I normally wouldn't add an M on a car that isn't a true M but I have mine so hopped up that it will stay with most M cars.

I debadged the X3 on back so it just says M40i.

It's running 12.48 quarter mile @107 MPH with 0-60 at 4.15.

Here is an excerpt of the Svc report which took care of the four recalls earlier this year for us (including checking the fuel line routing to make sure in correct position), arciga18. Hope the new exhaust takes care of your rattle.
Thanks! Looks like a simple fix.


Got a call an hour ago that the replacement exhaust was damaged so they ordered a second replacement

I'll know more tomorrow.

Do they match the color of the other badges/kidney/vents? Looks more like polished chrome to me.

Is there a part for side ///M badging that does?

Mine are chrome, but by the time they check for gray or chrome, I’m gone!
Have fun with the Mustangs!

Is your hitch OEM factory or Stealth (hidden)? Mine was a showroom car, so no factory hitch; would like to see a factory hitch. Thanks.

What have you done besides intake? JB4 chip? Anything else? I'm wanting to make mine on par, but I'm awaiting the Dinan full tune package. Looks like on other B58's they've added a good amount. Though it's only the Stage 1. There are some with Stage 2 or Stage 3 packages (M235 I think?) that have gotten 100-115 hp/torque added to base tests. If we can get our hp/torque to something close to 450-470 hp/torgue it would be an absolute monster. Can't imagine the X3M (likely to have 475-485hp) with a Stage 2/3 tune on it pushing 575hp...crazy. I'm posting their numbers on the Dyno below.

Max HP Gain 51 @ 6500 RPM
Max Torque Gain 75 @ 3000 RPM
Peak Horsepower 426 @ 6500 RPM
Peak Torque 463 @ 3000 RPM
Peak HP Gain 36 @ 4000 RPM
Peak Torque Gain 48 @ 4000 RPM
Factory Rated HP 355 (378 Measured)
Factory Rated Torque 369 (395 Measured)

My husband installed a Blackvue 900S using a BlendMount (BBV-2018) and a MirrorTap (MTX Series; 15"). If anyone is interested I can start another thread and post pictures of the install and wiring points.

I put new shoes on today. It's been a process getting all the parts together to make it happen but I think they turned out great. The main thing is that the wife likes them and it's her daily driver. Wheels are Miro F25 19x8.5 et32. Tires are Nokian XLine SUV 255/50/19. I think the added width of the wheel and bigger tire filled out the wheel well nicely. Nice thing is each wheel setup is 6lbs lighter than stock.

ParadigmDawg I really like the look of the back with the X3 debadged and the M40i still there. I'm considering doing the same. Thanks for being a tuning guinea pig too....I'm not as brave as you, so I'm going to wait for a couple years before doing an upgrade.

Good mods! I really don’t like the cerium grey bits so i’ll probably wrap them all gloss black.

How do you remove the side vents?

Leave the M40 since a M4 is a coupe.

Best 10 minutes you will ever spend. I used barely got mine hot with a blow dryer and the dental floss cut right through it. Goo-Off got of the sticker residue in about 1 minute.
