BMW Performance

cahoont · 06-10-2010, 06:45 PM

Finally got my car back from the dealer today. What was supposed to take six hours, took 3 days!

Haven't had a chance to really get on it, but it does feel "punchier." I do also get a nice "clap" from the exhaust as well. Taken with my iPhone, sorry for the poor quality.

Had the following installed:
BMW Performance Air Intake
BMW Performance Exhaust
BMW Performance Carbon Fiber Strut Brace

David@Sonic MS · 06-10-2010, 06:47 PM

why bring it to the dealer. i bet they charge you arm and legs to get it install..

Verbiage · 06-10-2010, 06:55 PM

Damn that must have been MAJOR $$$$$$ for all those Performance parts

Congrats!

cahoont · 06-10-2010, 07:01 PM

It wasn't too bad, the dealership offers a 15% discount on parts & labor for BMW Car Club Members. That membership has paid for itself many times over!

OlivaresAnthony · 06-10-2010, 07:54 PM

you should get a bms pbx next

Seriously! You must be rolling in the cheese!!

benny90 · 06-10-2010, 08:40 PM

Forgot to mention, very cool! I wish I could do that to mine but my dealer definitely doesn't do any club memberships and definitely doesn't discount anything

they already charge an arm and leg for the parts, this time they took his balls.

That CF strut brace is pure sex. I don't know if I would buy it, but it looks fantastic!!!

The CF strut brace is soooo nice! Congrats on the new mods!!!

cahoont · 06-10-2010, 09:32 PM

Next mod is probably gonna be Dinan High Flow Throttle Body, then BMW Performance Brakes.

spdy330 · 06-10-2010, 09:40 PM

I am looking for the Performance Intake too. Possibly the European version though. Car looks great but the tips stick out too far. You should search my post on the PE and see what I did to solve that.

Great job OP!!!!

Verbiage · 06-10-2010, 10:08 PM

Maybe its just the angle that makes the tips look like they are sticking out too far?

Hmm. Maybe I'm a bit blind, then. I'm too used to seeing dual exhausts all the time to tell the difference

JaysBlueE92 · 06-10-2010, 10:22 PM

Nice..definitely software upgrade time soon

Not sure if you saw the before and after on my post but they stuck out way too much. Had them cut and rewelded. They now look the way they should have been designed.

Definitely agree, they made them stick out to far and made the tips too short

Oh so the set of pics on the first page was before? I was wondering why they looked similar.. I'll go back and look again.
