N55... What can I do?

So I'm eagerly awaiting my N55 '11 335ix e90 to be built... and while doing so I'm drooling over all the things that I could do to it... but there's a catch.

My wife and I are trading in my highly modded '04 STi for this (our first BMW) the reason being that it constantly needs love and has stranded my wife on a couple of occasions... so she wants to keep the BMW Warranty-Good so if it does strand her (HPFP?) she can call up BMW and not worry about it...

But I still want to mod it. So help me figure out what I can do and keep the warranty still in check :-)

I know I'm going to get the N55 Procede... and she's okay'd me teaching her how to remove it incase something happens and it goes to the dealer. But what else? [She just negated meth injection ]

Thanks!

I was going to say meth injection until i read your last sentence It really does make a huge difference. Meth injection+Procede gave me 10+mph in 1/4 mile trap speed.

Any way to install meth without the dealer noticing/caring? I think they'd notice the tank in the back :-P

BTW Shiv, I've been lurking here for weeks and I'm slowly compiling a list of questions about the Procede for the N55... beware

Would 100 Octane unleaded Sunoco 260GT+Procede N55 offer the same results as meth injection+Procede N55? I would prefer to go this route as it is much easier and convenient as I have a station that sells it right next to me?

Hey shiv, I remember reading you installed meth into your n55 135i. Was there any mods to the engine bay involved?

I had a 02' WRX, 04 STI, 08 STI, then my 1st BMW was my 335Xi. You will notice no turbo lag compared to the STI, much better MPG, and nice luxury comforts too! The inline 6cyl really puts down the TQ down low, I remember my prior STI's wouldn't really go until around 3k Rpms, nice to have instant power w/ the 335

Yeah putting a map/piggyback/tune on the car is simplest and best bang for buck for Power by far!

Enjoy!

Mark
