Hello all! New to the M235 need advise
Hello everyone. I recently got a 2016 convertible M235 and I am starting to mod my car and I need some help/advise. I wanted to do a cat back but I was told because it is a convertible my options are limited and so I ended up with a remus axleback. Anyway my next mods that I would like are a dinan CAI and either a stage 1 or 2. possibly dinan intercooler. I am planning on buying these parts used from other members and so my question is will these parts fit my car with it being a convertible? I read the cold air intake needs to be "modified" in order to be installed on the convertible. I also read something about if installing a used dinan CAI there is a part (that I don't know the name of at the moment) that needs to be bought as well. Any advise will help, especially from other convertible owners with these mods on their cars. Thanks!

IC will not fit. CAI read the instructions on Dinan's site to see necessary bracket mod w photos.

Head to realoem.com and compare part numbers for coupe and convertible. If the parts are the same, they should be interchangeable. I have a convertible and plan to go cat back down the line as I found the exhaust parts are the same with the exception of one piece.

I fitted an AFE CAI to my 2015 235 vert without any issue, but you have to do the research and pick the correct unit. I do not remember the model I chose but it is the one enclosed in a box, not an open filter.
I'm not sure if the convertible will allow the Dinan IC to fit, seems like I read something about that. I fitted a Wagner unit. I am curious about the exhaust being different though. I plan to fit an MPE unit. |
