It's Stage 2 Package time for our Japan Red E92 M3 - Faster and Louder! - Primary Cat Delete + Tune

[@chiganuggoo9929]

I've had the Evolve Stage 2 map on my E92 M3 since late 2020, the GTS DCT Flash and servotronic tweak. I bought the Eventuri Plenum and airbox lid to add to the intake I already bought (I was one of the first). I was already running an Akrapovic Evolution full titanium exhaust on the car and although never 100% blown away by the sound of the Akra, I'm actually glad I kept i on instead of looking for noisier options, because in low crawling and cruising speeds I get the deep bass sound of the Akra, but when I open up, the Eventuri Plenum noise takes over. It really is such a transformation of the car having a stage 2 and deleting the primary cats. I'd highly recommend it to every owner. Drive one thats been done and see how sluggish it makes your stock car seem.

[@tfunkhou88]

Japan red looks sick. Nice mods and spot on tuning. The plenum sounds mad, it will be interesting to see how it sounds with an intake upgrade.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Sound with the intake is very similar as the Plenum is making so much noise, but we should gain some more power and a sharper throttle response!

I wish the aftermarket had other front lower carbon options instead of the horrendous ‘fangs’ which seem to be on all of them. I do not like the crazy and out there GTS spoiler either. Something nice, minimal, and goes from one end of the front bumper to the other.

[@Assimilator1]

Sounds a beast! 😁 I especially love the intake noise! I think the exhaust is a tad too loud after the primary cat removals, and probably wouldn't pass any track static sound tests though! lol.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

As with anything, the delta is more important than the final figure, and dragy data (coming from a trusted source) is the verification of real world performance.

[@soopermarkus]

I have a very similar looking leak going on with my DCT after 10k miles since the last complete DCT service. I’d love to see a video on how you resolve your leak.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I assume the DCT pan was changed when the service was done? Only alternative we know is a billet pan that shouldn’t leak.

[@soopermarkus]

@@EvolveAutomotive yeah I checked the orings at the transmission thermostat and found that one of the supply lines from the top of the transmission to the thermostat is weeping. The orings from the thermostat to and from the cooler are perfectly intact without leaks. As is the side pan and mechatronics oring. Bottom pan appears to be ok and all the fasteners are snug. I suspect the fluid from thermostat oring is getting blown across the pan to make it look worse.

[@soopermarkus]

To clarify. The supply line isn’t weeping, the junction at the thermostat is seeping fluid.

[@nycshelbygt500]

Very common source of DCT Leaks. That O-ring shrinks over time. It looks like a mechatronics or pan leak, but it is coming from the top of the DCT and that O-ring. The new O-ring is much thicker. I think it is an expensive repair, since you might need to drop the DCT. Fix any driveshaft clunk at the same time (guibo and center bearing).

[@J.P745]

hey ive been watching you from Canada for a while now. Currently own a frozen blue edition 2013 e92. My coils starting to fail would love to see you guys come up with those in the future

[@EvolveAutomotive]

By coils you mean coil packs? If so just use stock.

[@nycshelbygt500]

There are OEM and less expensive OE coil packs for the S65 V8. If you have the tools it isn't too bad. It is very difficult to get to the rear coils on both sides. Check YT videos. Coils are super tight to remove...don't use a coat hanger. You have to remove the plastic covers above the cylinder heads. Be gentle, since the plastic gets brittle due to heat and might crack. You have to remove the cabin air filter covers and another piece near the firewall to get to the back coils. If you replace the coils also do the spark plugs (every 35k miles). NGK OE Spark Plugs. You might as well also return the cabin air filters by Corteco OE and BMW or BMC air filter...since the air box has to be removed. Might as well install the Eventuri carbon fiber air intake and air box lid, plus the new CF ducts. BMW increased the prices of the coils in the last few years x8. New coils help with a smooth idle...but the defective Idle Control Valve and Fuel Tank Breather Valve are the real culprit.

Our audience and customer base is actually more American and has been for many years so have to cater to both.

[@AutoBeta2T]

I'm in agreement - excellent, methodical testing with the same Dyno used for repeatability. But as Feoffle said I'm not keen on the American terminology either. While I fully get the requirements to be understood by the target audience but maybe using the British terminology followed by the American translation. Before long we will all be using American car nomanclature and British nomanclature will be lost. It's bad enough Word constantly correcting my correctly spelt word because I've used an 's' instead of a effing 'Zee' 😭 and my kids keep using American terms...

Does your tune change throttle mapping in all modes? I always have it in sport. Normal is too "soft" but sport + is too "twitchy". Curious on how your tune works with the sport button and is there an option to not have the throttle map changed?

Changes it in all modes yes. We can easily not change any feature that a customer doesn’t want.
