First replacements, repairs, mods?
Recently bought a 2017 230i with 40k miles on it. It seems to run great but im completely new to owning a BMW, aside from just coming from a mini cooper. I know little to nothing about this F22 platform especially with the four cylinder motor. What are some recommendations on replacing parts that are prone to fail, or simply parts i could remove to make the car perform better and sound better? I live in South Florida so lot of heat coming towards this vehicles life. In advance, thanks for the help!

Congrats on the new car! Just picked up a 16 228i with similar miles. A good local BMW shop should be a first stop to check the basic wear items. These motors are pretty reliable.
There are some solid vendors that keep up with posts on the forums and are responsive to direct messages to them. They can make recommendations based on your needs going forward. Most ppl go for wheels and tires first. If you like, a suspension change at that time. Then the standard tune options that are out there from piggyback to flash options. The F22 platform is a solid one to build from for sure. Exhaust options are not plentiful, but if you want to add more power a higher performance intercooler and downpipe in conjunction with a tune will add power and sound. Enjoy your time on the forum doing research and def reach out to some of the vendors on here. Good luck and congrats! |
