In a bit of a quandry

I live in CA so I would need to get someone to mail me a JB4 stage 2 if I got it..

But for sake of argument pretend you have $2500 that you can spend to mod your vehicle and it's pretty much stock.. What would you buy? Reason I ask is because I have no effing clue what I would buy lol. You have a 2014 bmw 335i msport lol.

Depends on your priorities! Power? Sound? Handling?

I'd go sound and handling first. Perf Exhaust and M3 control arms.

Non RTFs, and HPDS and you can keep your warranty and be faster than most people who dump $5k in mods and don't know how to use it properly.

I agree, tires and HPDE will get "most" of us the biggest bang for the buck.

Power... First and foremost power...

I have drove this vehicle for almost 3 years before I started modding it. I was waiting until the warranty was about to expire. It's done in July of this year. I really do want the most bang for my buck in power..

I have done a bit of research but I keep running into a bunch of people who like one item and a bunch say they're crazy..

I have a way to get me the JB4 stage 2 (e series?) mailed to CA, but what else? What other engine mods would you do? Intercooler? Exhaust?

I don't like the loud exhausts. I used to drive a Turbo RSX-s with a 3" exhaust (I think it was 3", been a long time). But that thing had a cat on it and it was LOUD. I didn't want to go loud if at all possible..

Help

I didn't want to slam it.. I wanted a "pro kit" type of lowering. I do have an uninstalled prokit I might give away though if anyone is looking to get one. I will post if I plan to give them away. Also have the dinan sport I was looking to give away as well. Stay tuned.

Bmw 335i comes in 80mm (3.15 in) catback already
For jb4 you can find them used on the classified ad here
I would get an upgrade intercooler, charge pipes, intake, catback and a catless downpipe. That and run stage 2 jb4 should be pretty fast

Then you can do cosmetics as in front splitter, rear diffuser, side splitters, kidney grill, 6wb cluster, rear lip

Get some nice 19s and add some m performance brakes.

Thats my goal but i have a 328i lol

Sweet thanks! That sounds about right. I have cosmetics, and the M-Sport 19"s I was looking at getting another set and making them gunmetal grey.
