About 7k miles, and the ride is slightly stiffer, however the floatiness and dive/squat has been eliminated.

You can't void the warranty unless the issue is directly related to the catless downpipe. Even then, they can only deny that specific claim.

Apparently a intercooler upgrade would be better than downpipe?

So I understand you're looking to sell your F10. Was your decision to sell have anything to do with your BM3 installation?

Did the BM3 install work for you?

Bm3 was really good. I'm just selling because I want something super fast and smaller and sportier.

Haha I'm still gonna come visit ya when I get my Stage 2 MP turbo and race your c63. I'm planning on 450whp for the 535. If that doesn't work I'll move over to a ESS e90 M3 and try again. Enjoy the new ride buddy.

Looking forward to it

Just curious, how much $$$ have you dumped into the 535i?

Over the course of the 2.5 years money spent looks something like this:

Purchase of F10 = 35k
GSR Tune = beta tester
Debugging GSR tune = 400
Deleting GSR tune = 40
MP Tune = beta tester
Springs and install = 300
Adjustable shocks and install = 1100
M5 sways and install = 300
CDV mod and install = 100
Custom exhaust = 300
DP and install = 300
Custom air intake = 40
GFB DV+ and install = 350
Sprint booster = Xmas gift
UUC short shifter kit, 550 clutch and install = 1500
Coding = 60
Tinting = 190

Upcoming mods:
FMIC = 900*
MP stage 2 turbo = 1000*

Please go ESS E90 right now so I can live vicariously through you. I'm 6'7 and don't fit in an E90 anymore or else I would've already supercharged one...
