My 430i pretty much stock on Friday night, right after a Dinan CAI install.



I ended up pulling the CAI and inlet back out after having trouble getting to the charge pipe, but got it all back in. (FTP charge pipe). Also picture, my DME that got back from FEMTO in 10 days (Labor Day delayed shipping a couple of days).



AA catted downpipe before install.



I would have never found that negative battery terminal there if I hadn't referenced the manual and took time to look for it, but good to know where it is.



This is also new to me, there is a small 2nd battery under this cover that is for auto start stop. Never knew that was there.

This beaut that I rented while waiting on my DME. 78 HP Mitsubishi Mirage. Yes 78hp 3 cylinder It got the job done though.

Femto just unlocks, but as far as I know, there is still no way around the going through them on the newer cars. I went with BM3 and blew my mind how much of a difference such an easy mod can make. I was contemplating just getting a piggyback tuner and calling it a day, but if I want to go further in the future, I didn't want the DME to be a hinderance.

Awesome! I did something similar with my car. I got my MST intake, Milltek catback, and replacement grill and trunk spoiler before I even got the car. Bought the car mid-week and it had all the parts on it by that Saturday. My AA dp is going on this weekend.

Side note, I'm right down the road from Alexandria lol
