Dude, this car is coming along with perfection.

If you think this car sounds good with just DP and MPerf box...wait till you do the Mid-pipe...its going to be even more insane!

Karsh's 340i was hell loud on WOT but the sound was almost - if I dare say Perfect! XFlow did the exhaust on it and it was crackers....one of my favourite sounding cars ever this!

Really nice car u have there. Did u go straight stage 2 with xhp or did u have stage 1?
I too have a 340i. Was thinking stage 1 mhd
Thanks bud. You need a downpipe fitted to load stage 2 mhd. I went straight to stage 3 XHP and you always have the option of changing to stage 1/2 at no cost if you feel it is too aggressive.

Thanks a lot bro. I thought about the midpipe but I'm just worried that there might be drone...

The right sized mid-pipe doesn't cause drone and it needs mandrel bends to avoid that too, reputable installer and builder would work well. Check with Xcede in Cape Town and I am sure you can also get to hear one with mid-pipe fitted before doing it. Ask @KarshS if he has any vids of his...ir any drone rather

A few more pics from last week. You will also notice that I had the OLED CS style taillights fitted recently.

16k kms covered with this car as a daily driver and it has not skipped a beat. Also did the regular oil service this month.

Had some updates done on the interior:

- Alcantara steering wheel cover
- G80 style carbon fibre replacement paddle shifters
- DIY interior ambient lights and footwell lights

And so the car is officially out of its 5 year warranty and I decided not to extend it with BMW.

That means I was finally able to fit some hardware I bought from fellow Fanatics: FTP chargepipe, intake pipe, drop in BMC filter and the TU hpfp. I did some diy and decided to add some color to the engine bay by spraying the chargepipe and intake pipes. Pics attached.

In addition, I ordered a new Rogue Performance downpipe. It sounds amazing with just the dp and m performance exhaust!

Off course I had to do software afterwards, and after giving it some thought I went with the MHD route and loaded the stage 2 file. I have also done the XHP stage 3 tcu flash.

All of this was done with the new MHD universal wi-fi adapter. It is a great tool thats lightning fast and so convenient.

I can definitely feel a significant bump in power and its going to keep me happy for a while. Later on I would like to do a custom tune and try some ethanol blends.

Car looks amazing bud!
Where did you pickup the FTP pipes from? Is there a dealer in SA?

I'm seriously thinking about making the car lower. Any guys can share their experiences and recommendations on springs to go with. Take into account the 437m wheels (and the front lip )
