Looks great! How stiff is this ride compared to stock suspension ?

How does doing all of these modifications affect trading in a car? Voids warranties?

Disclosure… I seem to trade cars every 8-24 months… I know that’s probably abnormal as most probably mod out these stunners and keep them for years.

Thanks for humoring me if you so choose.

Thanks for the kind words sir. It was a long time in the making. Had most of the parts mapped out years before I actually got the car. Lol

As for the warranty, none of the mods I've done affects it except for the piggy back racechip that can potentially affect the drivetrain warranty. Hasn't happened to me as I unplug the chip every single time I go for service. Not sure if it's a bullet proof method as I've heard that the ECU records everything on the car, which includes the manipulation of increased boosts. However, none of the service guys at BMW has said anything. 🤷&zwj;♂️

Not a fan of black exteriors and more so black interiors but that aside... WOW. Enjoy the drive in that all black beauty. 👍

Still very much enjoyable with better handling. I was initially worried about the ride but once I had everything dialed in, it was perfect. It's my daily so needed it to still be a comfortable ride.

That’s one head turner and neck beaker 😍

I have the same stereo and amp upgrade but audison speakers and underseat subs instead of the match. Active 10" JL TW1 400w box facing the back of the car. Constantly playing with dsp as I haven't been able to get it professionally tuned. Extremely capable amp.
I have the dinan has and RaceChip so very similar mod path

Any sound files you can share? Do you have any issues with the engine sound through speakers? I have active sound coded out and it still does it

. Takes away some of the power capabilities because you can only use so much gain Get build, congrats

Sweet setup! I don’t have the JLs in yet but with the current setup, I do not notice any issues with the engine sound. But let’s see how it goes when that’s added in.

Thanks! Are you referring to exhaust tip? I get the car cleaned pretty regularly. Weekly washes. My detailer is pretty meticulous.

I wash it once every other week and usually do a good job keeping it clean. The tips on mine are stained on all four edges with a weird circular residue...
