What else do I need for my FBO build?
I picked up a 14 M235i as my new daily. (ZF8 +RWD)
I have Wagner catted DP, vsrf charge pipes, vsrf FMIC, GFP diverter upgrade, and hex tune. What else do I need? I feel like that should cover my bases. I'm fine with stock exhaust as I daily it and like to listen to music. I don't think intake would really gain me anything so it's a waste of money. (not worried about looks with a fancy carbon intake as this is just a daily and not a show car) I already have hex tune stage 2, but would I gain anything by also getting JB4? I'm just going to run 93 pump gas (since it's my daily) |

Meth could help I suppose- but then you’d need a controller and it’s kinda a pain.

Has anyone tried PR coils on an M235i yet?
Taskmaster I hope you try out the MILVs as you have done them on your 128i before and report back.

Intake adds some fun noises, sometimes it's a bit much. I've had the BMS intake and now the CTS intake. CTS has fixed some of the weird driveability issues, but they are very similar sounding and performing. I prefer the CTS's shielding a bit more.

I don't like any of the open intakes at all. I have seen a few dynos of the AFE Momentum, and it has some proven gains. |

I have the Injen intake. Installed alongside my Active Autowerke flash tune. Fun noises, no drivability issues. Can't speak on any gains (assuming minimal, likely none)

time to fix the positive camber with some lca's.
Upgrade the brakes to EBC yellow and slotted rotors, stainless steel lines. Upgrade the LPFP so you can run more e85? Upgrade to s55/n20 spark plugs gapped correctly. Lighter rims and better tires? all i can think of.

I wouldn't run E or meth, car is a daily and those just seem like headaches. The suspension on this car is probably what I want to address the most though. |

under 21 psi, or a regular flash tune gap to .18, any more gap to .22
reach out to Brian @ sun motors. They are 2 stage colder plugs. NGK.

So no one runs the precision raceworks upgraded coils? Not sure if the work on the m235i but could be a nice upgrade

Not going to add any power on a FBO flash car unless the stock coils are dying/dead.
