CNT Race exhaust, which is the cheapest exhaust you can get for the car. Was supposed to be a temp replacement, but It's become my favorite exhaust and I highly recommend it.

But what really made up my mind was this... I knew the person who did the programming and generic, " mod dependent" tuning was extremely knowledgable about the s65, and the electrical systems of the car... I was a mechanic professionally since 16 and I ALWAYS avoided German cars bc of myexperience and the consensus amongst most mechanics that they are plagued with electrical problems... I placed the order feeling all warm and fuzzing knowing if I had a major issue resulting from anything regarding the tune, (OR EVEN SOMETHING UNRELATED) I had a partner to help me get to the bottom of things.... Mike Benvo's reputation and knowledge and ability NOT just to tune BMWs but to retrofit and code, shows he has a thorough knowledge of the ins/out of the electrical systems on the car and that Is why the decision to go with a BPM Sport tune...

Thanks, man! I found a deal I couldn't pass up. Only two mods were the Brembos and and Eisenmann exhaust
I'm totally down to chill with some other Ms in the area. My buddy Adam has the only other M(6) in our of our circle of friends, so it'd definitely be cool to roll through to some events in a crew! PS...it's Jerez |

I'm a bit biased though. Nice come up on the Brembos, can't go wrong there. OP: Glad you're enjoying the tune and thanks for your business. If you need anything, let me know!

+1 on the Brembos... And OP? Common man, after all those convos, we're basically fam at this point LMAO... And there ARE two things I need: 1. That email of you know what. 2. An Address to send the finished product of my hobby... Call, Text, or Email and lmk whats up.... PS. Love the way the rev limit is SLIGHTLY lower 1st and 2nd so with the momentum on the engine my parameter recorder shows the engine stops almost EXACTLY at the desired RPM... Even the stock setup allows the engine to "over-rev" 200-300 rpms in 1st and sometimes 2nd gear at 8600 rpms+ (because of the momentum i suppose)

Sent you a text. PS - How is that new transmission treating you? I'm going to purchase one for mine in the next year or so - after 6 years of failed attempts getting BMW to cover it. I'm jealous!

Installed Smoked LED Side Signals...
Installed the dark tint LEDS (Amber) turn signals into my carbon fiber side gills...Kind of mixed on how I feel about them...
Because I try to keep everything uniform, IF I keep these I might have to modify the tail lights & Head lights...Was thinking oneEighty headlights (Carbon Fiber housings, light tinted lens, grey/silver striped turn signal, and monochrome ///M Logo's on the Xenon housing... As for the tails, no clue. Not tinting them, the Euro LCI's would match the "limerock orange" accents I planned on eventually doing...

To anyone that happens to see this exchange and wonder why I am less than polite to this user... This user was asked kindly not to post on the threads I start anymore because:
In a previous exchange "Capt Sun Sweet" decided to tell me how he knew the circumstances surrounding my little brothers death in a car accident a little over year ago...How he knew more about it than the officer that showed up at the scene? Idk...So yea, not much credit to his golden advice or critique...

Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel Trim Installed...
Install actually was kind of a PITA. But pleased with the result. Plan on eventually replacing all the OEM C/F Trim with glossy 1x1 eventually...
A few pictures...

Now that I have your attention, got in a tiny fender bender last night.
Does anyone have a bumper for sale in NYC/ Long Island area? Don't care what color, looking for OEM, Euro OEM, but open to whatever you have. If it's mint and Jet black, even better... Please text me if you do 631-617-0991 Thank you...

Found some pictures of my first car...
The year was 2001...
At 14 I started saving, worked 3 jobs after school and started building a grey automatic transmission 1991 4dr Honda Accord EX...When I got my CDJ ,"Juniors License" in 2001 I had already transformed the Accord into one of the ugliest cars EVER. (If not the ugliest)... Countless hours have been spent contemplating how I thought this car was cool, even then...But...To put things in perspective... This was a year or so after Fast & Furious came out and having a souped up Honda was cool (at least to a 15 year old). Not saying there is justification for this debautchery, just sayin'. I decided to paint the car and I thought my color choice was the only tasteful thing about the car looking back....Decided on "Laguna Seca Blue" after seeing a LSB e46 M3 Vert parked @ Englishtown raceway on a BOCES school field trip to the NHRA finals...I'll let the pictures do the talking but as you can see I did just about every mod you could do to a car from shaving all door handles to Z3 fenders, 5 or 6 custom gauges.... Also hydro-locked (Drove through a deep puddle with an AEM Cold air intake) the stock F22a engine and installed a 210+HP JDM H22a Engine and Manual transmission. Converted the car to manual from automatic and did everything on the fly in my garage with NO experience in mechanic work aside from taking Auto Tech classes my junior year of high school...(Notice the R, P, N, N, D, D2, D1 on the gauge cluster... The car was actually the fastest Honda Around doing low to mid 15 sec 1/4 mile times LOL. Just FYI, I photoshopped the OZ Racing wheels on because I had them in 18" until they got stolen in the middle of the night and the car was left on bricks. The only pictures I found, the car had black 15" "steelies" on it... Behold, LMFAO...
