For a daily driver/mostly stock car I would go with FMIC!

Intercooler, of course...

FMIC and then if you decide meth which you can have it setup with an ON/OFF switch..

IC 1st for sure. Unless your hotrod

What's the highest octane gas you can get at the pump? If you're restricted to 91 then go with meth, otherwise FMIC

For daily drivers, Intercoolers are always recommended.

Why is the intercooler a better choice, anybody have a good reason?
Thanks again

How much would it be to have an FMIC installed? Also, I have an 07 335 without the oilcooler, how much to have this installed as well?

The intercooler permanently cools your intake charge, pay once and enjoy forever. The methanol must be re-filled like gas...

Oh, and think about it, is it worth it to add extra fuel in the engine for which the ECU doesn't account, just to cool the intake charge ? Consider methanol if your really have reasons to do it...
