So this weekend I will be making a purchase on the first wave of performance mods for my M235i. I am stuck though because I don't know which parts are the most important to go for first. Essentially I have a budget and cannot buy everything at once. I will be buying through Extreme Powerhouse since they are having their March Madness Sale. I need some advice on what to buy first. I will list all the mods I am looking at and I would like some feedback on what I should get first, what is most important to least important, etc... That would be greatly appreciated! Mod list is as follows... (I cannot buy all these mods right now so tell me which ones are essential for now)

1. ER Competition Series FMIC
2. ER Performance Charge Pipe
3. ER Competition Down Pipe (Catless)
4. BMS Cold Air Intake
5. JB4 Tune
6. I will also be getting my exhaust customized by my local exhaust mod shop to save some $ instead of buying aftermarket

People will argue about FMIC all day...

With that said I'd do JB4 and chargepipe together, then downpipe and intake, then FMIC if you feel it's necessary.

Best HP bang for buck IMO would be the JB4 and catless downpipe first.

JB4
Downpipes
FMIC
Charge Pipe
Intake

This is the list that you should follow in my opinion. That being said Evolution Racewerks ( and their dealers) have a march madness sale with 25% discount on FMIC and downpipes ( Ends April 23rd)
In this case, i recommend you take advantage of the sale and grab the Downpipe and intercooler first.
