@@FritzRamos That video was the first of your videos that I watched - a few days before I bought my 2016 M235i convertible! I really appreciate your videos - thank you for doing this.
Dope video! Unfortunately I spent more than $1,000 on mods, for my 16 m235i. I just kept going for more power lol. I think the last thing I’m doing to it, is just an upgraded HPFP
Calling bs on the filter substituting the cold air intake. Cold air only adds 5hp max anyways but a filter isn’t helping cold air get in there and it does serve a purpose.
With the 235i most of the intake air cooling is coming from the intercooler anyways. You're not getting as much from a CAI as you would on a naturally aspirated car. For the a FI vehicle you'd be better off with a better intercooler and/or misting system..
Hi love your videos, great job. I have an OG M2 FBO ready to tuned up with BM3, I saw you are running stage 2 AZN 91 map in the video, how do you feel about it after flashing? Any knocks or pulling time issue? I’m live in CA with shitty gas too. Thanks
Can I install a down pipe with the stock Inter cooler?? There’s any way to install a down pipe without an error code?? I have a 2015 335 with a air intake charge and boost pipe and a jb+
You don't need to change the intercooler when doing the charge pipe. A catless downpipe will always trigger a code you need to get the spacer or code out the o2 sensor.
Hey Fritz! Quick question for you, i definitely want to invest in a downpipe, however, I am very concerned about the intense gas smell that most people who have had a downpipe installed report. This car is my daily driver and I can't have it reeking all the time when I'm driving my friends/family around, so is there a specific type of downpipe that won't have that or any other remedies you know of? Thanks so much man, love all your content!
I went with the N55 catless downpipe from VRSF, pretty solid weight reduction for whats its worth, id say at least 15lbs less than the stock catted. Sounds great and noticeably increased the power/torque with MHD stage 2. Regarding the gas smell, its definitely noticeable from behind the car while in sport mode, same goes for standing near the hood. If you have your windows up with no A/C after driving it a bit hard, you'll probably notice the scent but it's not exactly strong, with the windows up and A/C on you can't smell it at all in my experience. Do with that what you will. The scent gets stronger depending on how rich your motor is running as well, including burble tunes. I have no burble in comfort mode rn and driving normally I never notice it, A/C or not, only smell it at lights once I throw it in sport(+) and start ripping it a bit.
My 650 wheel has these VRSF catless dp Akrapovic exhaust Turbo inlet pipe Charge pipe Turbo elbow pipe Intake Intercooler Oil cooler Radiator Pistons spark plugs Connecting rods Oil catch can Blow off valve Flex it fuel it Upgraded injectors Hpfp Lpfp Bigger turbos Custom stage 2.7 tune XHP stage 3 trans tune Ooh and I also have the air scoop for extra 90 hp
For newer cars they don't put the sensor in the tailpipe, they just read the computer. Since it's coded out it might not trigger anything. Worst case scenario, just put back in the stock one
@@FritzRamos Have you had to smog yet? Is it just a matter of remapping BM3 to the stock mapping before going in to smog, then switching back to your tuned map afterwards?
@@DonovanColbert Whether you have a CEL fix for the O2 sensors or not, the car will not pass O2 readiness check when scanned. Changing the map won't have any effect either because you're still running the DP. Your options: 1. If you haven't already installed the DP, get your car inspected/registered (whether it's near the expiration or not) and then install the DP, you will have a full year of not having to worry about it. 2. If you have the DP installed, you'd have to swap the catted DP back onto the car, get inspected, then swap the catless DP back. 3. If you have the DP installed, you'd find a guy who does inspections, tell him the situation, and offer an 'incentive' $. I may know someone who has done #3 for the past 3 years on 2 different cars and he or she would tell you that it is the easiest option, but highly illegal. I am not responsible for what you choose to do, just letting you know what I know.
@@kylesmith9048 Thanks for the response. I'm in Arizona - so things are not as strict here as in California. Back in the 80's in California I had a Datsun 510 with a 240z 5 speed and a Weber carb - and I had to swap out the stock carb every year (or maybe two, back then)... to get it to pass. Even then, the techs constantly complained because it had an L18 engine instead of a stock engine and a 240z tranny. I bought a M235i from a dealer here with an aftermarket intake and exhaust... but nothing like straight downpipes - but it passes smog fine. We have a law here that you have 1 week after purchase to get a dealer bought car smogged and if it doesn't pass, you can nullify the deal or the dealer has to fix the problems.
I have been using Non Ethanol gas octane is said to be 89. With non ethanol gas the octane levels are somewhat misleading and likely several points higher. Does anyone know which BootMod tune is best for the non ethanol?
Hey I tuned my 335i and when driving in 3rd gear and up when I give like 30% throttle it bugs down and feels like something is holding back. Do you have any suggestions on what that might be? The mods I have is cold air intake, charge pipe and a catless downpipe. I’m over 100k miles. I changed my spark plugs and still nothing. I had to tune back to stock tune cuz of that. If anyone can help thanks !
Yes I did and in stock it’s fine but as soon I go to stage 1 it happens again. I changed spark plugs and still have the issue. Do you have any suggestions on what that might be? I can send you my logs if you want
I think the bigger point on a catted vs. catless downpipe is if your in a smog state, and the smell. Also, if you wanna pop flames, go catless.
Great video! Please make one about the first $1000 you should spend. As a new m235i owner im looking for all the info i can get! Cheers from Australia
Will do!
Finally got around to making the video. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/OPY0-u0lBm4/видео.html

