To ge rid of the check engine light you need to re-adjust the flap holder stick into position. When its out pf position it opens or closes way too much thats why you get the check engine light. WHEN ITS IN THE RIGHT POSITION IT HAS A STOP LIMIT TO OPEN AND CLOSE.
I have a 22 and thinking about removing the passenger side flips for constant intake air flow vs removing the complete. My one flip broke on my X7 and I unclipped the clip from the active arms. No CEL
This was so satisfying to watch remove that grill🔥, another great vid kiicks, always love finishing shift at work coming home chilling and watching, much love bro!🙌🙌
There was no way to code them to stay open? It hurt to see such a cool and efficient system just cut-up like that. To me the benefits of having it outweigh any visual preferences especially once winter comes around.
Honestly my favorite content on UA-cam, idk how but every one of the cars Corey builds has become a dream car for me. Time and time again this mf keep bringing heat
Have never seen mine open, not even once. But I also live a cold climate and the reason to me not doing this delete, then again could always install a engine heater to minimize the nasty cold starts
If you do find how to tune it out, please let us know. Even with the active grill removed, once that actuator goes out you'll still get that check engine. And they go out fast man. My x7 has 40k miles and it's already out
no kap at first i thought u were trippin nd just being ocd nitpicky but that shit looks sm better fr good shit bro like u said fuck what people think just do it
create tension on the grill try and cut a little rubber band or use something elastics and tie it to the motor and then to somewhere tucked away but the will have tension the motor will pull against the band thinking it’s moving the arms. Has to work i go to enginnering school for this 😂
@@Lurkin2one8 I know how it works I’m a bmw tech. I agree I hate the design of the radiator flaps altogether. It was made to combat people who run their cars outside to warm them up. But if he would have left the top and bottom runners that the flaps attach to and not cut the motor arms that connect to the runners and just cut the flaps itself I think he would have been fine. The motor needs to identify the end positions of fully open and fully closed. With no arms or anything attached it will continuously spin and when it can’t find a stop position it will tell the dme that it is either stuck open or stuck closed or the position reading is implausible
@@Lurkin2one8 I mean it’s nothing I have tried as like an experiment on a car with broken flaps but I think the theory will work if you let the car warm up and while it’s warm the flaps will open then cut the flaps but leave the runners and actuation arms intact
Modding your car to make it run worse. There's a huge opening in the bumper that gives the car all the air it needs. All you did was make it less aerodynamic. Heat exchangers are more efficient than intercoolers.
I like your style. Keep the tag on it and return it right back to the store!!! Lol. I agree though, def keeping it open 100% of the time makes way more sense. To turn around and reverse engineer it to be closed. Maybe in cold climate like you said, but no.
Very helpful video! Last week someone slammed on their breaks in front of me and my grille & active air intake bars broke. I haven’t removed the grille yet to see if I need to replace the whole piece where the active intake bars are or like you did just remove them. My check engine light came on about 30 minutes after driving though….. hopefully I can do this method 🤞🏼
Yea its not really needed cuz you have a hood with a vent in it, it would matter more if you had the oem hood still cuz the air would be trapped in the engine bay
How’s that check engine light working for you 😂. The light won’t hurt your vehicle but people need to understand that if you do this you will have one. I have a x5 M50i with the active delete and a full x5M grill and I have an engine light. Got rid of it through bimmer link but it comes back. Also did the v bars with blue covers and looks freaking awesome with the blue in my laser lights.
The car is amazing but the active grille ruined the aesthetic. There might be some wiring loop or capacitor arrangement or something that can bypass the warning light.
The fact you named the warehouse the shoe palace is so oddly fitting. Should start collecting teehees on the walls 🤣 need to have fresh kicks for all the whips
I’m pretty sure you mentioned it on other m340i video for the active grill. Did you re-do this but not cut the flap that connects to the controller module to avoid CEL?
It really is the little things...looks 10x better. Now to paint match the bars with the Calipers :)
Got different plans! Lol
It does look a lot more aggressive/cool without the active grill another small but big upgrade W video!
Love the active grille. Warms up super fast so I can drive aggressive, and protects the radiator. Aerodynamics and mpgs are a bonus.
Happy you’re enjoying the Great Wall of china 🤣
@@Freshhkiicks the entire car is built in mexico
@@HaloDude557 that’s the 340 not the m340i hope you know that…

Lemme try! If it works I owe you more than uncle sam
UPDATE: Repositoned it to how it was & it spun all the way around now & its seized 💀
@@Freshhkiicks 🤣🤣🤣 time for a new grill?
Just have someone to code it out for you

Can we do some rims delete on your car too? Like wtf are those...
My 540i flaps bottom and top are not working I think I need a new motor but it's a pain in the @$$ to find the exact one
Us car guys thinking we know more than bmw about bmw 😂😂

Yes I code my to stay open all the time
@@seannguyen8686how’d you code em? It possible with a 23’ m340?
😭 definitely worth the check engine
did you leave the active grill motor hooked up? i think if you leave it in, it doesnt give you a light... but if it does it must be the new one...
YOO KIICKS….Man it never be filler in his content, gotta love it and When you go start throwing your own events?
I don’t have the patience man lol
i like the few seconds to appreciate the heat on the feet every episode!

