My 2019 M550i with a few upgrades.. resonator delete/bmc air filters/spacers/coding

Just got this car and I love it.

Had the resonators removed. What an improvement in sound. It really does sound amazing and the videos don't do it justice. Also got a set of BMC air filters and they also improved the sound from the front end. I got 20mm rear spacers and 17.5mm front spacers from Turner Motorsports. They make the stock wheels look much better - car shouldve came with all of these modifications from the factory.

I had some coding done. M animation at start, video in motion, and a few other things. Finally I had the car Quartz ceramic coated to keep the paint looking as good as possible. Swirl marks drive me crazy.

Enjoy the photos and videos.

love the setup bro the exhaust sounds SO much better, what did they replace the resonators with? (straight, x or h pipe) and do you know if they used a 2.75 or 3.0 inch piping? (stock exhaust is 2.75)

Looking good.
17.5mm front huh? I thought 15mm was already pushing it.

Car sounds great, what shop did you use for the resoator delete? Thanks

I tried a couple and they were clueless so I didn't do it and other shop wanted $500..

Sounds awesome! I was thinking of doing the same thing with the resonators but worried about warranty issues.
