My wife bought me VRSF v2 down pipes for my birthday so I installed those on Tuesday night. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures for everyone to enjoy but I have a crappy cell phone video I will post later on.
The install in total took me about 2 hours and was pretty straight forward. I am extremely happy with the results! The exhaust note is a bit raspier and the power was noticeable immediately! This really pushes me to get on a dyno now and get some solid numbers.

That's a solid present! I will probably have to better than new spatulas and dishtowels if I want car parts lol. Sent from my potato phone
Yea I am pretty lucky! She usually does pretty well during her birthday/christmas/whenever she wants something lol.

As soon as I can get my computer to start talking to my car again I am going to throw the e85 maps on and try a 50/50 mix. Anything I need to know before I do this?
My computer updated to windows 8.1 recently and as soon as that happened the driver for the procede quit working on it. I'm no computer genius but i'm pretty good with google and i'm hoping the google machine has the answer.

I don't know which procede maps are for E85, so all I can say is make sure your mixture is in-line with whatever the map is for. 50/50 is as aggressive as you can go on an N54 without compromising the reliability of the fuel pump and injectors. Most maps run between 30-50% E85 mixes.

Procede has an entirely different set of maps I will have to throw in the car that range from map 0 - base to FBO and PWM methanol injection and 100% e85 with a couple 50/50 in between. I would be on map 1 which is very few mods like dci or map 2 which is downpipes, charge pipe or fmic but not fbo. I planned on starting with a 60/40 split before going 50/50 on the map.

Well after a run in with curb at Target this morning I have a set of M3 rep side skirts ordered!
-
I had no words but my wife said "ohhhhh that was your car!" Then i parked and she looks over at my side skirt and goes "ohhhh thats your car on the ground!"
-
M3 side skirts are set to show up on Friday! I'm thinking about buying a sprayer and painting these on my own. It'd be nice to have that instead of rattle canning stuff.
-
Well I have a few updates with pics to come later.
-About 2 weeks ago I picked up a rear diffuser from wiscoE90 and installed that last weekend after repainting it. Anyone who follows me on instagram (@patsbimmer1) has seen that already.
-I picked up my m3 side skirts from paint this week and will be throwing them on this weekend.
-My water pump took a shit on my way to work on Wednesday so I had it towed home for free thanks to BMWCCA roadside assistance. I ordered the pump and thermostat yesterday from Turner Motorsports. I asked if they could get it sent out yesterday morning so I could install it over the weekend and a rep called me up and I told him my wife was due very soon and I wanted to get this done asap in case I needed the car. They upgraded me to 2 day shipping so I could have it by Saturday AND they threw in a Turner Motorsports "future racecar driver" toddler shirt for free! That's why I keep spending money with these guys. There pricing is usually on point but the customer service is above and beyond!
-
that's awesome.
I remember when the water pump went on my old 135. Literally right as I pulled into the parking structure at work. I hate corporate america so i got a smug sense of satisfaction knowing that my car was pissing all over their floor.
I'll come install your water pump if you roll fenders for me !
