Well, I got my ECU remapped and the hp/torque gain is pretty impressive on the B48 engine.

I got the shorter antenna as well that's all so far for cosmetics.

[COLOR="Red"]I'm on 17" wheels and considering putting some 18" but would this affect the acceleration?[/COLOR]

Also, I wanted to upgrade the head unit display but all I see on the market its China-made products which doubtfully any good quality?

I was considering sway bars are they worth it?

And also is there a way to put bigger brakes let's say from m2 on my 220i?

Let me know please!
[COLOR="Red"]Yes and not in a positive way. Upping wheel and tire size normally increase weight. The more unsprung rotational weight you have to turn, the more acceleration suffers. [/COLOR]

Thank you for you input USA-RET!

I'd probably just repaint my 17" wheels in glossy black to match the front grill color!

Since its just 220i (even chipped) Id hate to loose the acceleration or torque moments (I love drifting or cornering a bit in the Spain mountains)
