Good Morning, I thought I saw you did the front end mesh protectors at one point for the G87, but I cannot find the information. Do you have a recommendation for protection for the cooling system at the front end of the G87? I have started tracking my M2, and I am getting concerned with damage to the cooling system.

Thank you!

Hey, I saw your post on the Alpha One Amp thread. I have a 2024 M240i with the HiFi sound system. I've been wanting to upgrade either the amp, or the speakers, or both. I'm thinking though I'd get the most bang by doing the amp first. It seems like people are saying the Alpha One amp is plug-n-play with the H&K system but what about the HiFi system? Any gotchas or things I'm not considering?

hey man, just wanted to thank you for all the content you put out. really helping me learn the ins and outs of my m2c!

OEM M plugs for the s55 m2, do they come pre gapped or need to be gapped and to what
Is anti-seize needed?

Been trying to find out info about doing OEM plugs but no one seems to know anything....

Hello, your 435i is up for sale down in Everett and I was hoping you could help me put some pieces together. Did you end up trading it in, or did you sell it? The strut tower braces are gone, along with the oil t-stat. Did you pull this stuff before letting it go? If so, what else did you put back to stock? I'm primarily interested in the charge/inlet/down pipes, HPFP & tune. The dealer took it in on a trade a year ago and has kept it for himself until recently buying an M4. He knows it has a bunch of work done, but doesn't know if it has a tune currently and seems generally unaware of the car's history. I'd appreciate any info you'd be willing to share, thanks!

Hi I just installed the AVINUSA 10.25 android 11 screen but can't seem to get the backup camera to work properly. Camera would only come on for a few seconds and then starting/no signal. Is it not getting enough power to the camera?

Hey how's it going? I have a 2016 340i with the small 6.5 inch screen. Will this work with my car? Also which optionsshould I select? Thank you!

Hello Stefan,

Thank you for your great contributions! Your vids/expertise show me the big picture and how the leg bone is connected to the thigh bone.

May I ask...?
From your "garage page," I see you have the BimmerTech One (BT) speakers installed. BUT, you've opted to install the Alpine MRV-500 amplifier (recently?).

I thought I saw an earlier thread of yours where you were leaning towards the BT amp.

Why this Alpine? I'd like to upgrade my stock amplifier (my 2014 335i has the stock hifi system).

May I ask … is it this one?:
Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier (1-channel version).

Is this plug and play like the BT amp?

Thanks so much for the wisdom...

Stay healthy and see you on the roads.

Hey. I own a 2016 340i xDrive and am seriously considering getting the Acitve Autowerke flash tune and exhaust for it. I saw your video on the exhaust and it sounded great. But I wanted to get your take on their flash tune. I know our cars have separate engines but aside from that, can you give me your opinion on the power and drivability of your car after the flash tune was done? How was your mileage impacted by the extra power?
