Bmw m340i 2022 upgrades
Hi, as of right now I have a bmw m340ix 2022, I know the ecu is locked and I have no intention of sending my ecu overseas to get unlocked. I so far have only done a Bms cold air intake but that's it, what else should I do even though the ecu is locked. Here are the things im looking at doing
1. Catted downpipe 200 2. Awe track exhaust 3. Pure 800 turbo 4. New spark plugs Any recommendations, not planning on getting jb4 or race chip did not have a good experience with them. |

Hmmmm. AWE track and catted DP is going to be LOUD.
I have the nonres touring with AA DP, which seemed loud, but kind of mellowed out. Not sure if it’s me adjusting or if it’s broken in. Either way, I’m getting the resonated pipes installed today… I would think an AWE exhaust with a 400 catted DP ( avoid CEL and reduced smell) for a better exhaust tone and slight performance bump. But, Unfortunately you would need a custom tune to optimize it all (including pure turbo, etc….) If you don’t mind me asking, what were your experiences with the Race chip/JB4 ? |

In my opinion, upgrading the turbo without tuning the car is a waste of money.
No need for new spark plugs either unless your stock ones are failing. If you do not plan on tuning the car (you should give the Jb4 another try ), get an intake, downpipe, and exhaust.

All you can do is a catted downpipe/exhaust and intake if you aren't going to add any tuning. You definitely cannot run a pure800 without a full ECU tune.

Race chip I had a problem with the plugs, contacted support never replied. only replied with some bull shit and never actually helped me. Jb4 was decently good but didn't really give me that big of a performance boost even on 105 octane and on the corresponding map for it |

The ecu would need to be programmed to your car. You can't send an unprogrammed ECU to femto because nothing will work.

I am not 100% sure how it would work. In my head, you'd have to reprogram the original ecu back to the car to take it in. You can't have two ecu's programmed to one car. A new ecu is $1500~ and then plus having someone that can program an ecu to the car. Not as easy as it sounds.

I have AWE Touring non res, Evolution racewerks catted downpipe, and CTS intake....plenty loud. Track is going to be way loud all the time...if you get a chance to hear it/drive ,etc...get better feel for it. I would probably get a headache if it was louder...

Doesn't sound like a wall of noise in the cabin, zero drone especially when in comfort/adaptive mode. There's still a nice rumble outside, and when in sport/sport+ it gets more raucous but not over the top. If you have an aftermarket down pipe, I highly recommend the resonated version. I find myself making excuses to drive!

It's subjective, one of those things you gotta try for yourself. Took me a couple of tries to get the right combo.

You can upgrade your turbo and fuel pump and use a custom Jb4 map to make more power

I installed the FTP Motorsports with little effort. Also opens up the air channel for better flow as well. |
