Anyone else been on the fence about moding their car?
Its a 20 plate & a great car, but am desperate for it to sound a little more aggressive (standard exhaust mod, not replacement). Also considering a maping tweak to unleash a little more.
Do these things affect its resale back into the main dealer network/ put off private buyers?
Thankyou!

Yes and yes…
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I know you have to be careful with engine and exhaust mods due to the PPF/GPF.
Pre 2018 B58 engined cars (without the PPF) could be fitted with BMW's own MPPSK, which was a cat-back valved exhaust and a re-map to 360bhp and 600nm. Obviously BMW warranty friendly and 'approved'.
God they sound good without being 'chavtastic'.
To get anything which will be 'BMW/ used friendly' on a G29 I only know of AC Schnitzer upgrades which are, frankly, ridiculous money.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
