Good stuff. Was on last night. Likely will be again.

Fmic, intake etc to 335 so far.

Borla exhaust to M3.

Sadly, I don't get that channel... Refuse to pay ~$130+ for TV!.. Anywhere to watch past episodes online?

Of course the N54 spanked the M3. Had to make it look like the M3 won the second match. Classic.

HAHAHA.. I was thinking the same thing. the N54 burned the M3 in round 1. I wish they actually said what the 0-60 was.

I want a Cobb.

Yeah bro the whole thing was pretty ambiguous and vague...

Truth be known, I'm strongly considering getting a Borla now, but I just can't justify getting rid of my Dinan free flow exhaust just yet ha ha

Just saw it too, and the borla actually sounded really nice! not too loud or deep either... has me considering them together with VRSF lol.

Did they mention which borla it was? S-type?

The Borla sounded clean. But I would probably keep Dinan just 'cause its a Dinan.
I am so up in the air on exhausts. I have a feeling I will probably go with the PE so I don't need to deal with CPO warranty BS. Also from what i have heard, I like the PE sound better than the Borla, it was a little too muted for me. I think Cobb will be easy to cover my tracks if needed than a JB4 so I may need to pick up one of those.

I haven't seen much about COBB the forums. I'm wondering where they're at with the N55 these days?

Nice. I've always liked the idea that it was a flash, and you had a great degree of control over the tune with the handheld...

The only downside you can't really sell a flash- from what I understand it's not just a flash.

Then there's the way it "marries" itself to an ECU. I'm not too sure how an after the fact sale would go with a private party.

I've not yet researched the sh!t out of it yet, but I have done a bit of reading. Seems they can be sold or traded into Cobb. (In the case you have an AP2, you can trade in for a discount on AP3). Given this I would think there is a way to wipe it, just like an iPhone etc… in order to resell.
I think if I win my fantasy baseball league I may buy one. I am in first place and have been all season and the payout is about $800. What a coincidence!!

If I buy it, I am keeping the damn thing. I've made up my mind that I am going to keep my 335i for good. I love the car and I feel its one of BMW's finer works. Its not really a DD, more of a secondary DD and under CPO till July '17 so I plan to keep the mods limited to not risk losing coverage. In about 4-6 years I will probably drop 5k-10k into it and do a restoration/reconditioning as well as mod where tastefully called for. Then in 7 years for my 40th bday present to myself I will get an M3. So I will have a like new classic 335 x-drive pushing 400hp and an M3 for my other driver and SUV for big hauls and crap weather.
