Having issues with stoneguard with bubbles and lifting, not a good job done by installer... taking it back for them to do it properly!

It is almost invisible, but believe that can look yellow after a few years on white cars, but has lifetime warranty on 3M VentureShield, so you should be ok.

Need you to perhaps do some coding as you did with Joe's 1M

sparoz · 03-03-2012, 11:32 PM

M button, and MDM on default?

RaihaX · 03-03-2012, 11:59 PM

What else is on the Horizon Ian ?

BMW86 · 03-04-2012, 12:15 AM

Looks good Ian

Honny · 03-04-2012, 12:26 AM

Congrats Ian!

Zuzu · 03-04-2012, 12:33 AM

Congrats ian. Looking good and sounding LOUD.

Coding for the folding mirrors is a must. Thanks Clinton.

Smiley1175 · 03-04-2012, 01:10 AM

Beautiful car Ian, congratulations.

RoadRunner///M · 03-04-2012, 01:53 AM

Thanks guys! ... sure is LOUD with MadDads.... nice and deep roar on acceleration and overrun burble. Just the sound I wanted

Joe you were right.... the muffler isn't the issue, it s the mids

RoadRunner///M · 03-04-2012, 01:58 AM

MadDad mid pipes... highly recommend!!

Sherweeeny · 03-04-2012, 04:48 AM

Looks great mate, looked even better in real this arvo on military. Sure turned my head

Steelo · 03-04-2012, 06:55 AM

Could you do a video of the sound with the Maddads?

Sure, but not sure it captures their true sound and I'd need a cameraman. They are LOUD! I think that the N55's are a more conservative option, but I like these MadDad's a lot, my neighbors do not

!

Steelo · 03-04-2012, 07:23 AM

Hey did I understand you correctly on Sat morn - you can put oem N55 mid pipes on my N54 135i vert and get a deep increase in sound and a slight increase in power ?
Btw to return the favour from when you helped with the Lux, i have vid equipment and can do video for you when you want to share your 1M mods.

Yes, Joe put his 1M on the dyno on Saturday with N55 mids and made significant power gains. I would suggest N55 pipes on your vert, as the MadDad's may be too loud with the top down. Also, N55's mids are cheaper and can be bought from BMW AU.

Thanks, keen to take you up on the video

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 03-04-2012, 08:06 AM

Looking good!

PS Great photo

jaffa12 · 03-04-2012, 08:14 AM

Nice Ian and congrats

alik01 · 03-04-2012, 08:17 AM

Looks great Ianf. Curious to hear the exhaust. Really tempted by Zuzu's or this.

luster · 03-04-2012, 12:23 PM

Is there any difference in core'ing teh cats on the n54 mids -vs- installing n55 mids?

ianf, more than happy to code your car mate. Really sorry I got caught up and got to advan a little late on Sat, was really looking forward to seeing your car and put a face to a screen name!

It happens sometimes mate. I went with a stupidly expensive mob for 3m tinting and took it back, every window was hopeless.

now it looks flawless.

protecting the 1 series seems to be a must, when I was buying, almost all had damage to the bonnet. mine may be too bad to even bother now

The N54 pipes have some bad bends in them, rather get N55/aftermarket pipes. The advantage of MadDad's are they are a slightly larger diameter than the N55's

Cool, when you back from Melbourne? I will PM you a list of coding requests
