only shadow line grills and black roundel overlays until break in is finished...after that I'm still completely undecided but likely a DIAF, TBE, and lighter wheels/stickier tires

I was thinking the same thing .. BMW Performance Intake .. I'll do exhaust, but will wait a little to here for myself what some of them sound like.

I would like to see the BMW performance intake similar enough to the OEM intake that it could be used with the Streamline filter.

I am leaning toward an Dinan or some other reflash and leaving it at that.

track time, procede v3, more track time, suspension mods, intake, catback, in that order. then more track time.

spending 5200.00 on mods for a Dinan badged car is tempting though. stage 1 suspension + tune + free flow exhaust = DINAN badge!

I have given up on full out modding. a few calculated mods is always better and preserves the integrity of your car. I went a little overboard with my car, now I have to pull parts off in order to sell it.

But I'm looking at the following.

1. JB1 or Turbo Tuner (I'm waiting on the new ECU information)

2. SE Air Filter, or BMW Performance Intake

3. I was reading on E90post about a new Diverter Valve. I'm curious to hear what benefits people are getting from these.

4. My sexy girlfriend will be modded to the passenger seat.

Just make sure you keep your air pump with you so you can keep her inflated ...

Crowley you Son of a B!%#@!!! jk


She actually helps the car go faster, cause as I pull up to race some other ride, the dude gets distracted by her, I fly off the line and smoke him.

So she indirectly speeds up my ride.
......Yeah, that logic works for me.

I would love down the line, WAY down the line, to have a nice 400whp map on my 135i and then be able to switch back to my "everyday commute" map with a Helix, FMIC, DPs, intake, etc. Maybe the Corsa exhaust depending on how it sounds.

Flash or piggyback, I'll probably wait for the dust to settle after a few months and see what's what. First thing I'll do is an intake, since I want to hear the turbos a bit more, but I'll wait until somebody does a decent aftermarket intake that still uses the cold air ducts (and doesn't charge whatever ridiculous amount BMW Performance does)
