for that box of turd, I think someone did buy it and made a youtube video for unboxing, he made way more money from that youtube video than the cost of the turd, i guess it was still worth it lol.

European cats have higher precious metal content than domestic. Especially old domestic. The fact is, European cats bring more and the scrap yard than domestic cats. Go ahead, ask me how I know. |

My point is that the BMW cat is less valuable to a scrapper than as a whole to a person needing said cat.

Apparently OP is in a unique situation where he is positive he wont need his ever again. For most, the $200 spent on a catless is a wise move (and save OEM cat). |

Yes, I definitely don't ever need a cat again, because theres no emission checks here, anyone who takes their cat off wont ever need to put it back. Thats why theres a surplus for cats at the yards so they don't worth much locally.

Your state-of-the-art Bimmer is now spewing out as much NOx and unburned hydrocarbons as 100 catted vehicles. Congrats! And BTW, where did the hundreds of dollars of precious metals go?

Well, 20% of it is probably in my lungs lol. I tried not to breath the dust but there was a lot. The other 80% is still in my backyard in a big flower pot where I drilled it. All the precious metals are still there in large chunks. Don't worry, I didn't just dump it in the drain to kill some poor fish.

Today I drove to work, all good, still no CEL, but I noticed the engine ticking noise is a lot more prominent at idle, which I don't like. I may have caught the mod bug now, one thing leads to the next, I'm considering muffler delete, just to mask the ticking engine noise is my excuse. EDIT: Also, for my tranny holding it's gears, I was thinking just now, could it be that the car is trying to warm up faster by staying at higher rpm ? Since cat got gutted, the warm up will take longer, could that be the case ?

So I got the CEL tonight What's weird is, my idrive vehicle status says "All systems OK" but the CEL is on, I'll reset it tomorrow and see if it will last.

It was good while it lasted.. I never heard of a catless F series BMW without a CEL, it will keep popping up unless you disable the system with a tune. I recently spoke to a tech at Dinan and he informed me that modern BMWs have 12 different checks dedicated just to emission fault detection. It was inevitable you would get a CEL. |

Spacers and Cat Simulators used to work with older E series BMW when they use the Siemens MSD80 ECU, these new Bosch units they don't. You'll eventually spring a CEL. Sorry. |
