Hey guys! Just wanted to let u guys know what I did this awesome weekend. On Saturday I met up with another forum member and we did a swap of my stock setup with his. I was originally only going to get his macht schnell test pipes but the body shop ended up giving me his Fabspeed X pipe too so instead of switching back, he let me purchase his X pipe as well. All I can say is WOW! The car just screams now but it's not as obnoxious as other setups. The growl around 3000 RPM range is just intoxicating. I always thought the stock setup was loud but clearly I was mistaken. I wasn't sure if I wanted the X pipe but it ended up being a blessing in disguise.
Few days later I got the SES sign come up and knew it was time to give Mike Benvo a call. I already had the stage 1 tune from him and he had offered me the new dev tune last week. I sent him a text and within an hour, I had the tune done and ready to go. Typical BPM service, fast, simple, and pain-free. Before I thought the car was amazing, now it's just a monster. The tune has made a huge difference and the cars responsiveness is instant now. Combined with the free servotronic, this is how a true M car should be and it is! I also noticed a change in the sound as well. It doesn't seem as 'uncivilized' and while it's still plenty loud, it sounds just smoother and my neighbor had no complaints! Also the drone in cold starts are also gone which was much needed since I live in a residential area. Anyway, that's all for now. If anyone is on the fence about which tune to get, BPM is the way to go. You deal straight with the guy that made the tune so he has the answers for everything and actually cares about your car. My car had some issues before and he ended up recommending me not getting a few things I wanted just to be safe. He's not going to try to sell you everything and will work with you. If you don't believe me, do a search on the forum and majority of the reviews are for BPM. Alright everyone, be safe and thanks for reading!
