Could someone give me some pointers on when certain changes came in, as I'm really looking for a comp model and ideally don't want a OPF.

My M4 has downpipes, MPE, coilovers and BM3 stage 2 map - what sort of mild tuning options are available and what mods are essential to upgrade the base package?

TIA,
Steve.
Unfortunately Steve, all Comps come with the OPFs. The 2019 onwards, up until the LCIs, do still sound ok with pops and bangs, but not as good, or as often as a non OPF car. The LCI has no pops and bangs, as they are actually mapped out, for noise regs etc. You ideally will be looking at a 2018, or early 2019 non Comp M5 if you want the full fat noise. Its a damn shame, but just the way it is, and the way all cars are going. Everything sound wise is being diluted atm, its just some more than others, and the M5 seems hard hit in this respect .
