New to Forum - 2011 335i-x MT, some upgrade advice
Hello Everyone,
I've been referring back to this forum for almost a year now and it's about time I joined up. I found the forum back when I was looking for info before purchasing my first BMW, it saved me from buying an n54 I ended up buying a manual 2011 335i xDrive M package with about 110KM on it, the biggest selling point for me was the extended warranty (until 2019 or 200K). She also came with an M Performance exhaust which I liked So far she's been good to me, I have had to do the expected maintenance for the mileage. List of stuff done:
I have already done a search and went through a bunch of the threads but I think my question seems to be pretty subjective and just looking for everyone's opinion before I pull the trigger on my next upgrades. It seems the next big performance upgrade would be a FMIC and down + charge pipe, however the options are so vast I'll probably end up getting a custom tune at the end anyways so sticking with COBB isn't a big deal for me (as far as I know ). My priorities would be:
Question 1: Can I stick with the M performance exhaust I have or do I need to upgrade this as well to increase performance? Question 2: Recommendations for the FMIC, down-pipe, and charge pipe? Catted vs catless? Question 3: I have nice 19" rims and the calipers look all ugly/rusty/dirty compared to the clean rims and rotors. I want to paint the calipers, clips, etc. so it looks cleaner. Do I have to use a specific kind of paint? Thanks in advance for the info dudes, looking forward to getting more engaged with the community |

Keep your exhaust. Upgrade to a VRSF charge pipe, go catless if your emissions law are lenient. Install a JB4 and enjoy the car.
