Great car and spec OP!!!

Have fun and watch how poor the mpg is when you need to listen to the MPPSK exhaust all the time!

I had the same rattle, was hard to get it to happen with a tech in the car, but luckily it did and it's now sorted for me.

Yeah, I was quite nervous about the the Shadow Look, but I love it!

Life's too short to not have the MPPSK. You'll do it if you love your car

On the downside of the MPPSK, Sport it is not usable at cruising speed on the motorway/dual carriageway - the drone is uncomfortable - but then that's what Comfort mode is for right?!
Agreed - it's one of the reasons I went with a non-Adaptive setup (so the suspension doesn't go soft in Comfort). To stop drone I use Comfort and have the car in manual, you then still get the epic noise above 3500 rpm, but zero drone and motorway speeds.

Yeah - is a bit of a shame that you can't have comfort mode with the firmer setup if you want.
Still - exhaust is a lot better now that the bolt issue has been fixed - damn that made a horrible noise!!

At last - we have found a reason to spec X-drive!

I guess you don't mean the wheel gap? I live in the Mid-Atlantic so we see a fair amount of snow some years. Also petrol is much less than I would pay in the UK so not as big thought process to loose mpg....

Beautiful car, OP! Love the darkened taillights. Could you confirm that the indicators illuminate amber? Thank you!

Nice! Have you the pictures of the mock carbon trim? I want to see how this looks in the flesh as nowhere has this yet around me.

You've probably worked it out by now, but if you set the sport mode button to "Chassis Only", you can simply flick the gear lever left to select sport mode.

Works perfect on 335d, although unfortunately, devoid of bonfire night sound effects
