The new S58 in the X3M and X4M and comp versions are putting out some really impressive numbers. I thought that was a killer engine until I watched the B58 teardown. A lot of pieces are "integrated" instead of bolted on externally, e.g. intercooler, header and probably requiring some custom fab to modify? Though the S58 has a S55 style intercooler on the side instead of integrated into the value cover. Going to watch that guy to see how he makes the B58 put out 1000HP. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1643013 Last edited by omasou; 08-15-2019 at 01:05 PM.. |

OMG still a M2 vs M2C thread?
M2 is million times better than M2C. Please end this debate now. God, I'm sick of this ...

Previous to the M2C I had a M235i. That had an exhaust on it and I really loved the way it sounded. The M2C also has an exhaust on it but to me, it doesn't sound nearly as good. Weirdly, a lot of friend that heard both cars prefer the M2C exhaust sound, which is kind of baffling to me.

On my old M2 I went through a full Fabspeed setup (downpipe and muffler delete) towards a DINAN setup (resonator delete and free flow muffler) which I loved. Fabspeed setup had drone and some rasp since it lacked a muffler. With DINAN the car had grunt and deep tone, but after 5k RPM it was toned down. To me, Stock vs Stock the M2 sounds better than the M2C, I owned both and had them stock for a while. Stock M2C exhaust has a different tone than the S55 on the M3/M4. My current exhaust setup on the M2C sounds raw after 5K which is where the M2 I felt toned down. Videos never capture the sound completely, have had multiple people in person tell me I figured how to make an S55 sound good. But I am sure my setup is too loud for many people's taste, for me its perfect.

In city centers I mostly drive in the more quiet comfort mode. Everywhere else I drive in sport or sport +. The drone is also a bit less in sport then in comfort on the highway..

I drive in Sport 99% of the time. I have an M Performance exhaust and sound is very similar in all modes.
