G30 540i 2017 Sports Cat 200 Cell Stage 0?

540ixdrive · 10-03-2023, 04:30 PM

Hi so I got my sports cat installed I did it only for the sound to be honest, and from being resonator deleted only and now this id say makes a good 30% or so sound increase sounds amazing.

Anyways, is it fine for me to stay on stage 0 MHD I care about longevity ofc I want to keep this car for a long time. Is there anything wrong with keeping it on MHD stage 0, or do I need a fuel air mixture tuning done otherwise I'm damaging anything? Or losing fuel efficiency? Basically any drawbacks at all to me staying on stage 0?

NOTE: I use MHD to just simply mess around with burble settings ( i know about not going crazy aggressive and more than 1.5 secs etc)

Thanks in advance

Going stage 1 and you'll see how much more fun your car will be to drive. Many have gone stage 1 with zero problems.

^ What he said.

You don't have to be constantly hooning on it to enjoy the benefits; IMO the car is just more enjoyable to drive in general (my tune is bm3, but I'm sure they're similar in this regard).

As others have said, you should just go stage 1.
It drives like stock if you’re not getting on it.. although you’re gonna want to punch it… a lot….
