I actually went to see Alex at his shop, paid for the shop minimum 1 hour of labor, and he put it in for me. Had I not been peppering him with questions, snapping photos and generally geeking out I think it would have been about a 25 min job for him Point being IMHO there is no way any competent mechanic with a lift should be charging more than an hour for the job. If they do they either don't know what they are doing or are price-gouging

ps- while there he took my Son and Me for a ride in his personal X3M that he had just purchased for some R&D....absolutely ridiculous what he did with that car

Nice. Thanks for the information! I’m wondering if I’ll notice any performance benefits from the catted DP until we wait for ‘21s DME to be cracked. Or if a JB4 and catted DP will play nice.

Sure...hope it helped.

Fuel-It! from the forum, who often posts regarding JB4 and other Burger products, is a partner of BMS and his products are sold by BMS (I would therefore consider him an expert when it comes to JB+, JB4). That said he recently shared the following regarding BMS Piggybacks & DPs "BMS doesn't suggest DP for any B58 model, the factory DP flows pretty well and if you replace it you'll have odor and warranty problems. Gains with DP maybe 15whp."

For info on performance gains on a stock car - I read a post earlier today from someone that installed a DP on their otherwise stock F36 B58. Long story short he did see some performance gains. Obviously not exactly apples to apples for us with our G20's but pretty darn close and probably worth a read.
https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=24

**edit** ps- if you do read the post I linked above, keep in mind the exhaust on the Fxx B58 cars is much different than ours so his sound impressions would not be applicable to us

yes I purchased CG Precision DS1 from mike at x-ph.com - he had the best landed price I could find

Pro-tip: I've found the best way to get Mike's most aggressive pricing is to PM him here from the forum - don't simply go by what you see on his website.

Hope this helps....

to me that 1psi of boost felt more of a change when i swtiched from MAP1 to MAP2

although the JB4 wont be a longterm thing, its good enough for now

I did that with my f30 340 for a while and it wasn't bad, but the car stank like crazy because it was running too rich and the idles were a bit rough sometimes.

You're going to fee a difference in performance even with DP. You're going to love the tune, I'm stage 2 catted DP mission and the car is like a rocket.

As for Chargepipe, look into Injen, I was the test car for their intake and Chargepipe. They make one for supra and they tried it on my car and it slips on very easily.

Hey guys,

i need your help.

i may be in a good position to replace my M340i rn as the market trade ins are high...with that being said, if you had the opportunity to get into a 2021 X3 M (non comp) for about the same monthly payment, would you do it? or keep the M340i?

my goal is the eventually get into the new G80 M3 comp once my lease is up.

if i keep my m340i i only have 2 more yrs left on the lease

if i get into the X3M the lease will be up in time for the LCI update on the G8X m3.

What are your thoughts?! i need some help on what you guy think or would do?

Anyway to the OP my plans are essentially the same as yours so I’ll be looking forward to your experience!
Mission performance is all about performance and longevity of the engine. I have a 2020 and it came within the burbles and pops and wheel I tuned with mission performance the pops and burbles were a lot quieter and only really occur when I downshift at the right rpm.
