Z4 35i Mods

Kisan22 · 06-06-2016, 03:45 PM

Alright so this is my first post on here
I have a 2011 BMW z4 35i n54 DCT e89 I run 93 fuel haha everyone seems to care about what fuel bc of some tuning, anyways
My care is completely stock as of now
I have been doing a lot of reading on these forums
So I want to get a ECU Flash but what brand is the best for my car and n54 is it the jb4?
BOV?
Chargepipe?
Better breaks... but not a big break kit
Maybe exhaust

Front lip diffuser
Rear diffuser
maybe side skirt? no widebody tho
and I was wondering where can I find pre cut vinyl for the top to make it black just temporarily
I will post pictures of my car tmrw!

Based on your location. If you intend to "tune" your 1st mod should be a larger intercooler to keep IAT (intake air temperature) reasonable.

Okay will keep that in mind!
So my county has no emissions test and the highest I can find is fuel 93 octane
So i cannot do a Cobb Stage 1 tune/flash? With the stock intercooler?

You can run stage1. Suggest you read map notes on Cobb site. If you have an android phone look at MHD. Search the different forums and educate yourself. Then decide what you want to do and the best way to accomplish you goals be it Cobb, JB4, MHD, or custom tune.

try MHD flash, it is cheap and easy to do, here is a big thread about it: http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29236
i ran stage 1 w/ stock fmic and that alone was a very noticeable improvement, i upgraded fmic recently for stage 1+ and it was well worth it
