2018 240i mods suggestions

HD28 · 03-15-2020, 03:33 AM

I recently purchased a 2018 240i, and I'm looking into adding some upgrades for horsepower. I don't have any experience with tuning/modding a car whatsoever and was just putting a feeler out there to see what avenue to take. The car is a 6 speed MT completely stock with 19k miles and has a 40k mile warranty. Any help would be appreciated.

Any performance mod may well invalidate your warranty so think carefully.
If you're not looking at track racing is the 240 not powerful enough?

Improving handling might up the fun
factor more than increasing the
already adequate power.
Consider top notch summer street
tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
if you don’t already have them, the
BMW LSD differential, and the front
LCA mod for a little extra negative
camber in the front. Can do all this
and keep your warranty intact.

Agree! Tires and the M2 LCA swap (assuming you have RWD) would be very high on my list for more fun in daily driving.

We offer a combo deal for bootmod3 + intake + downpipes. Thats pretty much all the power mods you will ever need for a daily driver

LSD, better tyres and front camber increase all before added horsepower. Car already has enough power to spin the tyres in 1, 2 and 3 gear

BM3 is a must
