Hi guys,

I was hoping to get some advice on the best first mod.

My thoughts were:
BMW Performance Exhaust
TCKline Coilovers

Thoughts on which would be best or if something else would be better.

So far I have black kidney grills and performance package on the car due to ordering the performance edition.

Thanks your thoughts and suggestions are welcome!

Great ideas! I think that Coilovers should be first, but before the exhaust, I would have to say get a tune, downpipe, intake (for you n54 guys), then the BMW PE!


I hope this helps. It is usually the course for a lot of n54 guys around here.

Anybody else have any opinions?
Thanks.

Is this for a 2009 135i or 2011 335xi?

Tint is already in the works, and that's why I didn't mention it.

My local dealership recommended a tint shop to me but I found out they only use dyed tint. (install for $199) That concerns me a little so I am looking more. I kind of want to put ceramic on so it lasts a little longer.

I probably will wait until spring to do the install on either, but if I find a good deal I would purchase them.

+1

get a tune first, or maybe spoilers

inbox me, i live in the qc. we should meet up sometime and maybe you can get some ideas from my ride.

Tune! If you're not worried about warranty. Then again doesn't XI sit a bit higher? They do look great lowered.

[WilliamS]

JB4 or Procede. Changes the car, then coilovers.

[QC135Vert]

I think I'm going to go with the coilovers and tint for now. Thanks for the help everybody!

[mashimarho]

Oh.. You have n55.
Tune, coils, dp, BMW PE if that's the case.

Yep it's a n55. I'm a little hesitant to tune at this time.

I think PE is a good idea but if you're looking to lower your car, probably coilovers and then PE. You say you're hesitant about a tune at the time but if you weren't I'd definitely say to go with a tune before PE and coilovers.

Wheels.

[Eugeinus]

def coils first. The X drives have a terrible wheel gap. It'll improve the look and handling and get rid of the "floaty" feel. Tint is relatively inexpensive as well. After that, I'd say performance mods.

Agree to disagree. I love both sets of my wheels.
