First to mod M40i?

DrKevM5 · 10-03-2016, 12:58 PM

Mine was free.

bmwpc · 10-08-2016, 09:10 AM

[QUOTE=FSociety;19575097]Yep I would agree now, because this engine is the same one found in the "M2" without the over boost function of course and a bit detuned.

The engine in the M2 and X4M40i are the same N55B30T0.

I'm planning on doing a 1200 mile oil change myself. But it would be interesting to learn whether anyone has gotten this for free at the dealership. Anyone?

Did not ask the dealer for early oil change. Changed the oil myself at 500 miles, then again at 5,000 miles. Went with castrol European 0W40. I will continue to change every 5,000 miles. I'll let bmw do every other change during the warranty period.

BTW, I really do not like not having a dip stick!

Hey DrKevM5 - what brand spacers did you purchase for this and how are they holding up? Any photos from directly in the front/rear?

DrKevM5 · 01-15-2017, 05:16 PM

H&Rs. They're holding up beautifully. I'll try to get pics if my wife can ever keep it clean.

FSociety · 04-20-2017, 11:09 AM

Installing H&R on my X4 this weekend, should of done it last year when I got it like you haha

Did you get to compare the before and after ride ?

I was going to suggest that after seeing your friends video of your whip. Slightly stiffer ride, much improved cornering, MUCH improved stance. Don't forget the spacers!

Would love to see what she runs on the 1/4 mile in this stance, we have great weather April and May for some 1/4

Hi DrKevM5, where did you get your H&R springs for our M40i?
All I can find is for X3 or X4 28i and 35i.

DrKevM5 · 05-03-2017, 06:04 AM

Used the ones for the 35i

Same here, did you use the 15mm spacers in the front and 12mm in the rear?

The ride is so much harsher/stiffer now LOL but i guess thats in a exchange to a nicer height and less wheel gap.

DrKevM5 · 05-03-2017, 06:25 PM

I did. But tell me it doesn't look SOOOO sexy now! It's not that much harsher, is it? Maybe it doesn't seem that much harsher to me because I'm comparing it to my M2.

Mightymaus · 05-04-2017, 03:38 AM

It looks great, very nicely done. Love the X4 M40i, can't wait til I get mine (couple more months). Same color as the one in the latest picture posted, with Ivory interior.

DrKevM5 · 06-14-2017, 01:17 PM

Looks awesome! Now you need spacers! Or are they on? How do you like the ride?

Hate the ride with H&R lol, might be ordering ac schnitzer springs instead.
Maybe is time to do spacers not sure yet

Are you bringing the M2 or X4 down to BeastCoast Oct 1st ?

FSociety · 08-31-2017, 05:45 PM

DrKevM5 you've done any oil changes yourself?
Do you by any chance have a Service Record of what oil BMW used in your M2 vs your X4 ?
0w-30, 0w-40, 5w-30, 5w-40 ?

Noticing ever since my last oil change (confirmed they used 0w-30) oil runs hotter 235-240F now (tested last night that was cool) but it seems maybe they did it cuz 0w-30 is better for (Cold starts) than 5w-30 (what bmw normally uses if i remember on N55). I'm thinking of buying 0w-40 or 5w-40 LiquiMoly to do my own change once spring hits. (0w-30 is fine for stock cars but its too thin IMO for tuned cars) I feel 0w-40 would do much better at operating temp

Thx
