U should do more videos like this! Just driving around, its beautiful where u lived 👍🏻

Yeah Oregon can be nice. I will be doing a lot more

That's my baby right there. One day it's gonna be mine! Can't even wrap my mind around that...

[@b58manmeat21]

I’ve had my 340i for about 3 months now, and I don’t think I’d ever really want anything else as a daily. I mean the car is damn near perfect in every aspect.

Awesome sound !!

Awesome !

[@NWAuto]

Thanks!

[@bryanm.3026]

that pull at 1:20 seems pretty healthy!...personally I'd leave it right there, as I barely get the chance to use even the stock 300 hp on a daily basis. Which would you say is the bigger difference....stock to Stage 1, or 1 to 2?

[@NWAuto]

Yeah stage 2 is running very smooth so far, even though I'm on stock spark plugs. And I know what you mean by not being able to use it daily. I basically only get to floor it when entering the highway or when I'm on some backroads. Too many cops around where I live. Stage 1 gives me a 25% increase in HP over stock. Stage 2 gives me a 31% increase in HP over stock. So going from stock to stage 1 is a much bigger difference. But Stage 2 still adds a lot of mid range torque.

[@NoahBeez]

Skyline - thought I recognized that road… cause it’s my commute home. 😂 Do you still have the car?

[@NWAuto]

I sold it almost 3 years ago and switched to a 340i. And then I sold that too

[@killerkennels9002]

Your car is bad ass sounds sick a have a 135i

[@NWAuto]

Thanks. The 135i is also a beast. My N54 friends are always calling my car slow.

[@Tucsonshoots]

Dope video. Might do a similar setup to my f30 335i haha

[@NWAuto]

Exhaust and tune is such a nice setup on this car. Completely changes the driving experience compared to stock.

[@Tucsonshoots]

@@NWAuto was thinking of doing a active autowerkes axle back exhaust, intercooler, chargepipe, aem intake, and bm3 stage 2 tune.

[@NWAuto]

@@Tucsonshoots Yeah just add a downpipe too and you're good to run stage 2.

[@Tucsonshoots]

@@NWAuto will do thank you! Any specific brand you recommend?

[@NWAuto]

I did VRSF. It's cheaper than the other brands and I haven't had any fitment or quality issues with it. Evolution Racewerks is also good, but not as cheap.

[@superkack2000]

Wow you live were i do. Im looking to do some work to a bone stock f30 sport xdrive. Looking forward to more vids!

[@NWAuto]

Nice. What are you planning on doing to it?

[@superkack2000]

@@NWAuto well at first the known issues, turner hot and cold charge pipe, filter and intake. Colder plugs and higher quailty oil. Then ill start buying parts, intercooler, high flow cat, high presure fuel pump, a quality tune and a trip to a 4 wheel dyno. I think it should be fun after that.

[@NWAuto]

@@superkack2000 Yeah thats basically what I did on my 335, besides upgrading the fuel pump. What area are you in?

[@superkack2000]

Im in scappoose but work over in hillsboro at ronler.

[@raulmartinez3484]

Really nice video! For daily driving, would you recommend using Stage 2?

[@NWAuto]

This is the only car I own. If your car has no issues then yeah I definitely recommend it. The extra power you get is really fun.

[@raulmartinez3484]

@@NWAuto Great thank you!

Nice. What are those wheels?

Style 763m replicas. I got them on Ebay.

[@H0rseMac]

Did you have chargepipe upgraded when you were on stage 1?

[@NWAuto]

I did. Its a good idea to install an aluminum one since they can break even with stock power

[@Lil_romo_vrt]

Also do a lsd would help alot

[@NWAuto]

Oh yeah. I would love to have an LSD on this. They aren't cheap though.

[@mattp9733]

i have a msport so we get the performance LSD makes a big difference

​@@justinwallace3848 Yeah I wish I had gotten a 340i instead. But a well optioned one was selling for 40k+ back when I bought mine.

[@careditzczech]

Hello which year of car is that? :)

[@NWAuto]

2015

[@oskarchristensen9800]

The sound it makes when shifting, did that come from the tune or do they make that brrt sound stock?