“Now it looks like a BMW” is so fucking right, it looks amazing now when it shares more resemblance with the older 3 series models
People that don’t experience that extreme meticulous ocd will never know the struggle.
is this the dravit grey metallic color ?
there's no coding to code the grill flap keep open?? hmmm
LOVING THESE CONSISTENT UPLOADS!!
Loving the daily content! ❤
yeah I thought too my self why even put a grille if its closed but I didn't know it opened , still looks way tighter with that ev look removed
W DAY WHEN KICKS UPLOADS FIRST !
no kap at first i thought u were trippin nd just being ocd nitpicky but that shit looks sm better fr good shit bro like u said fuck what people think just do it
Can you please tell me how you got rid of check engine light with a downpipe installed? Thanks
Tune.. or in some cases 02 spacer
@@Freshhkiicks Thanks Ive heard 02 censor isn't safe for the car. I hope MHD can clear it.
Can’t you just break it? I have a m550 with this stupid option too
Finally decided to do it lol 🔥🔥🔥🔥 sheeeeesh!!🔥🔥
How can you change the color of the v brace ?
How did you resolve the check engine light?
Looks way better man, nice 🔥🔥🔥

How do I get the check engine light?
As long as the actuation motor moves to each open and closed position the check engine light won’t come on

why did he get rid of the m340 it looked so good
This build is too clean bro. Please don’t sell it lol. I wanna see as much content with this car as possible
Its clapped
knowing kiicks he will sell it at some point lol
He’s for sure gonna sell it

So why don’t m’s have active grille? Lol
@@Freshhkiicks bc why wol an m car care about aero to improve MPGs???
@@Starscream8896 so how am I making it run worse LMFAO
@@Freshhkiicks never said you were… just saying your response is dumb lmao
Live from the chop palace, why did they even make this 😅 im dead
Looks really better 🔥 it’s going to look sick with the red covers for the grill bars
You fart in a BMW you get a " check engine " light. I would blackout the bars and maybe add a mesh screen to protect the radiator.
lmao fr...it has an oem mesh protector
why ts looks like an m5

they should make a factory option where you can choose when you want it opened or close
trueeeee
Lmaooo when you’re cutting it and saying bitch got me dying
Didn’t even take the tag off the loppers ☠️
hell yeah its always new
Makes it easier to return them lol
Just finished watching the new te setup vid. Perfectt
Isn’t that an 330 i grill ? I believe the car will take the air when needed but ,you’re choice .doesn’t air get in from the bottom grill ?
No it’s universal 3 series..
Much love Love homie Escondido CA tapping inn
As hot as the b58 runs I don’t know why they didn’t just leave her open.

i couldnt stop laughing when you got to chopping 🤣
should i get this or an is500 ?
Brooo!!! You got a check engine light! 😮😂 JK
Who told you to cut them like that 😂I’m sure you could’ve just pulled them off 😂😂
Yea its not really needed cuz you have a hood with a vent in it, it would matter more if you had the oem hood still cuz the air would be trapped in the engine bay
Yessir kiicks feeding the needy, the content needy
What made you get a 340 instead of a m3 does the 340 have more potential?
Most likely price
I did on mine car and you can take off with the tube bm3 but you need custom

Any luck on getting rid of the check engine light lol?
Anyone wanna bet kicks will paint his bash bars next ? 😂
My man kept the tag on those cutters, they going right back afterwards 😂😂 jk
The check engine light would bother me more than the grill 💯😂
Looking like whistlin diesel the way u cutting up the grills lmao looks way better now🔥🔥
The car is amazing but the active grille ruined the aesthetic. There might be some wiring loop or capacitor arrangement or something that can bypass the warning light.
The TE’s were a great move bro, don’t change ‘‘em this should be final form lol
Unless some meisters come my way I’ll have to see how those look lmao but it’s my favorite so far🔥
I love it my boy Freshhkiicks keep up the good work and I love the video 👍 😂
so like ive been considering an m340, but i always felt like there was something throwing me off with the front end. i think this was it LOL
Now what would be cool, you could get carbon inserts to go in there so it looks more clean
It's just one of those little details that makes such a huge difference, I'm the same way I let the little stuff get to me too.
The fact you named the warehouse the shoe palace is so oddly fitting.
Should start collecting teehees on the walls 🤣 need to have fresh kicks for all the whips
Goood freakin call man 100 times better now just need to paint match the bars showing maybe ?? 👀
FRESHHH ZAPATOS!!
Looks way better, that's my gripe with the newer bimmers is that it looks off having those block off plates in the grille.
Where the yellow DRL’s at my boy?
it looks amazing, hope water doesn’t get directed right into the intake tho
Nahh grill isn’t always closed when it rains so won’t affect anything
Looks 10x better forsure
😂 This is hilarious. The joy in your voice... Delete, delete, delete! 😂 I totally understand, I would have done the same thing. 👍🏿
Just changed mine… damn stupid Amazon sellers sent me the wrong one 3 times!
you don't know what OCD is...
Watching this high off a blunt 🙏
Damn first time checking back in a few months… this car is mad clean now!
Aren't these for aero more than anything?
To help save gas not to go fast 😂
that was the right way the active grill looks strange in my opinion
Get that crash bar powder coated now 👀👀👀
I’m pretty sure you mentioned it on other m340i video for the active grill. Did you re-do this but not cut the flap that connects to the controller module to avoid CEL?
After 1.5 hours of diving into your m340i content, I found the answer I was looking for. It was on your mod list video.
Happy new year brotha.
is this a m340i xdrive or rwd?
rwd
pretty sure on a custom tune you can just give them the code and request the tuner to delete it
code reader called you a POSAI
Are you done modding the car ?
Is it possible to remove the shutters without cutting them permanently?
That startup sounds gooooooood
Surprised you can't just code that out
BM3 - you can tell it what codes to ignore
Tried lol
“Is that Vtech dah “
Looking good huge difference dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻
1:02 doesn't know how it works
2:51 knows better than BMW engineers
Decided to delete it any way. Lol
Looks so good with the active grill delete. Gonna do this on my m550
Plz get rid of the carbon grill looks gross and tacky Also makes the hood look like it’s not sitting right
Worth it 😂🔥 But damn new these computers by annoying sometimes
