540i xDrive Stage 2+ BM3

The car is now Stage 2.
  • VRSF Catted Downpipe
  • Evolve Automotive Tune
  • Masata Charge Pipe
  • XHP Stage 2

The car wasn't 'slow' when stock but now it has transformed into something else! The power is crazy! It just pulls and pulls. Need to get it on a Rolling Road and get some Draggy times going. The charge pipe was added to ensure more reliability. I've heard mixed comments saying the stock charge pipe is fine and others have said it needs to be replaced. For piece of mind I decided to replace it.

Driving the car now - it feels like a new car and I haven't stopped smiling! The noise it now makes too, is great. I have had the backbox and resonator modified by PCW a while ago which just added to how good it sounds. Maintenance wise, I'm due to do an interim oil change in 3,000 miles or so and may look at changing the spark plugs to NGK 94201's gapped to .022

Really pleased with what Evolve did. I've dealt with them a few times in the past and as always, great service. They give you that confidence that you can trust them with your pride and joy!

I'll upload some sound clips/videos on my IG soon.

Few pics below (not that it shows much as most of it is underneath )
