Nev's 2019 X3 M40i in Carbon Black

X3M40i_Nev · 01-18-2020, 05:27 AM

Last 2 x 21"s Summer wheels GTechniq C5 ceramic coated ready for the summer. Before anyone comments, tyre dressing will only be done when back on car 👍

does the C5 make the wheels shiny or do they hold the matt finish ?

If only it could look like that in all light conditions!

Can you share an update on how you feel about the exhaust mod? 100% happy, regret it or do you wish that resonator was modded as well?

Very happy, but if someone did a res mod and I liked, I could be tempted 😂

Thanks. It been nearly impossible to find a video of just a backbox mod as pretty much everyone does a backbox and res delete. Your video is a saving grace!

I am on the verge of having the backbox on my M140i modded but leaving the resonator stock. I just fancy a touch more volume, a few coughs and the odd crackle.

More noice can easily be wrenched out of the engine by shifting the ZF8 manually and keep revs above 4k rpm which is regularly do anyway.

Mate, the M140i with only backbox is a very good option, sounds great.

I turned ASD off again and much much better, even get a few burbles on low speed lift, but not to be obnoxious 👍
