How about this BMW x6m build?

For now I just want to decide what I need before buying.

I didn't do any tuning in the past, so any advices will be good.

Exterior
Full Vorsteiner vrs http://vorsteiner.com/application/bm...m-vrs-program/ (pictures)
Manhart hood (overpriced?) https://www.manhart-performance.de/f...c77b7250ab.jpg
P.s. my car LBB color, I want paint carbon hood in lbb like on the pic
Carbon front grille and fender Autoteckinc
Ind BMW black roundel

Performance
Akrapovic exhaust. As my opinion manhart muffler have better sound than akrapovic, but it's steel for same price as titanium akrapovic, so ..
Dinan intake
Bootmod3 (should be good for custom setup because of the pure turbos stage 2?)
Need your recommendations for down pipes? I don't wanna be crazy loud, but as I know they give nice hp gains.
Rear brake pads Powerstop z26-919b

2 last options I'm unsure
Pure turbos stage 2. I mean maybe it's just to much for power increase
Air suspension (wtf?) Airrex. It's not about look (just a little), I want manage my car clearance frequently for highway use, track use and daily driving while I like to sit higher... is it stupid to buy them for that reason? Yes, I know it's expensive.

Any recommendations, additions? Thank you guys!

Will appreciate advise about best tuning shop that will configure and pull all that together in south florida?

P.s. my vehicle warranty almost expired

What are your power goals with the car? You'll need a custom tune with catless downpipes and the turbos to maximize the gains. Are you planning to run different fuel?

subtle CF always looks good
Wheels are sweet
Skip the hood, looks like ass and doesn't add anything besides making us

why rear pads only? I think the M brakes will handle your upgrades just fine.

2 more why so much hate about hood? I'm looking to paint it in lbb color as the car, its will not be naked carbon. Or you think it will be shitty even?

Rear pads only cuz they should handle squeal and dust.. those have nice reviews. I'm still deciding on front ones, tomorrow going to tuning shop to get their advises on many things.
What you think about vorsteiner front and back aero kit? I definetly like front, but back.. I think it will be something else

LOL, painting it would definitely help. But that raised lip surrounding the louvers makes them look like cheap JC Whitney add-ons. They totally jumped the shark by sticking those inserts in the hood. Especially when it already features that beefy bubble in the center.

I surprised that people don't like this bonnet, but I like it myself so much. That's how I found manhart, I saw image with this bonnet in Google. So, any more manhart-hood-haters?

the power dome and vents give the car a ricer look. but if that's your goal, then should go for it. most of the guys here go for the subtle CF, wheels and suspension.

Some updates
Bought front pads HB835Z.726 by Hawk, rear power stop z26-919b
Instead of pure turbos, I'll order soon rk autowerks turbo upgrade. Those guys made some crazy sh*t
Instead of Dinan intake - rk autowerks
+waiting on rk autowerks release charger cooler as they said it will be in a month or so.. great for Miami

Decided not to go with meth kit.. my second future car will have it

Btw just finished my all 4 mpss, new ones feels amazing

With that Stage 2, what DPs did you go for catted or catless? Oh and what brand if you would be so kind, as I'm looking to get some too hehe.
