/wave! PCW Exhaust and BM3 Stage One review...
I'm back!
A bit of a hiatus since the E46 M3 11 years ago but alas, new job, bit of a pay rise and I'm back in the game with a 2017 M4 cab CP in dark grey. Apologies for the cabriolet bit but it's soooo worth it :E So. Just took a trip down PCW today, have to say I'm impressed with the results ! Got the exhaust work done and a stage one bm3 remap including the GTS transmission flash, I've got to say, f*** me that was all worth it! Loved every minute of my 4 hour drive back home, the results are fantastic. I've had the M4 for 10 months already but these mods have transformed it into what every M4 car should have been from stock!
Anyway, in sure you lot already know the impact of these mods but I just feel better for sharing ok! if anyone is in the Poole or Bournemouth area and wants to see, let me know I'm more than willing to share! haha Right time to get me a pair of MP4S for the rear! Peace

Great to read the review of BM3 I’m considering getting this at a later date but knowing that it brings such a smile to the face, I’m keen to get this on

You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend you consider the PCW exhaust mod as well to complete the package Car sounds savage now and it's completely customisable through the BM3 interface

Hi Steveo,
No, certainly not in Comfort mode, sport mode it's a little more there perhaps but I really haven't noticed it, it's a great mod. I usually switch between modes a lot anyway and only hit Sport Plus when I need it.

Not a good idea turning cold start off if you still have your primary cats. It's designed to protect them from damage at startup.
Not worth risking the cost of new cats for the sake of 30 seconds louder noise imo.

Great post. I have seen a lot about PCW and heard great things. Can I ask what work he did to the exhaust and how much it cost? Does he have different options for the exhaust side of things?

I believe he can taylor the sound how you want but to be honest I'd recommend you get the full treatment and then tone it down if you want using the bootmod3 flash which allows you to control all the baffles, when it kicks in, what revs, how aggressive etc. It's awesome! Still super quiet in comfort too

Isn't it just to get heat in them so they are more efficient? cold start even with both sets of cats is embarrassingly loud on these cars
