My best sessions were 1:38 with plenty to improve. Took some more photos out at Supercars by the Beach (cars and coffee) and added MMR Shift Paddles. I originally was interested in the Pedal Haus Paddles but these peaked my interest. They're definitely an improvement. I'll keep a lookout for the Pedal Haus ones to compare as I've always been a big fan of their products and will likely get their pedals like I have in my E46 M3. Baseline Dyno - AA Midpipe with Shell 91ACN Fuel in SAE format (Lower than STD, but is preferred format) Some new toys...ECUTEK with tuning by Bend Calibration: Getting the MaxPSI Crank Hub installed at Lang Racing: Some folks have mentioned they don't like to see the muffler hanging below the rear diffuser of the car. Many have used black high temp paint on the muffler. I've gone a different route with same visual result...here is a teaser: Here's the cerakoted muffler from the back side: Without Lightbar: With Lightbar: Here is a video of Racerom Map Switching on Ecutek: Also some revs of non-burble sport+ mode with AA Mid and VRSF DP's: Flex sensor and upgraded Stainless Braided PTFE fuel line installed along with Zeitronix ECA2 Can Bus device which taps into the BMW CAN to send the flex content to the DME for on the fly calculations which is only possible through ECUTEK RaceRom software. I made a huge improvement to the exhaust...added a couple Aero Turbine resonators! Videos don't really do it any justice but it's removed the last bit of rasp that was present and replaced it with a nice snarl and smoother tone. With more miles, the resonators have started breaking in and continue to make it sound better...I might be biased but this is definitely the best S55 twin turbo exhaust note I've ever heard...no more weedwacker rasp. Full setup: VRSF Downpipes, Active Autowerke Midpipe, AeroTurbine TR252 Resonators with OE rear muffler. Took some iPhone driveby videos to try and capture the sound of the exhaust with the resonators: Baby Dragon got to stretch her legs finally...not bad for stock intake. Only mods are exhaust and flex fuel. (May 21, 2020) Got some more goodies in : Most of my suspension parts (Minus Coilovers which are currently waiting for stock to come in from Europe). Well after a bit of wait for Koni to ship their dampers to TCKline (Covid shipping issues), I finally have my front coilovers! TCKline Dual Adjustable fronts and they've been tweaked with love from my suspension guru Dan Law @ DER Motorsports. (E46Forum members probably remember him and he's still doing the same awesome setups; was on the phone with him for hours discussing what my goals were and soon I'll find out how it feels after some miles of dialing it in.) I have the rear D/A setup along with the full line of SPL Parts ready to install and H&R Sways. Likely just putting the Coilovers and Front Sway with endlinks in right now and will do the rest once suspension has settled. Also got this fancy new Injector Dynamics ID750 fuel filter installed with a flex sensor/filter bracket courtesy of Bend Calibration. They are currently the only offering with a high quality fuel filter that exceeds the Bosch required specification for their fuel system components. Hopefully this will avoid potential injector failures or other fuel system problems.

A UK company, when I was searching for a CS style spoiler they came up and I liked it better than the RKP offering. Shuttergang had great communication, the shipping from UK to USA was super fast, the weave was above expectations and they had a nice air freshener in the box too which ended up in my wife's car and she liked it.
