Old quad diffuser will be on sale shortly in case anyone is interested, painted in Mineral Grey.

Thanks to the guys at Mstyle Essex.

getting tempted to install some spacers my self, mmmmm. are you running stock suspension? most of the cars on here that run spacers seem to be on acs springs

Kiddy1 · 07-20-2016, 01:36 AM

Love it. What width spacers did you go for? I'm guessing 15mm or 20mm?

teaston · 07-20-2016, 02:55 AM

Looks meaty!

Hey Stefan,

Yes stock at the moment.
Still in 2 minds about springs as I dont really want the ride to become any "stiffer" :S

Although I'm happy with the drop on the rear but the fronts could do with a slight drop.

Hey Mate,

Thanks, I'm actually running 15mm at the front and 12mm on the rears.
Was planned as the opposite but it just did'nt look right.

In hindsight 15mm on front and rears would work too.
Spacers were by TPI.

I bet you do. Fantastic engine. Do they do that exhaust mod for the 335d? It should have come out of the factory looking like that Imo.

Hi Mate,

This mod was done when I bought the car from a local German car specialist in Essex. I would recommend having a word with EMPPerformance in St Albans to give an idea about potential costs etc. They are known for their custom installs.

As mine is only from the back box I would like to drop the Cat all together and have a straight through system...small problem however ....called the BMW Waranty and MOT lol

AnthonyR · 07-20-2016, 07:26 AM

Looks great, well balanced

I'm sure you been asked this question a hundred times.
What is your take on the ACS springs over the standard M Sport suspension?
That is my next move hopefully but as always I am a bit complacent about the potential change in ride comfort with this being my daily drive.

I think I mentioned this previously but the rear height seems to be ok but the front can be dropped a tad so just wanted to some advice from someone that has the setup

CazuaLLUK · 07-21-2016, 01:53 AM

How much was that exhaust mod with and without fitting?

Kal101 · 07-21-2016, 07:45 AM

Liking the look

Especially the quads

Any change in noise etc.

M40CCA · 07-21-2016, 09:28 AM

Loving that exhaust I've been thinking about quads myself you have just made my mind up for me

225 · 07-21-2016, 03:55 PM

Have to say quad pipes does look rather fetching on an f31! If it makes double the noise of the stock 340 then all the better but as mention would bugger the warranty!

Hiya mate,

Not too sure how much this would be on its own as i had a bunch of stuff done together when i bought the car, the exhaust just one of the things.
Off the top of my head looking at up to £500 I would imagine.

Cheers mate.
More an aesthetic change than sound with mine being a Diesel.
There is a fair change in the exhaust note across the rev range but nothing compared to a Petrol.
