Just wondering

A lot of these modifications look really cool but how do they effect your warranty?

That downpipe looks pretty awesome. Actually that intake looks pretty trick as well!

If your engine blows up, they aren't going to void your warranty because you installed an aftermarket spoiler. However, if you also have a JB4 tuner installed, you're in trouble.

I don't see the intake on their site, is this unreleased or a mod from another B58 car version?

Edit: Disregard, I found it

How hard was the install? Or did you let a shop install it?

Installed a carbon front splitter. The knock off oem ones all seemed to be the same the first vendor I went to seemed like it was in stock it wasn't and it started to become a run around so I snagged one from Ikon motorsports. Fitment was perfect for what it is. Freight company called today the m performance exhaust will be here tomorrow.

Looks great! Do you know where to order the carbon fiber cubby door (where the wireless charger pad hides beneath)? I have piano black. Would love to replace.

Exhaust showed up, thanks GetBMWparts!!!!




Hoping it sounds good otherwise I'm gonna have to buy the AA downpipe. (I'll be so upset ) Think someone asked if it was titanium. Def not, the M car exhausts probably are the only ones that are.

Really eager to get your opinions on it after installed. How much louder is it at startup (valves closed) and acceleration (valves open) compared to stock?

I should have it back today. My vette had the NPP exhaust on it and there was a rather larger difference from it to the base exhaust hoping its a jump like that car is def to quiet atm. Oh and I hit 1200 miles last week so I can finally drive it.

You have a C7 as well? Me too! I have stock NPP with Borla X-pipe. Same tone as stock but about 30% louder cursing around and twice as loud at WOT.

Wife got preg so I got the 240 sold my 17 C7. I bought it brand new was good 5 years. I got lucky and grabbed the borla xpipe as well before they stopped making them. That car wide open was enough to require plugging your ears outside of it. Loved it, probably the only thing I miss about the car really.

I may get that over the dinan
I don’t have any sound clips of it atm,it sounds pretty good. But it’s not as loud as I thought it would be. Luckily I didn’t buy it for the sound lol - The one I’m using is for the M340i

RK tunes did the install,the front bumper has to be removed which is the hardest part of the install obviously. Rest is easy

Ok cool, thanks, I may then just go for the Dinan for the sake of easy install and CF goodness.

I received my OE G8X gloss CF upper steering wheel trim the other day. Sadly, the lower piece is tied up in another order with the console and cup holder lid, of which a backorder on the console is holding it up. As silly as it may look, I am considering installing this for now, without the lower piece in hand. I just finished the same install to my x3m, but this one attaches differently. I assume/hope it will be self explanatory once the airbag is off; which does appear to come off in the same fashion that I recently learned on the other car.
