F36 Mod Recommendations?

Will be taking delivery of my F36 in about a week or so!

I want to prepare for the lovely car as soon as possible.

So far, I know for a fact that I need the car coded, especially the Video in Motion.

Other than that, I don't know much about coding but is there anything that my fellow bimmerpost members can recommend me?

As well as the exhaust, is it better off to do a Resignator/Muffler delete or purchase a exhaust system itself? Unfortunately, I didn't opt in for the M Performance exhaust or the Power Kit.

Other than that, is there anything that my fellow F36 members can also assist me with? Anything to make my F36 stand out when compared to other F36's in my neighborhood? (So far, I've noticed about 2-3 of them in different color, as mine is Estroil Blue).

Thank you in advance!
Jay.

Looks stunning

I've already begun and started research on the front lip, rear diffuser and the iND 435i badge.

Unfortunately, I do not have the M-Performance Exhaust..

If you don't mind me asking, do you know any shops you can recommend me in the NY area? I wouldn't mind taking a drive out to NJ but I have a pending warrant because I failed to respond to my speeding ticket I received a few months back.

I really love and dig your taste on this F36, tastefully modded and was wondering, since mine was Estroil Blue, was wondering what color combination would be great for the car? I was thinking Electric Yellow for the brake callipers.

I do believe I need something to cover my plates, but had seen bad reviews with the show & go motorized hidden plates, seeing as they break? I was thinking of going with ghost plates with AutoSportsBX. The ones that slide down instead of flipping up and down.

As far as coding-wise, what do you mean fully coded?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you
fully coded meaning my car has all the codes possible to many to list
as for the brakes calipers yellow would look good depending on what wheels you have or getting, my boy has the same car and color as you and he's doing copper wheels. It really depends on your taste for me i really don't like to over kill it

I do most of the stuff my self, below is the 2 places I've gone to get work done
Auto Couture - Coil Overs ( see Alex )
Great Neck Collision - Calipers, engine cover and rear diffuser painted (see Matt)

good shop would be The Custom Shop in Long Island City ( see Brett ) good people they wont jerk you, my brother had them do all the work on his M4
