Thanks for sharing, that is a great comparison video. I wish someone would do one like this the Eventuri to see net gains as well...

Cheers

Hey so is this compatible with the 2020+ f54 clubman jcw? I have the 2021 f54 jcw and was planning to buy it but it says its only fits the bmw m135i. Thanks in advance!
