And

When running catless dp's, What do you do for sceduled service? If you remove piggyback or sims, dealership will see CEL. Do you remove dp's for every service?

tune is a touchy subject; everyone will stand by what they bought/run. i've had the jb3 and the procede, just upgraded to v5 for the procede. it's far superior in my opinion, but the jb4 will have a few new features when it's released to the public.

i have catless downpipes but my dealership is cool, so i leave the procede in the car, on map 0. some dealerships are very strict on mods, so it's a tough call.

do you have a link? there is only one muffler delete from berk. the muffler delete is around $350....unless vivid is overselling theirs, it might be the street axle back for $600, or a website typo.

Thanks in advance.

unless the parts cause a problem, you can't "loose" your warranty. it's an uphill battle with some dealerships, however, so mod at your own risk

then your best bet is just to get a muffler delete. I've tried it and it sounds great, aggresive but not to loud and most important very little drone because you keep the stock midpipes.
Full Berk system with no DP does drone on the N55.....tried it to.

Give me the whole run down on HPFP failure and problems. I've only had my 135 for a few weeks and need to know what to expect...

it's really not that big of a deal to me. i got long cranks, couple of limp modes. checked for codes, had the normal hpfp codes (check the sticky in maint). dealer gives me a 328i to beat up on for a while, car feels faster when i get it back 2 days later. my dealership doesn't care about mods, either, so it's really painless IMHO

Can you explain how meth works?

Methamphetamine is a stimulant chemical commonly used as a recreational drug. It is legally prescribed as a treatment for ADD under the brand name Desoxyn, for both children and adults. On the street, it is generally found as an odorless, white or off-white, bitter-tasting powder, though it is also found in pills, capsules and larger crystals. It is frequently snorted, but is also used orally, smoked, and injected.

Methamphetamine production is a relatively simple process, especially when compared to many other recreational drugs. It is frequently reported on in the media when home meth-producing labs are busted.

you forgot to mention that it is very dangerous to produce and often results in explosions during the the meth making process. This is an effective way to find a meth house, find an explosion.
