I'm planning to install upgraded rod bolts pretty soon maybe this November so I can push 350whp safely. In terms of tuning and power capabilities id go with the m235i honestly but I mean you can still do the same with the n20 but you just gotta waist a tad bit more lol
I like that you have the option of coding the cold start out with BM3 like if it was too loud. Yeah upgraded rods are a good idea for sure! I've been over on the 3 series forum a good bit since there's more N20 owners. It's really cool the types of power you can push your engine to. Yeah there's people over there getting 300hp to the wheels! I probably will go the M235i route if I can find one for a good price. I think I would be better off on resale value and reliability. Or I might just get the catless downpipe and BM3 Stage 2 and a muffler delete. I think I'd be happy with that. That's not too much money maybe about $800 and $300 in labor.
Yeah same lol I don't take off the cold start tho lol. it may be loud but still like it and yeah I would definitely get a m235i it's a great car plus they sound nice in my opinion
