Wink B48 2018 430i xdrive gran coupe tune/mods

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the car world but I've always admired bimmers. I was hoping people here could help me out. I currently have a stock 2018 bmw 430i xdrive gran coupe ~25k miles (no warranty). I'm looking into tunes and mods but given my lack of expertise, I have a few questions I was hoping to find answers for.

(1) What tunes do people recommend? I was looking into DME Stage 2 tune bc it bumps up the hp/tq to ~330/340.
(2a) With a tune, are there any car parts that I should replace to prevent future leaks/damages? (I know some parts are plastic on bimmers)
(2b) If yes to 2a, what parts should I be looking to change and how much should I budget for?
(3) How much faster would a tune make my 0-60 time? BMW states my 2018 430i is 5.6.

Thanks in advance for answering!

I recommend bm3 if you are interested in a flash tune, Jb4 if you want a piggyback. No additional mods required for a stage 1

I'm in the same boat as you. I'll be going the JB4 route.
