Brand new BMW m3

Hey guys i just recently purchased my first M and dct! I got a 2012 competition packaged m3 dct i went from a 2007 335i coupe 6 speed to a 2011 335is six speed manual, and now this!!

Full exhaust adds tons of power and sounds amazing. However, being that you are in LA, you may get pulled over by the cops non-stop.

I don't think these perform that well in the curves, more like 115 or so makes for better handling.

to be honest if you fully bolt on its more worth it to get an entry level supercharger. if you want a little more power a full exhaust and tune should feed your appetite well

ESS VT-600, DCT software, catless or HFC X pipe, stock mufflers!!

Best setup in my opinion will put a big smile on your face

I have one in the trunk too, although I'm pretty sure we "broke up".

Catless or HFC x-pipe, tune and pulley. If you're not satisfied with this, SC is the way to go.
