Howdy everyone!

I recently had the privilege of installing the Active Autowerke performance midpipe into a gorgeous 2018 F30 M3. Its an incredible car that really is going to benefit from this upgrade. This is something I can say you should ABSOLUTELY install on your F8X car, and hear and feel the difference. It truly is dramatic both in sound and immediate pedal feel after installation. I literally don't know why you wouldn't do this on your F8X platform.. the difference is truly that good!

Make SURE to check out the before and after sound clips at the end of the DIY, and my camera mic doesn't do it full justice! Yeah.. the difference is amazing and you can hear me laughing in appreciation at the new growl and pops!

Thank you to my partner Active Autowerke and my buddy and owner of the M3 Andrew! This really was a lot of fun!
