@ThicWhips Why haven't you bought a house yet instead of wasting your money on renting an apartment? By all means, I'm not trying to talk Sh*t, just curious. I'd like to see you do a garage build, and I'm sure you would make your garage look sick!.
Hey, I don't recommend you run 255 fronts/265 rears on your F30 xDrive. The rolling diameters need to be under 1% for xDrive in order to avoid damage to the transfer case. The ideal staggered tire size for your wheels would be 245/40R19 fronts and 275/35R19 rears. The rolling diameters are 26.7 inches and 26.6 inches respectively, a 0.4% difference. Use a tire calculator if you want a meatier look or stretch look so you can stay under that 1% difference between front and rear. Great video btw, can't wait to own a B58 one day!
I gotchu boss. Run 235/40 fronts with 265/35 rear tires for your 19s. Pros: It provides more sidewall which means a smoother ride. The car will sit higher off the ground with no wheel gap. Xdrive will be happy. It will provide a meatier look. Do I need to say more? Possible Con: Looking at the ride height, you most likely won't rub on your fender liner on big bumps. Although if you go lower in the front with your suspension set softer, for comfort, then you might rub on big bumps at speeds 85mph +
Looking great. An open air intake is another way to add interest in the engine bay, but I realize some are concerned about heat soak. Nothing I have noticed on my 440i though (AP intake)
I always thought these chargepipes didn't have to be replaced on the B58s. Around what boost levels or hp levels do you recommend upgrading the charge pipe? edit: watched 2 minutes of the video and now feel personally attacked
I have f32 fbo and mhd stage 2+. I had xdelete on for 2 pulls and turned the xdrive back on. My 0-60 was .6 higher without xdrive on. It did feel different and couldn't hook for nothing. I run 225/40/19 up front and 255/35/19 in rear. Rolling diameter is all that matters.. the combinations that are possible are endless.
Okay, so In the summer I was going to do wheels on the 328 X-drive. It’s a down pipe and a tune away from being ready for Stage 2 with the supporting mods. Don’t plan on doing that until I get some B16s for it and Brakes. What tire size do you recommend for that?
Hey I just gotta ask man where is that parking garage at because it looks very sick to take pictures at and i also do live in Charlotte but I just don’t know that spot if you can tell me thank you!!!
well, modding companies must be worried about their future with stricter regulations and eventually phasing out ICE cars completely. In the UK the sale of new ICE cars will be illegal in just 9 years - regardless if the electric infrastructure is ready (which it won't be). People went full r*tard on wokeness and climate change post Trump. Revenge? No idea, but we put the crazies behind the wheel.
I have a 550i M-Sport xDrive running 245/35/RF20 y xl on the fronts and 275/30/RF20 y xl on my rears so apparently the xDrive can take offsets. Just thought I would toss that out there.
Gr8 vid, TW. The plastics under the hood of BMWs are the downfall to these motors. If you care bout your whip, change as much plastics as you can. Even if you don't boost it. PM.
BMW fixed blow charge pipes on the B series engines. This is really a unnecessary mod unless you want to run WMI through the charge pipe. There are people running stock charge pipes on 600hp+ B58s
90% of mods are unnecessary my man. We mod cars for more reasons than just “it will hold with more power”. I think I touched on that in the video a few times. Gotta remember, there are people building cars with goals that are different than yours. It’s not always about power.
I wish there was an aftermarket solution for the coolant lines... that's the only thing that ever left me stranded. Swapped my old plastic chargepipe immediately afterwards as preventative maintenance...🤞
@@ThicWhips Right but read his comment again. He’s saying the plastic is the downfall of the engine. That can be true but definitely not the charge pipe. Gloss black charge pipe looks super nice in the engine bay and definitely a cool mod but it’s not really a maintenance mod anymore.
It's just not BMWs, most car manufacturers use plastic. Bmw just have a bad rep because people that can barely afford to own one, buy it 2nd hand and aren't ready to maintain it properly, then start to cry.
Did a charge pipe video on my wife’s 440i and people kept saying it was unnecessary but little do they know I’m doing meth as well 😏 Also if you do 245/40 in the front and 275/35 in the rear on those m4 wheels you should be fine with drive! Love the videos!!
Project is quicky taking form 👏🏾 Quick Question....thoughts on VRSF charge pipe for N20 (any other name brand recommendations), from a precautionary measure?
For what it's worth I used a VRSF charge pipe on my N55 and had no issues with fitment or quality. Just make sure everything is seated and snapped in (including the silicone coupler) and you should be good. Not sure about the N20, but the worst part on the N55 was disconnecting the plastic vacuum line for some reason and then trying to worm the old pipe out of the engine bay. It's a different layout on the B58, but on the N55 (possibly similar on N20?) you also need to watch the O-rings on the FMIC connection and replace them correctly... good luck!
