Awesome. I ended up ordering the bms intake after your feedback. It's arriving tomorrow. Look forward to install it.

With full screen CarPlay, you have the only real big missing feature in iDrive 6 IMHO. Some other options via coding that I liked were:

1. Customizing the door and mirror locking
2. Moving front seats back when opening the door and other seat functions
3. Customizing the tailgate open/close
4. Customizing camera
5. Turn on B&O surround sound (better if you upgrade the woofers to B&O from HK and upgrade the center to Focal's since the B&O ones can be more complicated)
6. Turning off warnings and the auto start/stop and such,

Non coding stuff like using the favorites or quick launch buttons wisely. Since I use CarPlay extensively, I used the buttons to launch CarPlay apps and also for displays and settings

To me, all this adds a lot to the experience of the car.

Glad you used Bimmer Remote for full screen , I used them too and it was awesome. Such a game changer.

Installed. Lots of induction sound. I like it so far. There's a metal bar on one side of the filter, is it supposed to be the top or bottom? Or it doesn't matter?

I meant the thin sliver bracket in the blue cone.

Ohhh I think I see what you mean, no it doesn't matter if the flathead part is on the top or bottom

Reflectors are in. Had to buy a new 2.5 ton jack and rivet tool from Harbor Freight. Worth the effort!

whoismorggan · 03-24-2022, 07:03 AM

Exhaust setup 2.0: 3" Borla ProXS muffler in the middle with two glass-pack resonators in the rear. This is almost perfect, but there is still a little drone around 1800 - 2000 RPM.

Ordered two Vibrant 1141 2.5" Ultra Quiet resonators yesterday to replace the smaller no-name pipes.

Catless downpipe is scheduled to arrive Saturday also!

whoismorggan · 03-24-2022, 03:41 PM

HPS aluminum charge pipe installed today. Fitment is pretty good, I feel like the rubber coupler could have been a little longer.

The top metal band (coupler to charge pipe) is very close to what I'm assuming is a coolant pipe right below it, not sure if this will cause any noise/vibration but it doesn't seem like it will be a problem.

Bonus: Catless downpipe arrived along with a pair of Vibrant resonators

whoismorggan · 03-24-2022, 07:28 PM

A few revs -

Haha thanks! This was a cold start around 12:00 pm today after the car sat overnight, but I have MHD stage 1 with the cold start deleted.

whoismorggan · 03-24-2022, 08:14 PM

It isn't done yet! Excited to see how the downpipe sounds

Just curious as to why you decided to delete cold start? To me that's when the truck sounds best.

Before I put the Borla on it was too loud, I do agree it sounds great most of the time.

Chargepipe blew a coupler today. User error? Or bad fitment?

We'll see
