F36 Estoril Blue 'Jalopnik edition' :)

Ok,
so DimSport bolt-on box is installed

Stock my car dynoed at 191HP and 262Nm after box installation it is 250HP and 355Nm of torque

So- very healthy 428i level at fraction of the price here (15% of BMW upcharge for 28i here)

The box has 4 parameters which really affect how the engine respond. We took around 20 dyno trials to find the sweet spot for my needs.
It could get better HP (260-270) but the graphs didn't look as good (losing a lot after 5000rpms) and I wanted safe option with this box.
I'll post the graphs soon. Now it drives like crazy

Couldn't be happier with my car.

Wow that's a pretty big gain! Good of you to keep it safe those 10hp extra are not going to make that big of a difference for the damage they might do long term..
Could you report on fuel consumption number differences after a few miles as well? What was your current?

Also if you get the chance do some rolling start races next to a 428i that should be interesting! I'd offer but I live quite a bit away from you

Always great to see the bigger picture

My current is 8.5 liters after 9000 kilometers.
I did like 200km so far on a box and didn't notice any change when driving normally. Of course higher power makes you use it, but I had to rev the stock tune high anyway, so so far it seems about the same. We'll see in a longer run.

GuitarMike · 11-08-2015, 02:16 PM

Here are the dynos:

Measured on E95 in Europe.
Will have to use E98 in the future. What gains (if any?) can I expect ?

competition · 11-08-2015, 06:18 PM

Nice!

GuitarMike · 03-03-2016, 09:02 AM

New oil, Air Filter, bit of adjustments on the box settings and here we go with 260HP and 390Nm of torque

Quad tips looks awesome... where did u get those? I'm thinking about doing this as well but with an extra pair of oem tips. Unless there are better options out there.

GuitarMike · 03-04-2016, 02:02 AM

It's SuperSprint.

GuitarMike · 03-08-2016, 12:29 PM

New set of wheels is on

19" 442M Orbit Grey - the way I should configure it from the start

ATLBlue · 03-08-2016, 04:07 PM

Nice! Now on to spacers and (H&R?) springs and it will be perfect

Before installing coilovers, I had changed the springs and not only did the car look better but it also handled better.

VMRWheels · 03-09-2016, 12:33 AM

Looks really good! Are you planning on keeping it at that height?

Mikli · 03-09-2016, 12:58 AM

How does the ss exhaust sound?

For the time being - Yes, it's gonna stay as I drive through some steep parkways etc. And optically car looks so much better with those 19", I don't notice the gap as much as before.

It's more bassy, deep and a bit louder that stock. Also has some burbles which stock didn't have. It's not a monster. I changed just the mid pipe and exhaust. With downpipe and frontpipe it will get more aggressive tone. But that's for later.

kemiksiz · 03-09-2016, 03:13 AM

Add some spacers, like 12mm / 15mm or 15mm/18mm set

And please lower it a bit, 3-3.5 cm will make a huuge improvement

Great Car!

BIMPY3011 · 03-09-2016, 11:40 AM

nice car. love the work you put in to it.

From that point of view it looks like your inner tubes are only added to the outer ones, but this is not true, or?

GuitarMike · 03-24-2016, 11:41 AM

Thinking of adding black M4 mirrors. Yay or nay ? Or too much poser...
What I hope to achieve mainly is to make wind noise less audible considering autobahn speeds.
