COBB Tuning Redline Carbon Fiber Intake. The Spoon Air Cleaner served me well. It's a nice low commitment drop in filter. Moderate increase in induction noise and installs in like 90 seconds.
If you're building a track car and looking for an additional 2-3 mph on the back straight, or to shave 2 seconds off your PB, the WOT intercooler becomes intriguing. But I don't see the value proposition of that intercooler on a lightly modified street car. Even if the thermal capacity is as...
Unfortunately, it does look horrible ;). And it will look even worse once it ages. I just had mine installed a few days ago and had to remove the logo.
I get where you're coming from. I've read posts on this forum over the last 2+ years about the perceived misses of the DE5 and it sounds a little greedy, especially at the price point. I also can't help but think that what people have been describing is a G80 M3, which probably annoys you to...
You really don't know why the CTR has so many track focused screens and the ITS doesn't? It's obvious, or at least it should be. These vehicles are platform siblings but they diverge when it comes to brand philosophy and market positioning. I thought everyone was clear on this back in 2023. If...
I'm satisfied with it and it's what you would expect from this type of OTS map. It's a stop gap until I get the car custom tuned in the coming months. I posted general thoughts about it on the other forum here and here.
I posted this as well which some may find helpful or interesting:
Here is...
This and this. I've been twice and will go again at the end of October with a friend. The BMW Performance Center is a must-attend if you're an automotive enthusiast. It's an incredible opportunity to get behind the wheel of late model M cars on track in a safe and controlled environment. The...
Phearable touts rev hang disabled as one of the many features of their OTS map. Have you engaged them to better understand how they're defining 'rev hang' and what you're experiencing? It's worth a discussion, and perhaps the outcome could be a revision that solves this. I was out with the...
This is a curious observation. I'm on the COBB OTS Stage 1 map (FL5), and the rev hang I experienced on the stock map is either completely gone or largely imperceptible. And what I mean by rev hang is the noticeable delay and jump in revs before RPMs drop when you disengage the clutch during...
You don't need all of that to achieve the desired results. An aftermarket intake will likely get you what you need. If the intake isn't enough for you, reassess and take the next step. Use a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.
