Lol I started that as soon as I coded the car to have the turn signals blink 6 times rather than only 3! I now understand why BMW owners have a bad wrap of not using signals!

Thread title updated thanks to Steven!! And also thanks to Jeremy for the suggestion on the name

Had updated the exhaust setup recently and made a new video, had to ditch the old setup due to fitment issues, should have done this quite a while ago..

Esteban, that sounds awesome. It reminds me of when I added a Corsa Extreme Exhaust and their Double Helix X-pipe to the Corvette.

Everything went smooth, took a while but its because the shop owner treats my car like if it was his own. Very detail oriented guy!

Dinan Dual Core, Dinan Carbon Intake and Dinan Sport Tuner all got installed.

The FMIC has some really detailed instructions and everything fit perfectly.

Thanks!

It is bigger. The M2 is the same width of an M4 but its 8" shorter so the car is smaller then them but still bigger than the 1 series. When side by side it looks massive!
