What to mod first...

UTenigma · 11-02-2012, 11:09 AM

Trying to decide what to do to my Jet Black 335 Sport first when it gets here

1. P3Cars gauge - $389 + $60 for pre-vent installed
2. JB4 N55 Stage 1 tune - $379
3. M performance brake kit - in Orange - $3000 give or take
4. Injen intake - assuming they make an version the fits the AT - $315
5. Black grill, black painted whiskers, black painted reflectors, Black key hole cover, Black Roundel - $325
6. Meisterschaft adjustable exhaust - $2647 + $498 (cat-back) watch the video, it's pure car porn
7. Evolution Racewerks catless downpipe - $495

What do you think? What should I do first? Anything else I should really consider? Anything I defiantly shouldn't do?

My vote is 5, 6 and 7! How long do you have to wait?

It finished production on 10/12, for two weeks after that it was in "Released to carrier awaiting transportation to the port of exit" - yesterday (11/1) the status switched to "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel - there is no shipping information available at this time"

I was really hoping it was going to get on the Asian Vision on 10/31 - maybe they've got a grander scheme in mind that'll get the car here before christmas

I like the idea of doing #5 and #1. The digital gauge is pretty cool and definitely something that gets noticed. Did you see the video review of the gauge?

I did, it looks really cool. I think if/when I put a catless downpipe, i'll get bungs put in for an additional o2 and egt sensor that I can feed to the P3's analog inputs and use the 3rd analog for a boost sensor after the piggy back tune obscures the actual boost pressure from the computer.

Interesting that both of you think blacking out the front is the first thing I should do - I figured I'd get flamed for wanting to do that

The front grills on the F30 3 series are really big, blacking them out tones down the amount of chrome on the front and being OEM BMW parts the fit is perfect.

It is a low cost mod that really changes the look of the car. If you don't like it I'm sure you can sell the grills to another F30Driver member easy.
