Aftermarket Exhaust advice

So I currently have a 2024 M340i RWD. I don’t have the MPE but was wanting to get the car louder/really hear the beauty of the engine. I do plan on getting a catted DP down the line but for my exhaust mod I was debating between couple of options.

One was to go buy MPE as I’ve heard great things but primarily it’s from the 2020 M340i owners.

The other options were either Dinan or AWE if so anyone have advice which is better between the two?

If there’s other brands or pipes to look into feel free to suggest down below!

M4 spec

I’m looking at this spec - technically used but with only 280 miles. Anything missing that I’ll regret not having?

Am i making a mistake

Evening all,

I recently bought a 2026 BMW 330i xDrive and have buyers remorse. I should’ve pulled trig on a BMW M3 Competition xDrive instead.

BMW FS told me i can turn in my lease and get the M3 without paying anything out of pocket for my 330i.

My question for y’all is will I regret this? Financially i will be stretched but just have to cut back on some other spending to make it work.

Thanks all for your support and guidance as i make this huge leap into my DREAM car

N20 Timing Chain Guide

Hey guys, just bought this N20 engine off eBay. Confirmed 78k miles on it. I’m wondering if I should change things timing chain and guides, but the guides look pretty light for being the original problematic guides. Wondering what you guys think? The engine is from a 2013 Z4 so I know it was manufactured within that faulty time frame, but some owners get their maintenance done like they’re supposed to.

BMW 1 series 2017

Hi! I’m a F(22) and I’m looking to upgrade my car. Currently I drive a 2011 Toyota Yaris 2011 for the past 3/4 years.

I’m currently looking at Audi A1s and mostly BMW 1series 2017. I viewed some of the BMWs recently and really loved the feel of it but I haven’t test drove one. I know BMW can be expensive to fix but I’m okay with that just want some input on someone who has one and if they have any experience of issues that pop up with them? Also is it gonna feel very big to drive even though it’s still a hatchback? I would test drive one before I bought it but just more if there’s any female input aswell. I’m kinda looking at 2016/2017 is there a massive difference between the years? Is there anything specific I should be looking at before buying one? Is it better to go for the Audi A1 size wise? A lot of the ones I’m looking at are 50,000-80,000km and are Jap imports does anyone have experience with that?

Sorry for all the questions just really curious how people feel who have bought one!

Thanks so much

Update: Someone stole my LTW motorsports badges…so I made a set thats harder to steal/more secure.

Some might remember some jagov stole my oem LTW BMW Motorsport International side badges. I couldn’t find a set anywhere since they’re no longer made. I found some on Etsy but the quality and fitment was pretty bad and just looked cheap so I decided to make my own using carbon fiber sheet.

The first prototype came out pretty good for being handmade. I designed the mounted CF bracket portion to slide into the trim from behind and lock into it in two places on each end, one being underneath one of the trim clips which holds it tightly in place. It also gives a carbon fiber outline of the badge and sets it in a bit compared with the oe part. Might play around with different color carbon fiber sheet also.

I went with the M Technic badges for this one and will make another set with the motorsports style. I think I figured out how to put both badges on a single mount bracket so you can flip it over to show either style so 2 for 1 basically.

I realize theyre also stealable but theyd either have to figure out how to get everything apart or take the whole side trim which would be less subtle. The oem ones just pop right off in 2 seconds.

While I was already working on it I also made the LTW dash board trim bezel since I couldnt find oem anywhere and other options were stupid expensive. But think it came out okay. Its real carbon fiber which is cool. Will have to get better with alignment if I make more.

What do you guys think

Heres the original post I made following the theft of the original badges.

M760i - should I?

Am I crazy for seriously considering buying an M760i? Had BMWs for many years, always dreamed of an M badge car, kids put it on hold for a bit, honestly only recently learned about this model and now I’m obsessed. I’ve found one that I’m seriously considering buying. For my price range I feel like I’m getting the biggest bang for my buck. It’s got the space I’d want in a sedan, comfort, luxury, and power. I mean the last BMW V12 - what a statement this car makes just seeing it on the road, right?! My concern is am I walking into a money pit? Anyone here own one and can share experiences or tips? I’ve seen other posts about expensive maintenance but also good reliability. Am I really trading “more expensive maintenance” if I’m looking at used cars of similar caliber (M5, XB7, S class)? Is this a long term car? This would become my daily driver - I live in Northern CO, 40 mi/day during the week mostly state highways with little traffic, and this would be financed not outright buy. I make a good salary but not “don’t bat an eye at any expenses” kind of money. I’d def see about extending the warranty and getting a PPI, but anything else I should be aware of / look for? Both in purchasing or regular upkeep? Please share your wisdom, my good men and women!

I’m finding all kind of excuses to take the car out 😂

70 miles in…can’t wait to break it in and start driving it in roads. The handling is crazy on this car.
