2014 F30 335i Mod Recommendations ?
Hey everyone,
I recently traded in my RWD 2012 328i Sport line for a fully loaded 2014 335i xDrive; with both M packages! It's a blast driving and I only got to enjoy it for 2 days before I had to garage it and head off to the mountains for work. On my free time, I'm lurking the forums to see what other people are doing and here are my current impressions: Since my car is CPO'd and under warranty until next June, I've been hesitant to pull any big mods that they would void my warranty far, such as a flash . I would have pulled the trigger for the bootmod3 flash for the gunshots but as of right now, I'm sure it would void my warranty, unless someone would like to prove me otherwise, so please do My mod list during my warranty period: - ER chargepipe - AWE exhaust w/ midpipe - KW suspension - Air intake - Rims Mod list out of warranty period l: - Catless downpipe - bootmod3 flash Is there anything else I should put on the bucket list? ? |

Do you think that the inter cooler will void my warranty? I'm really thinking about getting a catless downpipe now and screwing the warranty if anything does end up happening.. |

It's better if you talk to your dealer. Some are cool about it. Or you could just use dinan. I have Dinan intake and it sounds pretty good

Since you have less than a year of CPO, i say prep the car NOW for the Big Upgrade Of Power once June passes. Thus upgrade to ER CP and add an LSD. Too many seem to not do the LSD, it is worth it imho. Intake is your call, yet the Dinan IC is massive and safe for your CPO. Basically, get bits that work great with the BM3, with an eye towards perhaps getting a bigger turbo / max performance. Lightweight rims, a suspension you prefer, and sticky tires are always fun of course.
JMHO

KBB even tracks price data between the two options. The dealer would love to make you think it's required, but it's really just extra cash in the bank for them. 2014 335i x drive with 24,000 miles msport/tech pkg. CPO from a dealer -> 34978 Used from dealer -> 33278 |

As for downpipe, I was seriously considering about getting a catless and pairing that with the bootmod3 flash but due to the warranty and such, it's put it at a halt. Unless a sports catted one would do the trick, opinions ? |
