OP, my suggestion would be to leave the car stock for a while and get a proper feel for it. Maybe some track days with an instructor if you haven't done that sort of thing before.

Since you're in FL get yourself a good FMIC like this one before price goes up (a bunch of us got it at $360 on GB Sale) right now looks like $389 and free shipping (I received mine within 3 days, unlike others you gotta wait a full week)
http://www.ctsturbo.com/cart/product...-4939-553.html

- FMIC (A must to prevent heatsoak)
- Intake ; not worth it, buy AFE Pro Dry drop-in filter
Like others have said
-Chargepipe, Downpipe + lighter wheels

Get in touch with Miami Performance Inc; they're BM3 dealer!

why?
- They have 335 agarcia5433 who broke World Record on N55 stock turbos FBO car with Meth Injection & Bootmod3 at 446whp 570wtq (now has gone PS2 and numbers will coming soon)
- I wont mention the other cars just to keep this N55 focused

You can already run E40% mix and that should gain you some good ponies, if you decide to go for more and want to max out your stock turbos or upgraded in the future, supplemental fueling such as Meth INjection or Port Injection(more E85) is going to be needed.

Don't forget chargepipe or you'll be in limp mode on the side of the road before you can say cheap plastic

But there's nothing more entertaining than watching BMW fails on Youtube of a driver with more mods/power than driving skill...

Actually, what gave me the most was the suspension and differential. Biggest smile ever came with the Quaife LSD.
The car is fast as it is and the safest seconds gained around the track comes from the above, ( + correct tires
The extra power is useful to a certain point, and if you are tracking i.e. the Nurburgring you'll find out. I know my car is faster than my skills

Or he can slowly add parts one at a time to get a feel for each one.

Chargepipes, exhaust, intake, downpipe, FMIC, tune, turbo.


IMO, our cars (N55) are slow asf stock. The power to weight does not match, and why buy a 35i/40i if you're going to stay stock? It has loads of potential and you have a safety power level you can stay at (400WHP) without breaking anything. I'd be more worried once you break the 450WHP mark.

Life is too short to stay stock!

Fixed the order of adding mods for you.

I do think he should do CP before tune. Don't want it to explode.

Yeah, I would say do the tune and CP the same day--The only reason I would not do the CP first is because you do the work and have nothing fun to show for it, but the tune gives
