just purchased a 2013 BMW 335i xdrive
Hello fellow BMW enthusiasts.
I just purchased a used 2013 BMW 335i xdrive with 130k kms on it. So far the car has worked well for me and I have done some modifications including: -new VSRF chargepipe - k&n air filter (oem housing) - NPBoost 1 step colder sparks and new ignition coils. -MHD stage 2 tune running 93octane. -new oil. I wanted to ask what things I should immediately replace as far as preventative maintenance in concerned? |

MHD actually only requires IC for stage 2. stage 2+ on MHD requires both IC and DP. This differs from BM3 since MHD rates their "stages" differently, and MHD stage 2+ is really equal to BM3 stage 2.

Check for oil leaks at front OFHG, back of valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket. Get a service history on the VIN from a BMW dealer, check glove box for receipts and any maintenance history on carfax |

thanks guys! much appreciated. and thanks for the trans oil recommendations.
regarding mhd stage 2 tune. i reached out to MHD a few months back, they said that running a stage 2 tune in my part of the world (ontario during winter) was acceptable for now untill summer arrives. also a catless downpipe wasnt critically necessary as far as exhaust burble is set to soft and duration less than 0.8 seconds. check out the tune if you live in colder climates. also, i cant emphasize letting the car warm up to operating temp (90c-120c) before pushing it. |
