Where's the SoCal Spotted thread?

As for the DP...that is also something I have been on the fence about...a ton of people say it makes the cabin smell like gasoline when you are stopped...so that kind of makes me weary since I am always in traffic. Not to mention having to take it off every single time I want to take the car to BMW.

I am ordering procede this friday and I might just go the cosmetic route after that.

I haven't heard anything about the smell but I hope it isn't true or it may be a problem.

But once I get it installed I would be more than happy to give you a ride in it to see if you want the DP / full exhaust.

I am actually going up to HP Autowerks tomorrow to get it done.


BTW is anyone on here the Black 135i convertible with black stock rims at CSUN? Just saw it today in the parking garage. I would have parked next to you but you parked a bit far up and I like to park closer to the exit to get out faster lol.

Yea definitely that sounds great, and you can check out the BMW performance suspension that I have on my car at the same time. I have a pretty big bonus coming in on friday so I am trying to decide on what I want to pick up. I definitely know I want to put on procede. If the exhaust sounds good I will probably pick that up with the vishnu DP at the same time.

I am definitely in need of new rims and tires as well.

Yeah I was originally going to get DP + JB but after doing tons of research I decided I want to wait until more tune options come out such as Cobb since right now your basically helping all the companies beta test there stuff since they haven't cracked everything about the engine. Which I am not a fan of.

So I plan to just get the DP + Full Exhaust tomorrow. Then I might pick up some new rims as well, maybe HP Autowerks will have something in there shop tomorrow that I like and at a good price. I really want a front lip or front splitters as well since I feel like the front of the car isn't aggressive enough for my tastes.

I was just thinking about this the other day...and both procede and JB3 have quit a lot of control over the engine. The only thing tuners are having problems with is being able to flash the car through the OBDII, which is almost completely due to BMW's new software. In fact there is a company called euro something or other that somehow flashes your car without using the OBDII....weirdly enough and they make some really strong numbers as well.

So I would probably take another look into procede if I were you. Shiv is still running pretty conservative numbers in terms of boost at the moment.

Well I haven't done an official write up / review yet but I have not encountered any type of gas smell with the 4" DP and Berk Full Street. But I also drive with the windows up all the time since I prefer the AC. I talked to Harold about it and he said you will only get the smell if your in traffic and you have all the windows down.

Well I really want something that can flash through the OBD and hold different tunes such as Cobb's handheld, thats what I am holding out for. Or GIAC since Harold works with them.



Also saw a black 135i on Vanowen and Canoga today at 7:30, was that anyone?

I am ordering procede early next week so when I get it in we should meet up and exchange thoughts on procede and your exhaust set up.

The one thing I really like about procede is that it only takes the flip of the cruise control stalk to switch maps. I really do not plan to be driving in traffic with increased boost so it is nice to know that when I want to go fast I dont have to pull over to the side of the road flash my car and then go. I just have to flip the cruise control stalk.

I really plan to be driving around stock most of the time and then just switch every now and then to mess around.

Also are any of you planning on hitting up super car sunday this week?

I personally don't like having tunes stored in the ECU due to detection purposes and etc. I would much prefer having the tunes stored on the hand held unit then it would flash which tune I want.


I will be at Bimmerfest tomorrow but not planning to go to supercar.

Yea I have a lawyer convention I have to attend tomorrow so I am not able to go unfortunately...I was pretty bitter about that one.

As for procede it does not store tunes in the ECU...the whole device works by intercepting the signals going through the ECU and is actually less detectable than a flash. If you want stock it just lets the signals go right through. If you want tuned it just adjusts the signals. Anyways though I will show you in a weeks time when I pick it up. The tunes are stored on the procede unit no the ECU.

Yeah that sounds like me except on Sunday, I have to go show a bunch of townhouse units in Sherman Oaks since I am in Real Estate.

I actually look forward to getting a ride in your car after the procede. When I visited HP Autowerks, Harold's 7DCT 135i was having its trunk repainted so I wasn't able to get a ride to see how the JB3 was so I haven't been able to truly experience a tuned N55 yet.

But I did not know that about the Procede, I just automatically assumed that it stored the different flash's in the ECU since it didn't seem like Cobb's hand held unit.

Yeah buddy! I saw your car at Bimmerfest as well! Nice CCW's
The Alpine HID is a definite +1

As for the crazy bumps, yeah, I moved all the way to the slow lane once I hit that area. They really gotta fix that part of the freeway since they are closing it down every night from 1am-5am
