I can't emphasize enough how great they are
It fixes that torque gap the car is missing and if you had not known they were there you wouldn't even know what it was. It truly makes the car perfect and it's how it should have come! |

No freaking way!! Glad you found one. I couldn't find a red one that was clean so settled for Silverstone which I have grown to love.
But your old car and mikeM5's are why I wanted a red sedan for years. I firmly believe Melbourne red is the best color on the E9x and I'm still salty BMW didn't give the F8x a red (excluding the Melbourne CS they now have) |

Nice stable! If you could let me know the vin on the current car (and if you have the vin from the first MR car that would be awesome as well) I can get you added to the list!

In the place of the primaries? Stock secondaries? Or test pipes in lieu of primaries and HFCs in place of secondaries? The latter would be like a Challenge Sport, but would throw a code, so guessing the former, but that’s very unusual.... but maybe effective! Any scraping?
