Hey guys! I figured I'd make a build thread to catalog what I'm doing/have done with my car so far. It also helps keep my head straight and garner any suggestions along the way

Bought the car like this:




When I bought it, it came with:

M-Sport Front, Black Kidneys, Carbon High Kick Spoiler, LCI Tails, Tom's V4 Headlights
JB4 + DCI's
ST Coils


The very first mods I did were ECS tranny mounts and CDV delete:







Next up was ECS Boost gauge, BMS Cowl Filters:







Next it was time for a "baseline" dyno to see what I was working with:







Shortly after, my neighbor backed into my car and cracked my front fender. So off to the body shop to have that replaced. Had the hood dents/marks fixed and had him paint the belt line.









Picked up a FPM-1 from BoostConcepts and installed that:




Next up was Stoptech rotors, ECS Wheel Studs, Stoptech Perf Street pads, ECS SS lines, Motul RBF600 flush and Bimmerworld Solid guide bushings:










Lastly for now, I just had my local INDY shop do a nut blasting, OFHG, oil change, coolant flush and install my MMP inlets and outlets:




Next up, I've got some new wheels to install, and work on an e85 tune. Maybe some other mods as well.

Looks nice!


Did you notice a big difference after the MMP inlets/outlet install?

How many hrs did they charge you for the MMP parts installation

Car pulls MUCH harder into the higher rpms now. Seems to hold boost better and sounds amazing. I'm sure even more is to be had when I switch to BEF and map5 or map 7.

They underquoted me hard so they were stuck to charging me what they originally quoted me. I got an incredible deal on it. I would guess they would charge 4-500 for install.

Did you go with the 70A or 80A "durometer" rating transmission mounts, and how do you like them?

Opinion on the CDV delete?

I upgraded mine for $10 total with mounts from older BMW

I got the 80A ones. I love them. Definitely some NVH added, but the feel is great. Shifting is very precise.

Probably one of the best mods I'ver ever done.

I am running just 93 pump right now, but I'm going to switch to E60 at some point. Haven't ordered the diesel snorkel yet, you?

[screaminfast]

Original post updated. Added GSP arms and wheels!

Very slick looking ride. Clean mods.....I'm off to google that boost gauge now. I needs it!I have bought all my mods from Burgertuning.....I haven't seen that. Ahhh.....just noticed ECS....
