1. Dual exhaust - in turn would I need a rear bumper as well? I’ve seen f30’s get a diffuser. Does that only apply to Msport vehicles?
Down pipe as well if it fits the budget. What about intake are people adding intakes or leaving stock?
2. Tune - I am a bit confused as to what motor I have! The car was sold as sulev and has the sticker under the hood. But when I do a vin decode I’m getting B46
3. coding - can I do this myself and what are the most common changes people make?

Sorry for so much questions I just didn’t know where else to post them. There’s more f30’s than f36’s. I felt comfortable asking them here with my gran coupe fam

1 Dual exhaust is doable many have done it, I believe that you can do a diffuser even on non-M Sports.
here in L.A. many people go to mod bargains dot COM.
you can call them and they will answer all your questions.

Picked mine up last month 2017 440 Msport white over black with blue stitching. I am still looking for the correct springs for her, she needs a drop desperately. If anyone has any info on springs please let me know. Thanks.

Great looking car! It looks much higher (gap from tire to fender) than my GC. I mean MUCH higher. Is there a possibility of shipping blocks still being in place?

I don't think so my car is Xdrive so that is why it sits higher. I have seen non xdrive that have a much better stance. This is why I need springs and some 19's

if it's a lease then save the money and do springs since your be returning it in 3 years and go with the Diana springs two of my boy are on Diana springs with no issues. If your finance it then do it RIGHT and do coil overs its the way to go.
here is mine on KW V1 Coil overs it drives the way a BMW should drive out of the factory. No rubbing no issues at all and the fitment is perfect, that's the beauty of coil overs you can adjust to the height to your desire with springs is one height there is no adjusting at all.

good luck

I love the way your car looks with coil overs. Everyplace I look for suspension doesn't list my car as being compatible. What size rims are those?

These are 19 BBS CI-R the set up is follow- front 19x8.5 et 35 225/40 rear 19x9.5 et 40 255/35 and mine is also a X-Drive. I did have to run 10mm spacers for the front to give it a flush look. KW do make a kit for your car. I'm in NJ and the coil overs are the best mod I've done to the car. Since your in NY and if you don't mind driving to NJ i wold give Auto Couture a call and speak with Alex or Matt, they will help you find a coil over kit for you car.

if you have any questions feel free to message me

Okay, who has the short cut method of resizing photos in bulk down to the kilobyte size this #+%^*#* forum allows? Via a Mac. Ugh. Can't possibly be the only one with that pain. Taken me a year to swallow some pride and just flat out ask this. Ha. Wow this thread is just awesome and it isn't stopping.
