Thanks! 600 miles and counting so far. I coded a bunch of stuff today, and am really getting the hang of it. Haven't bricked it yet!

bri1042 · 05-07-2016, 06:14 AM

Hah, you've done more miles than I have. I have the software loaded and a cable. I may get brave and plug the cable in tomorrow. What did you code?

mtx450 · 05-07-2016, 01:30 PM

Anyone with a 340i noticing some slight throttle stumble after restarting a warm engine that's been off for like 15 or so mins? Doesn't happen cold. It has a rough idle and a hiccup or two but then smooths out after 30 seconds.

flipporabasta · 05-07-2016, 02:50 PM

congrats to a nice car

Big Nodge · 05-07-2016, 03:04 PM

Jealous of those miles! I did take delivery yday but with life getting in the way I've only been able to drive home from the dealership so far

Car is sick though.

Yes. I think it's the mpe I noticed it too

bri1042 · 05-09-2016, 06:00 AM

I don't have the MPE and haven't noticed it, but I'll post if I do.

mtx450 · 05-10-2016, 06:32 AM

I'll be at close to 1k miles by the end of today! Haha, within a week!

Haven't had the weird idle/hesitation happen again, but not confident that it's gone forever.

One major thing to note about this engine is how crazy fuel efficient is if you keep your foot out of it. Only costing me about $40 to fill up on 93. That's better then my Honda Accord!!

Finally collected my car yesterday. Engine is superb! All worth the wait in my opinion! Racked up 200 miles in a few hours last night.

Big Nodge · 05-10-2016, 12:07 PM

I just hit 100 miles

I need to drive this thing some more!

It finally arrived! looks amazing

I added the front splitter to my car too I did the 0Z3Q though
also added the rear diffuser and body molor rocker panel blades

mtx450 · 05-12-2016, 08:51 AM

I'm at 1100 miles so far!!

Car is a blast. Steering (VSS) took some getting used to, because I'm switching back between this and my other car (Honda Accord). The brakes are truly amazing, one of the best parts of the car IMO (besides having to wash it all the time).

mtx450 · 05-12-2016, 06:43 PM

Spent the whole day washing and lightly detailing the car. Still needs a good polish to correct all the defects from delivery (including the shitty detail job from the dealership). Once that's done, I'll give it a nice waxing to finish it off.

I also spent some time polishing up the Shadowline exterior trim around the doors (which was swirls galore). Needs more work with the DA this weekend.

dKNIGHT83 · 05-12-2016, 07:28 PM

Car looks great!!

mtx450 · 05-23-2016, 09:21 PM

Still love this car. Sitting at 2100 miles on the odometer now.

Hit a mega huge pothole coming home from CT last weekend and thought for sure I broke the car in half. No damage that I can see (took off the wheel and gave it a full inspection) but man these RFT need to go! They are so rough.

bri1042 · 05-24-2016, 05:40 AM

Heh, I really need to find some time to go drive...I'm at a month and still in the break-in miles. It's been a really busy month! Glad to hear that you're enjoying your car!

mtx450 · 07-07-2016, 01:10 PM

BMW intake installed! Actually installed it a while ago, but didn't update this thread. DP and JB4 next!!

Only an audible difference. I think it's worth it. It's a nice billet aluminum piece. Mike at N54 Tuning was great to deal with.

I gotta order it but I was holding off until the jb4 is out of beta. I can't wait to hear the sound of the dp with the mpe exhaust!
