Cheap and simple. 50/50 water meth mix right out of 7 eleven. No problems just nozzles installed wrong. Went back to dual cm7 since the larger nozzles were too much and lost power. I've already serviced my car with it. They didn't say anything. The people who are worried about their car getting flagged... should just stick to rims and cf bits. Because realistically they can flag you for the jb4.
They can flag you for anything really, but I find most dealer are pretty cool and don't care. We bring our fully modded M3 into the shop for maintenance and no one cares. They do the work, say nice ride and I am on my way.

I wouldn't expect problems either for routine maintenance. It's when something fails or breaks and you try to bring it in for warranty service and they deny you is when you'll run into problems. And even if you bolt everything back up to stock and remove any sign of modification after breaking something, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a note in the past during routine maintenance that there was modification to the car in some way. That's why IMO it's better to be safe than sorry, and return everything to stock before even something as basic as an oil change is done at the dealer. I don't know anything for sure, these are just my assumptions and opinions.

Personally I like smaller nozzles for superior atomization. Terry recommends Dual cm7. My car felt the best on Dual cm5

Are most of you running 1 gallon or the 3 gallon stealth tank?

Huge price difference but if it's worth it not a huge deal

How's the transmission/Xdrive holding up with that much power? I've read posts of transmission slipping with JB4/Intake/downpipe without meth.

No issue yet, all though recently I realized I love using paddles in comfort mode when driving hard it shifts so much smoother lol. Normally I never drove in C mode but I kind of like it

The 1G tank can go down pretty fast if you are nailing the car but its a popular choice due to the cost. Really comes down to how aggressively you drive. More aggressive = bigger tank needed.

Why does it go from 20 to 200 for 1.3 gallon difference then only 30 more to add another .70. The math is bonkers on that.

You're paying for the R&D/tooling/production costs it took to custom design that tank to fit in the trunk floor. The other tanks appear to be off-the-shelf but result in a messier install. If I go WMI, it'll be the stealth setup. Choose your poison.

Not really a stealth setup when you pop the hood and see a plate and two nozzles pre throttle body... I'd say the only benefits of 3 gallon tank are the capacity and the fact you still have trunk space.

BMS calls it the stealth tank; just using their nomenclature. I agree and don't think anyone will assume a billet plate with hoses coming out of it is a factory setup.

EWG on the way coming tomorrow but ran with 40 additive (100% meth). It's a good time . I'd compare it to adding a JB4 map 2 on top of a JB4 on map 2 lol. And since there's a gas station near me that sells 99.2% pure methanol for 2.83 a gallon life is good ?