[@NWAuto]

That’s stock. The down pipe just made it louder.

[@sergeantscumbag2116]

my bone stock 335i does it in sport plus

[@NWAuto]

​@crusciano20 I'm not a tuner or a mechanic, so I can't say for sure. But I've tuned to stock and driven around with just the bolton parts when I took my car to the dealer. It drove fine, and the dealer also didn't say anything about it. If you are planning on tuning it anyway then I doubt it would be a big deal.

[@TheJacobPerry]

Is stock just as fun, if you don’t have enough money for stage 2?

[@NWAuto]

Only when you first get the car. But you get used to the power pretty fast. The good thing is that even just a basic stage 1 tune will make a big difference, and you don’t need to spend too much for that.

[@TheJacobPerry]

@@NWAuto thank you!!

[@contentmaker7777]

@@NWAuto wdym on bm3 u can have stage1 for free

[@YourOldFriendJames]

She’s the HP and TQ gauges readout the right numbers now with the tune?

[@NWAuto]

I think its mostly accurate. They probably get that readout based on RPM and gear. Maybe boost, but I'm not sure. The tune did increase the limits on the sport display.

[@supremexshala1309]

how did you get all that turbo noise?

[@NWAuto]

BMS intake. I highly recommend it.

[@chrisbouhabib4079]

Does the stage 2 causes any problems to the engine ? Like decrease the engine life?

[@NWAuto]

Has not given me any issues so far. The N55 engine is pretty solid. But anytime you increase power, it will wear out certain components faster. You just have to accept that before you tune the car. I don't expect the tune to cause any major issues as long as I do my maintenance, warm it up properly, and don't beat the shit out of it too much when driving. I plan on data logging regularly to make sure everything is functioning the way it should.

[@lilxflaco1092]

Any troubles reliability wise?

[@NWAuto]

I don't have the car anymore. But last I talked to the new owner, no issues at all

[@jonasbaine3538]

Still stg2 a year later? Any issues? How many miles ?

[@NWAuto]

I sold the car to my friend a year ago at 62k miles. I think it's at 72k now. He's been running stage 2 the entire time he's owned it and hasn't had any issues yet. I was always on top of my maintenance and never drove the car hard if it wasn't warmed up. My guess is he will have to do the oil pan gasket and maybe high pressure fuel pump at some point since those tend to go bad as you get close to 100k miles. But neither of those jobs are crazy expensive

[@jonasbaine3538]

@@NWAuto thanks for responding. How much did the mods from stock to stg2 cost? Considering trading mustang 5.0 for 335xi sedan. No mustang sedan, don’t like chargers

[@NWAuto]

@@jonasbaine3538 downpipe was 450, Bootmod3 license with map back was like 640, charge pipe was around 250, and intercooler was around 300. You can also add an intake and exhaust, but those aren't required

@@NWAuto Thanks

[@sammysays1570]

Can you pass emissions

[@NWAuto]

I have heard of people passing emissions with a high flow catted DP. But I did my emissions test right before installing it so I'm not sure.

[@demachina9145]

Hey, do you notice drone around 2800 rpm? I have same exhaust and find it annoying.

[@NWAuto]

Yeah I do too, especially when the engine hasn't warmed up yet. But it wasn't really that bad for me until I added a downpipe. Now it drones pretty hard at that RPM. I might put my stock midpipe back on.

[@alexmolina6289]

hey curious what does your sports display meter hp one max out at?

[@NWAuto]

I think it was like 520 or something like that. Way higher than what the car actually makes. It does not reach 520

[@jaimianscharr6320]

So I have a stock 2018 320i and I've been wanting to try stage 1, could I go straight to stage 1 or is there something you'd recommend me get first, I am new to the car scene so I'd appreciate the help.

[@NWAuto]

I'd start by making sure you've done all your maintenance, and that the car doesn't throw any error codes. After that get an aluminum charge pipe installed. I got mine from VRSF. You are good to go stage 1 after the charge pipe upgrade. Optional modifications are cold air intake and intercooler upgrade. I learned a lot from reading posts on F30 Bimmerpost and watching videos on different mods.
