A brief overview of a DIY: 1. Put front of car on Ramps. 2. Remove Factory Airbox 3 Disconnect the TMAP sensor 4. Remove the undertray plastic holder underneath the front of the car to get access to the intercooler 5. Pry open the C-clips that connect the Chargepipe to the Intercooler (under the car) and the Throttle body (engine bay). The lower connection is very tricky and can get frustrating but took a bit of effort. Once both connections are out, remove the OEM chargepipe. 6. Unscrew the connection to the TMAP sensor on the OEM chargepipe, and screw it onto the new charge pipe. 7. Place the new ER two piece charge pipe, one connecting to the Throttle body, the other to the intercooler. Connect these two pieces together with the supplied O-ring clamps and the plastic joining connector. Use the factory C-clamps to clamp the new chargepipe to the throttle body and intercooler. 8. Re-connect the T-Map sensor into the connection. 9. Re-connect the airbox 10 Bolt the undertray back onto the car. |

very nice. I just put my JB4 on this weekend (running map 5 for now) and I have my ER chargepipes sitting in my back seat. We didn't have a lift and ran out of time, because i would have liked to throw them on with the tune. Nice writeup.

S2 dial is on 4 at the moment. Originally it was on B as factory default. Every two weeks I went up two notches each time. Never gone to Max (which is 7). I think they advertise each dial increase to be an extra 1.5% |

Temperature gauge should be at least 1/4 to 1/2 of MAX before you go Full WOT. If not, the oil in the Turbo housing has not yet reached ideal temperature yet for it to get its max boost setting. This may sometimes trigger a cel for the unexpected first timers. Stock Boost setting on our cars are around 8-10psi. If the RC is set to max (S2 dial = 7), I think it cranks the boost to around 16psi or thereabouts. I normally drive in comfort mode and don't give it too much gas, but on the occasional mood, I'll put it into Sports mode with Sport Gearing and man it fires up really well!!! Just for your info, I've been on setting 4 for almost a year with stock charge pipe (Before I recently upgraded them) with no issue. It also depends on what petrol you put into your car. I'm running 98 RON fuel. Happy tuning |

Mod number 10: LCI AC trim with illuminated LED lighting
An interior upgrade mod. Happen to stumble upon this Mod in the DIY section written by a very wise forum member named Dante!!! Here's the link to his thread with all the details of it: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1165755 The youtube clip to remove the trim was quite handy, but it took me some time to try and figure out how to remove the OEM middle console panel (with all the buttons) from the OEM trim. I ended up using a credit card and various plastic membership cards from my wallet to pry open the clips. Once it came off, I inserted it into the new AC LCI trim, clipped it on and re-installed it. Dante goes through the connection of the Y-cable very well, and has also written up details of how to build one if you are keen. The AC LCI trim piece can be ordered through your local dealership. See the linked thread above for further details on the retrofit. Word of advice: anyone who is gonna do this Mod, you gotta be patient, especially when unclipping the plugs, because they are a BITCH to remove!!! (some of them have tabs that hold it in, so don't just yank on it). Not a hard Mod, but can be frustrating. Anyways, took some photos of the process with my rheumatoid arthritis shaky hands using the phone camera, so quality isn't great.... |
