i just call these car-topics as i see it. sorry if it doesn't align with your perceptions of what these cars are.
We drive decently quick sporty feeling luxo-cars geared for reliability. i'm just saying i don't expect any miracles.

Looks like he left off for a brief second at teh end then punched it again?? Either way, nice vid of a run of a stock 328i ("Oem Tune" means stock") lol. intake does nothing on a car of this power level. anyway Makes you realize how strong the 328 is. running up against 200T that has a tune plus full bolt ons. $$ For me, just tuning out the throttle delay would be enough on an already decent car.
Imagine a burger motorsports tune on that 328i.
imagine the new 330i with an updated engine. i may consider a 230i for my next car. anyway

Thanks for pointing that out **** lol jk. I think he had a scorcher tune but reverted it to the oem tune. He had the same bolt on setup but without the addition of a downpipe
230i, sounds like a chicks car but that's just me
Question, how do you block someone?

People call the IS a "chick" car too cause it's popular with women. Which is fine by me. I think you should buy a car cause you like it, not because a particular gender is associated or not associated with it.

its pretty popular with women I think mainly because of the esthetics and design. our car is borderline small but still almost as big as mid-size cars. 230i is definitely a chick car, super impractical and cute for a chick. Unless she drives an M2

A mid-size car like a Camry comes in at 99 Cubic ft. IS is the smallest car of the bunch. Trades practicality for style.

I am hoping to test the 21PSI tune from TTI soon and i'll try to get some dyno results on 93 OCT and even E85 mixture.

Awesome! How does the throttle feel in comparison to TTI. OV stage 0 would be equivalent to TTI stage 1. According to the dyno chart that Mat provided compared to my Stage 1 test I can see that OV made a lot more torque.
