I've placed several orders with Speed Industry in the last 6 months without any issues. My most recent orders included the AWE Touring Exhaust and AA Catted Downpipe. Both of which were backordered items and I emailed immediately after placing the order to have them inform me of the expected...
I found some oil in my intake pipe right where that small hose connects near the turbo after about 1600 miles. There is definitely some blow-by making it into the intake. No oil found in the charge pipe. However, after seeing the oil I installed the BMS Catch Can but haven't driven the car...
Dave,
Is there any noticeable difference in exhaust tone between the 2020 and 2021 models with the AWE Touring system installed? I'd imagine the lower compression ratio and 6-port may deepen the tone slightly compared to the 2020. Almost all sound clips I've found are of 2020's...
Bimmer_Remote just updated my 21' 3.0 firmware to have Full screen CarPlay!! It's awesome and the whole experience was very smooth. 10/10 recommend!!

You'll need an ENet Cable...
I used this same technique on the Intake manifold on my TT Z32 back in the day. It looks nice for a while but will eventually get corroded and cloudy if you don't coat the metal with something. Rebuffing the parts with Mothers works too but that's too much maintenance for me!
Heads up, this entire line up from AWE has a current lead time of 10+ weeks. The AWE website and distributors do not have this listed. I was not aware of this till almost a week after I placed my order for the Resonated Touring system. I'm probably more patient than most so it wasn't a big deal...
It has been dyno proven in several cases that installing a catless DP without a tune will net you zero power gains and in some cases cause a slight loss in power. Hold off on a new DP until you are ready/able to tune. Stick with an upgraded intake and catback exhaust for now.
I purchased a set of black A91 wheels from a guy in Miami for $600 and they were in perfect condition (~300miles of use). Though that was a good deal I would have not paid more than $800.
The stock trim is a Matte or flat black and the lip is a gloss black, similar to the A pillars. Originally, I wanted to paint the Maxton lip to match the flat black factory trim but once it was on the car I decided to leave it gloss black. It looks better than I thought it would.
Went for a 1 hour spirited drive this morning around 8:30am. 58-60 Degrees F, Breezy with all blue skies in Orlando, FL. Pulled up next to a 2020 Carrera S Turbo at a traffic light and we raced to about 75mph, he won lol. I assume a doctor, he pulled into a medical complex shortly after our run...
I messaged MST on Instagram and they suggested I purchase the part through Speed Industry if I was in the USA. I find it very disappointing that they would tax existing MST owners 50%+ for the same part. I should not have to ask for a discount, the price needs to be lowered permanently.
Kind of shitty that anyone who already purchased the MST CAI kit has to pay $180 plus shipping for the inlet pipe, while anyone who is buying the CAI Kit + Inlet pipe only pays $95 more. Should have been a $100 part for anyone.... Gouging at its finest...
