Help suggesting tune and/or exhaust
Hi all; Due to state of the world, I can't order a new M3 so I'm going to buy my 2019 M550i at the end of the lease in a couple months. I want to A) change the exhaust so it sounds much more aggressive and/or B) tune the car so it goes faster, although its pretty fast as it is.
Can anyone suggest the best options or companies I can look at for value vs. performance or thoughts? Thanks in advance! |

Tunes:
bm3 (if you don't mind OTS) Cary Jordan (custom tune that can be requested through bm3) Jordan @ RKTunes (also a custom tune, but through his website) Dinan (if you don't mind spending the extra money) Exhaust: Just get downpipes and delete your resonators, and you will probably be happy with that (note that any Stage 2 tune, no matter which tune/tuner you go with, is going to require you to have catless downpipes). Else, you could go Dinan or Remus, but I'm hearing about massive delays coming from both. A resonator delete is easy, and downpipes can be had much more quickly (ARM, VRSF (although VRSF has seen some delays). Personal setup: ARM downpipes Currently Stage 2 E30 OTS bm3 tune (this is the first tune I got for my car, btw) Going Stage 2 E50 this week (waiting on my first revision as we speak) through RK. Experience: Current setup has been 100% solid. I've tuned several of my BMWs in the past (550i, 335is, M3, 335d, to name a few), so didn't go into this with my eyes closed.

You can do tune (my favorite is bm3) + ARM downpipe + resonator delete. The car will sound nice and it's not an expensive setup
or for an even better sound, you can do tune + a catted downpipe + REMUS exhaust

Thank you both but as a layman who doesn't know jack about car mechanics;
1. Where do I go for ARM downpipes & to delete my resonator? Midas type shop or a special import type mechanic place? How much should that run approx? 2. The bm3 tune; Same questions I guess, where do I get, how much should it be & do you know the hp & torque gains on it? Thank you very much; really helpful so far! |

Resonator delete can be done by most any muffler shop, so wherever you're comfortable. https://www.protuningfreaks.com/coll...m550-750i-tune It will require some additional hardware to connect your car to a device (PC, iPhone, Android). That's all listed in the above link. The %'s for gains are also listed in the above link.
