n55 build suggestions?

xcxxr335 · 02-23-2015, 04:17 PM

What's up guys looking for some suggestions here. I recently got a 2011 e90 335i xdrive AT, my overall goal is 450hp as of now. Aside from necessary upgrades to handle the power (lower suspension, wider tires, breaks) what mods/bolt one/tune should I be in the market for? I currently have 53k and so far all I have is a BMS intake and alpina transmission flash? Thanks in advance.

Welcome!

If you are talking about seriously reaching 450awhp then you are in for quite an adventure.

Most people start with this:

FBO (Intake, DP, FMIC, CP, Exhaust)
Tune (JB4, COBB, etc.)
Methanol or Ethanol

Most FBO n55's in my area are barely pushing 400 with all of the above, but you don't see many xdrives in Austin so I am not sure how much of a difference it makes.

Also, I am only Cobb stage 2 right now and my upgraded wheel/tire/coilover combo isn't able to put my full power to the ground when I get on it, a LSD is highly recommended.
