It can change how the car feels to an extent if you make a drastic change (like buying extremely heavy wheels), but as long as you get the correct bolt pattern and don't get something too deep/wide it won't do much. Worst case scenario is your speedo is off a few percent (if you go from 19" to...

2027 M2 is getting an X-Drive option https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a71473783/2027-bmw-m2-xdrive-all-wheel-drive-details/

Crazy find, if you haven't really noticed the car being all that faster than expected or it drives fine without any tuning it's probably a 600/650/700.

I've heard the Valvetronic open and closed, closed valve it's not much different than stock, open valve it's very loud especially with a catless DP. Really just depends on how loud you actually want to be (or, how quiet you want to be), I'd just check that exhaust comparison video that was...

Yes, FEMTO calls it a "bench unlock" but it is an actual full ECU unlock and not the basic unlock for pre-2020 ECU's that any decent BMW shop can do.

They have it labeled wrong, or in a misleading way. It is a full proper unlock. there's a lot of guys who have done full true unlocks via FEMTO Miami already.

Femto does unlocks in the US now out of Miami and for cheaper than ever (for me it's only $400 plus shipping) https://us-orders.femtoevo.com/ A lot easier and faster than it was years ago.

Alright you finally sold me, ordered.

I'd imagine if you do it too many times in a row, especially if you're doing spirited / track driving while doing so, you may end up over-heating the transmission leading to it not wanting to shift for safety reasons. That's the only possibly explanation I can think of, and not a very likely...

fwiw the two aftermarket ones that I tried (armaspeed and AMS) both only half-worked with windows open and with the windows closed it gave me a wind rushing sound that made it sound like my windows were still open a crack. Granted, I use the M-style mirror caps, so maybe the fins on those direct...

Looks great man! I just put on the front side skirt extenders and it does really help the look. I have the rear side skirt extenders too but haven't put them on yet. Wish that they re-stocked the diffuser pieces faster though, ordered them through Enjuku in April (because you can't backorder on...

Definitely not my intention to run OTS maps with upgraded fueling! I'm moreso referring to if there's a power and/or smoothness gain that's noticeable if you do a custom E40/E50 MHD tune on stock fueling vs on HPFP+Injectors. What I'm saying is that after I get my unlock done next month, I'm...

In my case I mean things like the Lambo tax on mods, though I've heard the Gallardo isn't actually as bad as you'd think yeah? But yeah the "lambo problems" in terms of like reliability are almost the same thing as non-bmw guys saying BMW's are "check engine light machines" that constantly end...

Of course, for me full E85 would mainly be a quality of life thing over having to do E-blending anymore than a chasing crazy power numbers thing. Basically, I want to switch from JB4 to MHD now that FEMTO is in Miami. If I don't fall in love with the OTS E40 map, I'll want to get a custom tune...

Yes that's the plan, I want to run OTS for some time while I research potential tuners (and determine if I'm happy with OTS, at which point I'd save HPFP/Injectors/Custom tune until turbo upgrade.) I wouldn't do HPPF+Injectors unless I decide on getting a custom tune on the stock turbo, and...

I apologize if this has been answered 100 times (I wasn't really able to determine a clear answer from what else I was able to find other than "it can sometimes help with ethanol blends") Would a HPFP + Injectors be worth it for a MHD E40 custom tune or is the power to be had negligible? I'm...

I don't even get why people were so toxic about it in the first place, the Gallardo is an amazing car for the money. Sure it's older and comes with Lambo problems, but OP already knew that going into it, and it doesn't make it any less of an awesome ride.

With my catless, 12B701 is the one I get from time to time and just clear with JB4. JB4 calls it "Lambda probe heating after catalytic converter". Usually comes on if I give the car too much throttle before it's fully warmed up (4 bars on engine water temp) but never comes on in any other...

2 - The only bolt-on that will give measurable performance gains is a downpipe, take your pick between a high-flow cat or a catless. Tends to make a pretty big difference in power, although a tune of some kind is needed to bring out the best of it (and prevent throttle closures in the case of...

I've just been using the Armaspeed ones since I got the car (fronts only, never installed the back ones so I can't speak for those.) and they seem to fit well and hold up 10K miles later, albeit they don't quite look OEM at least from what I've seen of the rear fitment. Would recommend it as a...
