Hi everyone,

Back in January 2018, I decided to get this 2014 435i xDrive. From the start, I had a ton of plans for the car and to make it the ultimate daily driver. This is the first car that I have decided to modify and I am extremely happy with the result, and now I am here to share it.

Do you think there is more power to be extracted from the car?
Or do you think it's at it's limit with the PS2 and upgraded hpfp?

I am xdrive as well, and toying with the idea of PS2 and xdi-35. I will be using pump gas (91 octane).

I was thinking it would be around 520hp at the wheels though.

This is an awesome build!

How are you liking the KW DDC? Any positives and negatives would be appreciated. I'm x-drive and with EDC so I've been looking at a plug and play solution to keep the EDC functionality. Thanks!!

On the RON98(Europe) Fuel, this is what this setup seems to max out. I would have gone for RON102 if it was something that was sold locally, that should put the car at 500whp+

I absolutely love the KW DDC coilovers, It has been one of my most recent mods but I regret not putting it higher on my list. You can feel a clear difference between comfort/sport when changing modes and the handling of the car compared to stock has been increased significantly. I can now properly feel the road in sport and sport+ and even in comfort, it is still fairly comfortable. I have not configured the coilovers too "low" because of the ridiculous speed bumps around my area but they can go even lower!

I just got my Eventuri intake installed yesterday, totally in love with the sound and the looks!

Are the KW DDC dampers the plug and play version that interfaces with the car if the car came with the M adaptive suspesion or are they the ones for cars without?

Yes, these are the direct plug and play version that works directly with the car's driving modes from M adaptive suspension, I think there is a version that works with an app as well.
