Mine with some new shoes…

JasonDot · 07-11-2022, 09:07 AM

Did a quick video showing the different exhaust notes of the M340 in stock form. Can you tell the car isn't 100% clean?

Wet Fish · 07-20-2022, 11:53 AM

Cleanest the car will ever be I suspect…

This sounds like it has more pops and burbles than my 21 . You sure you don't have the MPE? It sounds louder too.

Hi! I just double checked my window sticker and it does not have the MPE. Does yours have a noticeable turbo spool sound noticeable in a garage?

Turbo spool is definitely loud on this car.

What do you mean? The gap is smaller now with the bigger wheels and wider offset. It’s on a slight hill, but even so I don’t see that big a gap?

UPDATE: I see what you mean. I think that's more because it's on a hill putting weight on the front left wheel, meaning the rear right is slightly elevated,

It should be illegal for dealers to put their trashy ass name on the car like that . That will not get anybody to your dealership, it makes me avoid it . I'm not going to be free advertisement for you. Did they offer to take that off?

That's an excellent point your are bringing. I hate it as well and de-badged all my cars so this one will be as well so I didn't bother them with it but I definitely should of.. and they wouldn't offer of course.

This is such a pet peeve of mine, I can't stand the practice.

razzle45 Great build so far in 2 weeks. Where did you get the exhaust tips from? Aliexpress’ AKDrift vendor was mentioned quite a bit in another post so was curious if that’s still the place to get them.

Enjoy the ride!!

The best looking car on the road! I just don't understand all the negative comments about the grill on the new 4 series. I am ready to order one but the tech packs are no longer available. I'm torn between mineral white metallic or black. Yours looks fab!!!!
