'14 435i Build
I just picked this beaut up a couple weekends back. Not planning too much to do to it other than FBO mods and a couple exterior tweaks.
Last weekend, I installed a JB4 unit, hardwired my V1, and slapped some black kidney grilles on. The JB4 install was straight-forward. I just followed along with a video by Kies Motorsports on Youtube. It took me roughly 30-45 minutes to do it. I opted for that Bluetooth connector, and I'm a fan so far. Haven't really done anything else to the performance, so can't be expecting the world, but I'm hoping it'll make the most of my bolt-ons (when installed). Hardwiring my V1 was pretty easy due to the MirrorTap product that made it possible to use a BlendMount rear view mirror mount and tap the power from the compass in the rearview. Really easy and I highly recommend over having it posted up on the windshield. The picture of the wires is a picture I found of someone on the forum's installation. It took all the guess work/ voltmeter hunting out of it. Honestly, those kidney grilles were damn hard just because I have some meaty hands and couldn't slide them in those gaps too easily, but regardless, it should have been easier. 100% worth it though. I ordered an Injen intake from **********s about 2-3 weeks ago. Needless to say, it's worth it 95% of the time to order from the manufacture... I received my Injen intake yesterday, and had it installed in about an 1hr 15. The instructions were subpar to say the least, and I had to make a couple on-the-fly modifications. ** I had to take off a plastic panel in the engine bay (far right corner) that looks to had been protecting some electrical cords. Anybody know if it's important to get that covered back up? I just took it off in the meantime.** Now, I have VRSF catless DPs, FMIC, and charge pipe delivered in under a week from Mike at xPH (xPH is in that remaining 5% of the time). Great service, offered a combo deal for these parts that really hit all my other wants for now. Can't wait to get these installed. I'll post an update in a couple weeks after I install those parts. Also, in the market for some new wheels, but not entirely sold on any one yet. Not trying to go entirely blacked out, but I could do with some black in the rims. Feel free to shoot suggestions. |

Congrats, fun car! Once you got the power done remember to get an M LSD to help get all that power to the ground, plus improve handling in the twisties. Drive it like you stole it

Alas, do not think there was an option on a sheet for it. You need to buy it and have it added (around $2.2k installed). Stock cars have an open diff.
