Hi F30Post,

Figured I'd make a quick little progress thread to share a basic build of the car.

2013 328i M-sport 6MT

When I first picked it up:




First mod, 3m ceramic tint (20% all around):



Full 1 step detail by hand:



Added an M-Style ABS plastic rear wing:




Did a 335i rear muffler conversion:



Found a great deal on OEM LCI tails and did the retrofit. OEM wiring harness from Germany took forever. I Also added Rolling Gears 3.5 exhaust tips:



Saw a local MG F30 rolling around with this piece, so I also added a rear roof spoiler. Matches the wing and is a small detail that makes it not seem like a standard car:



Ikon Motorsport M-Sport Style front lip two-tone test fit. I also picked up gloss black kidney grills along the way:



Current Performance Mods:
Modded Circuit works DP (cut downpipe to factory pipe 1" to fit into the stock exhaust to fit
Removed only OEM resonator with a straight pipe
Famous $200 G-Plus 5" Intercooler
OEM 513m M4 Wheels (18x9, 18x10)
OEM M3/M4 Brake Setup
BM3 stage 2 E30 tune

Exterior Mods
M Sport Style Gloss Black Kidney Grills
M Sport Style Gloss Black diffuser
M Sport Style low ABS Wing
ABS Rear Window Spoiler
30% 3m Crystalline Tint (seriously car is colder than regular tint)
Rolling Gears 3.5" Exhaust Tips

Interior Mods
OEM Rubber Sportline Mats w/matching Trunk liner
OEM BMW Door Pocket Umbrellas
OEM LCI HVAC LED retrofit
OEM BMW Sunshade
Rennline Magnetic Phone Mount (seriously THE BEST phone mount and should be OEM)
eBay Black Sunglass Holder (replaces drivers side roof handle)
LED Door light inserts

Other things are coming as they are shipped/when I upload photos

Haha almost, although stage 2 N20 surprises some of the n54/n55 guys with no muffler and burble tunes

Wait until you put the rest of your performance mods in.

man this thread is old and a lot has changed, but ill put photos and updates in there.

got lucky and was able to score some m4 brake calipers from a buddy. installed those with power slot 370mm rotors in the front and 345mm rotors in the back:

following week I put on the 513m wheels and this is the stance with factory suspension + m4 brakes installed. looks like the brakes and the wheel setup is ideal.

for stance + poke, this is the poke/fitment. not sure why bimmerpost is rotating images. sorry

[sqwinny]

swapped the front lip out for something a little more aggressive + KG splitters and the intercooler setup to an ATM 6" unit

[sqwinny]

for fun, wanted to see what the car made with the stock turbo and OTS Stage 2 93 tune:

280/307 on pump 93. not bad for stock turbo

mod list at the time of this dyno:

Bootmod3 Stage 2 93 OTS tune
aFE grill scoop
aFE Magnum Force Stage 2 Intake
FTP turbo inlet
Go Fast Bits DV+
FTP Turbo to Intercooler pipe
ATM Intercooler
FTP Charge Pipe
Cat-less downpipe
OEM mid-pipe (no cats on n20 variant) + removed resonator
335/340i Active Autowerks muffler

[sqwinny]

I ended up wanting more power, went The Turbo Engineers TTE400. Installed a b58tu retrofit kit as well.

Louder + fun + fast spool. Car sound even more like a cummins diesel at this point:

Did some changes as I wanted to increase intake flow + efficiency. Was able to pick up a set of BimmerMilvs and install them (gives 1mm of lift and 3 degrees more intake duration) Stock valvetronic support is in the middle. Material is removed from different areas of the support

[sqwinny]

Officially the first n20/n26 with a little modification to do the b58 coil retrofit. Modified the wiring to look OEM after the test fit.

Photo of the engine bay with cerakote charge + boost pipes and actually clean. OEM+ for those who don't know (removed the airbox and cover for the intake to show off the pipes)

Do you have a link to these B58 coil retrofit kits? I had the worst luck with another brands performance coils.
