Need Mod Suggestions

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I usually don't make these kinds of threads, but we've had the car now for a few months now and in-between working on other projects that have reached completion I've decided to turn the focus onto our F30.

'15 335i M-Sport (Auto) @ 29K miles. Car came from dealer with some extras like CF side mirrors, CF trunk lip and MPE Exhaust. Currently have warranty until 2022 or 100K miles so i'd like to avoid mods that void warranty.

I'm leaning more towards some exhaust tweaks to liven it up, maybe a high flow resonator. Wheel spacers to make them more flush with the body. Bolt-on performance mods, factory tunes?

I'd like to hear opinions from F30 owners, what's been your favorite mod?

Interested to hear what people recommend, but also what trunk spoiler is that?

Dinan will maintain your factory warranty. Just expensive

I believe it's a factory option. Thought I saw it on the spec sheet, maybe someone will chime in:

Yeah, it's certainly more than I want to spend unless the gains are noticeable.
Do most N55 owners do high flow resonators or res deletes?

I'd recommend new wheels. The 400m wheels look nice but are very bland. Wheel spacers will help with the stance a bit. I prefer 18" wheels, but the 19" 403 wheels look great on a dark car like yours.

Some do because its cheap, most dont like it due to drone. If you want a nice aggressive exhaust tone, you will have to change your exhaust or add a downpipe. Both which will void the warranty *if* they can prove the exhaust was the cause for whatever the malfunction was.

Get the REMUS exhaust for the best sound out of this car.

Best mod to me is a tune. If you are worried about warranty get a JB+ and you can remove it before your dealership visit

Hey guys, with Black Friday right around the corner I think I want to get some wheel spacers. I'm thinking 15/10 to make it flush with the body on stock M-Sport height.

If I decide to lower it later on will this cause a rubbing issue with my stock wheels?

Also, if anyone has any heads up on black Friday wheel spacer deals - feel free to post them up!

Dude you definitely need some new wheels or maybe a drop. Your car looks jack up. Stance really helps. You need to decide if you want appearance or performance mods. There are quite a few and some are better bang for the buck than others. Catted high flow downpipe with liven up the exhaust and not be as expensive as a cat or axle back. Tune will make a great improvement. More if you have supporting mods. Good luck with the upgrades.

I will echo what has been said in other threads.

Tires - get rid of the RFTs if you can.
Suspension - Even just springs will change the dynamics of the car dramatically
Tune - the best bang for the buck
Charge Pipe - because the stock one has a high fail rate
