Hey I was wondering if it would be fine to do intercooler, charge pipe and catless dp all at the same time to save a little on labor or do I have to do them separately so the car can get used to the new parts?

P.s. meant to say FBO in title and I do plan on following all that up with an MHD tune

There's no getting used to new parts so not an issue. There's labor overlap with charge pipe and front mounted intercooler. Not really overlap with downpipe but you may be able to negotiate a lower price with an independent BMW garage if you do all at once. BimmerShops website will list ones in your area. Good luck

You're welcome. Remember to hit that appreciate button if something is helpful. Wife, kids and cat don't appreciate me so it's all I got left! HaHa!

I had the same question originally, but got all 3 of those installed yesterday at the advice of my tech. Along with flashing stage 2 BM3, I feel like I'm driving a new car! Go for it!

Considerably faster is an extreme understatement. Suddenly flipping on Stage2 is like jumping into a rocket ship.

It's also a bit strange at first being in the car. Light turns green and step on it until the car hits 60. Glance in the rear view mirror and the rest of the cars literally look like ants. Not kidding.

You should see my wife at a red light if she thinks someone next to her is giving her what she calls a "look". My wife says nothing but when I see her right hand slip down and flip into Sport mode. Then I just brace myself cause I know that we're gone when that light flashes green!

The car that I came across wasn't too fast off the line but once it got rolling it would just take off from any speed, I feel like it's more exciting to have that acceleration when you are already doing 60 or 80 What's your 0-60 time after going stage 2? Even the stock car isn't too slow off the line.

Don't know. Assume in the 4's. 0-60 seems like it's about having great tire grip and launch because that's where so much time would be lost. 60-90+ seems like it's almost instantaneous.
