TUNED MY M235i WITH Bootmod3 STAGE 2! IT'S SO FAST!

[@DjNikGnashers]

Had a 200 cell cat and custom tune on my M140i, 455bhp/634nm the B58 engine is a masterpiece. The M135i/M235i isn't far behind, great cars and great engines.

I have a 435 and I would have so say get something with the b58

[@StereoSoundAgent]

Cant wait man, I bought full bolt ons and a high flow Active Autowerke catted downpipe before I bought the car. and the BM3 with all OTS maps. Finally have all the bolt ons on (intake, turbo inlet, boost/charge pipe, intercooler) and still need to install the ignition coils/sparks/ downpipe. Then its time to taste stage 1 and 2. What are you feelings about the OEM diverted valve? Some people insist its a good idea to upgrade to the GFB DV+ but I dont like the sounds of it, and it causes some N55 owner issues

[@SLIDEWAYZ_TY]

N55 is the best sounding i6 bmw made

[@SimplyCarThings]

i agree 100% !

[@RS-yx7ow]

N55 sounds great... B58 is better for higher performances (because close deck engine is stronger)... B58 is more heavy thats true.

[@SimplyCarThings]

@@RS-yx7ow yea the B58 is insane! really showing its power potential, and the integrated water cooled air system is super advantageous

[@RS-yx7ow]

True... i really like the N55... and most of times a new engine doesn't mean improvements... but in this case i think the B58 is a good replacement... Do you have dyna numbers of your car?

[@lmllopez90650]

funny, when I bought my f22 I hated hated hated the exhaust sound/note. My 6.1 liter v8 spoils me in that dept. However, after having gone full bolt-ons, tune, + exhaust mods, this little n55 sounds pretty insane now. .. I suppose I'll keep it LOL
