I checked with a couple FMIC vendors and so far, there's nothing out yet for the F30. A couple of them said they thought the N55 FMIC from the E9X series would work, but I wouldn't make that assumption.

Anything BMW designs can't be as good as Dinan/ETS/AMS, or as efficient, how hot is this:
I gained a lot of extra power from adding an ETS intercooler to my Evo, so I'm taking a similar approach:
1. PPK/Dinan tune
2. Dinan intercooler (or aftermarket unsure).
3. DP with HFC.
That should at least get me to 400 at the wheels...
