BMW and M Power Owners

[tamzzy]

Will my 428i GC have exhaust valves that activate in Sport mode?

yes IIRC, the outer of the two tailpipes has a valve. in comfort and eco pro it's closed unless the engine is at high revs...then it's open. in sport/sport+ the valve is open all the time.
but as an ex-owner of a 428i and then a 440i (and now with the power and sound kit), the N20 engine with the stock exhaust isn't very loud or poppy

I have a confession to make, the 4 series grille is growing on me. Seen a few in person now and it looks ok!

Just tried it in sport and it does sound better, I just don't like the jerkinesss of the shifts and the heavier steering. A shame I can't have the noise and the comfort settings.

Can you select individual comfort and pick the exhaust?

discussion on making the i4 grill less obstrusive with M carbon grill - probably $$$

You should be able to customise this in the menu

what xenon said. you can customise the sports settings in the menu
you'd want to deselect chassis (ie drivetrain only)

Will have a look tomorrow then!

If it's the same as my 2GC you just press the mode button, choose sport individual and set each mode as you wish..

Thr 8 series is alright and the M5. The rest are a chavs wet dream.

I concur
Especially the M5 bit

600 miles of scotland air and dust

only 150 miles left before the RIS now

M performance parts seem to be coming soon for the new 4 series. I think this is a much better version of the grill (not quite as good as m4 but better than the usual 4 series grill)

So any M140i owners on here?

Is it worth grabbing a shadow Edition that has the Motech mods.

I think Shadow Edition is a swear word here.

Fitted as an optional extra.
