What next?

I have just finished my installation of the JB4 tune and looking at several mods but have no idea of what order to go in. I could really use some help on how to boost horsepower in an orderly fashion.
Thanks.

Catless Downpipe.

Then do a FMIC and your chargepipe at the same time.

I am going BM3 being if both are equal -- I choose the Mac platform.

Plus, I purchased my VRSF CP and 5 HD intercooler from X-HP.com and the were GREAT! and know what they are doing ~ they sell BM3.

Have heard really good things about MHD.

What do you suggest would be a good combination for FMIC and charge pipe? Also, what's the best you can do price-wise on those combinations?

I'm not allowed to discuss pricing on this section of the forum, I'll send you a message with the different options.

Nope prefer the conservative nature of MHD, and after talking to 2 different BMW service managers locally, one I can do and not have to worry about CPO.

I second this. The stock charge pipe has been known to crack under factory boost, let alone any added power. Charge pipe first!
