Yes thanks I forgot to mention I had read up on this prior to driving the 340i. But in a thread I came across some people who had both, a factory optioned car and coded car, said there was still an obvious difference between the two. A few people said that actually. So there's still something different perhaps in the coding that's being overlooked since apparently the hardware is all the same. People who've never driven a 2TB car might feel a difference but are still not getting the full feature.
Coming from a car that IMO I've modified extensively I don't want to do too much to this one. Maybe get the MPPK/MPPSK and/or intake for a little more noise and that's it. I keep reading about people tuning and coding these cars for parts like aftermarket downpipes and getting CELs and when going back to stock it still not going away. With how computerized these cars are I'm getting the feeling it's best not to mess with them too much.
