I purchased a set of rebuilt throttle actuators from Abdul@Mpowermotorsports . He is the official North American distributors for Jason of Rebuilt.org.uk. For those that don't know, $720 will you get rebuilt throttle actuators that are upgraded and have lifetime replacement warranty! https://www.mpowermotorsports.org/on...nit-p102632002 Quote:
##Installation The actuators arrived last Thursday and I was able to take some time today to install them. The install was very uneventful and I'm glad it went very smoothly! Overall, removing the intake box was very easy with just different length flat head screwdrivers, torx bits, magnetic pickup and an interior plastic trim removal tool. The install took a little over 1.5 hours as I was very slow and careful in the beginning. ##Instructions via newTIS.info: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...l-unit/Hk4mWh9 ##ISTA D system test I followed BMW TIS instructions and ran a system test on both the actuators while the car was off. The throttle actuators passed with flying colors and the test drive afterward went eventful. I love it when maintenance works out so smoothly.

Unfortunately, I only was able to drive the car to verify the throttle actuators were okay and fill up the car. I hope to have more time next week to do a longer impression. At the current moment, my first impressions are the car is smoother under 4000rpm. It does feel like there is more torque mid range. I have yet to try any real load yet so I'll get back to you soon! I'm thinking of getting a BMW performance trunk spoiler and a lip. After pondering for awhile, I believe the Arkym lip is currently the one I want. Since front lips have such a short lifespan for most on these forums, I want to get a replica Arkym so when the inevitable happens, I won't be crying about it.

I haven't seen the performance trunk on these cars. I did get a high kick carbon spoiler from eBay..and it fit very well. I was happy with the fit and finish. Seems to be made by same people who make the "legit" ones but charge 3x as much.

I just installed them today! I'm not sure I like them yet. I did look at my settings and it looks like the PO actually increased AE brightness already. The first impressions is that they are pretty dim and from the side, they are very similar due to the optic design.
I'll leave it on for awhile to see how it goes.

Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised how clean it was. The aluminum is a bit oxidized but I'm not sure what I can do to clean that up.

# Power Bug Currently, I have been bitten by the power mod bug. I already have an AFE Carbon intake dry filter on the way due to some outrageous pricing from AFE. On the exhaust side of things, I really like my OEM exhaust 4-pipe mod but would like to uncork the exhaust a bit. From what I gathered so far, the stock primary cats are the restrictive portion of the exhaust and that the secondaries can be retained without sacrificing a lot of power. With that in mind, an x-pipe with primaries deleted while retaining secondaries and resonators should increase power levels while keeping odor and sound increases to a minimal. MotorIQ has a great article about utilizing v-band clamps on both the OE primary cats and test pipes to allow for interchangeability for track use and street/emission testing. I really like this idea and it seems fairly cost effective as well! https://motoiq.com/project-e90-m3-pa...xhaust-tips/3/ I also heard that Bomiz is in the works creating an X-pipe with HFC secondaries and resonators. With IND possibly bringing back the Challenge sport X-pipe with the HFC secondaries and resonators, there are 3 options that have HFC secondary cats.
Decisions decisions..

4. Evolve X-pipe with HFC in secondary position.
Thats some clean work done on the exhaust there, who did the work?

Not my pic unfortunately. It is from Kooks Custom Headers in NC. I also have to find a nice tig welder..LOL. My buddy fabricate turbo manifolds for hondas back in the day, wonder if he still does welding work.

Sounds like I'm going test pipes + v bands as soon as I find a welder I can utilize.
