    For anyone who watches this video. This car is not a twin turbo, it is a 2.0 4 cyl with 1 twin scroll turbo.

      I was like he's way off Twin Turbo but doing 240hp? Nope but he should've fixed it and said twin-scrolled

    The 240hp is a rough estimate! I have the same exact car and I’m pushing 270hp. Bmw is known to under rate their engines they always push more than what they say. That being said the car MOVES when you want it to. I love this car it’s a great commuter car for me during the week and fun low end sport car on the weekend. Handles like a beast on windy roads. Also, what exhaust do you have? It sounds pretty good for a 4cyl

    What happened to the car? Did you ever bump into any trouble aside from normal maintenance like oil changes, water pump, brake fluid and tires?

    • @r_starmotors3119

    Throw a injen sp on, delete your resonator and muffler.... Then your neighbor can hate you

    • @f22bmw
      @f22bmw Před 2 lety +1

      Oh, but you will need to flash the ecu, as the injen bolt on drastically alters the airflow... For the better... But will throw on the engine check light.... Worth it for the burbles alone