Oooooook!!! You're going for that max power title! Do you also notice that when you say this is the last mod it never is? 😅
@@FritzRamos lol yes! I’m like spongebob...I NEED IT!! Lol and it’s an addition that I have to stop, if you have an Instagram I’ll follow you!
@@jonathanburnett9429 I hear you on that lol. Sound good man, @vroomtuber
Make sure u guys upgrade the charge pipe. They blow up even in stock power.
Agreed, that should be one of the first things on the to do list
Just what I did, although I went with chatted do since I have to go through air pollution test every year.
Makes sense, but EVERY YEAR! that must be a hassle. Hope you are enjoying it
Nice tip on the intake scoop. That’ll be my next one.
Do you really believe ram air effect happens on an intercooled turbo engine??
Can I add the scoop to my 435i if I have a Dinan CF intake?
how much HP/ TQ are you making now Fritz?

@@jhgolden95 💯
VRSF seems to no longer make their aluminum boost pipe for these cars
K&N Filter vs aFe Dry Filter? I’m leaning towards K&N. Which do you recommend for quality and performance?
Both are good. It really depends on if you want an oil or dry filter. I don't thing K&N does a dry filter, that's why I went with aFe.
#UNDERRATED like ur vids bro! Keep at it
Appreciate it! Will do
Thanks for video. Can you stop driving with left hand only at 7 o'clock position. It makes me nervous as you won't be able to react in an emergency

do you need a better intercooler for a stage 2 tune, did you get a new intercooler? also how is the mpg affected in stage 2 ?
I would recommend it. Especially since you are going to upgrade the charge pipe, it's right there.
Downpipe won't be 250 for me. As no one either has or makes 1 for the 2015 x3. So my only option is a fabricated 1.
Can I install a down pipe with the stock Inter cooler?? There’s any way to install a down pipe without an error code?? I have a 2015 335 with a air intake charge and boost pipe and a jb+

Ooh and I also have the air scoop for extra 90 hp
And now you're at the slightly higher $$ mods. LSD and HPFP + meth kit.
That LSD! 😍Don't tempt me lol
Wonder what’s your game plan when it comes to passing smog?
For newer cars they don't put the sensor in the tailpipe, they just read the computer. Since it's coded out it might not trigger anything. Worst case scenario, just put back in the stock one

Hey I just got mine this month but I really wanna put widbody what’s the best kit and everything plz guys
Nice. Are you planning on lowering it?
I have been using Non Ethanol gas octane is said to be 89. With non ethanol gas the octane levels are somewhat misleading and likely several points higher. Does anyone know which BootMod tune is best for the non ethanol?
What state are you in?
I love yours vids bro but help me out with the widbody kit bro
THanks man. I'll get back to you on the wide body
How do u pass Smug with catless downpipe ?
I'll let you know in a year lol
Hey I tuned my 335i and when driving in 3rd gear and up when I give like 30% throttle it bugs down and feels like something is holding back. Do you have any suggestions on what that might be? The mods I have is cold air intake, charge pipe and a catless downpipe. I’m over 100k miles. I changed my spark plugs and still nothing. I had to tune back to stock tune cuz of that. If anyone can help thanks !
That sounds strange. Have you tried reflashing it since you went back to stock?
Yes I did and in stock it’s fine but as soon I go to stage 1 it happens again. I changed spark plugs and still have the issue. Do you have any suggestions on what that might be? I can send you my logs if you want
Could be a coil pack. Also are your plugs gapped correctly?
is that a throttle controller on ur gauge?
Does the bootmode clear the downpipes check engine light?
Yes it does!
what mods u need for staage2
For bm3 u need to be FBO
I would say charge pipe, upgraded air filter, and down pipe at least.
R u indonesian?
No. I've never gotten that before lol
I tried both MHD is a better platform hands down.
Unfortunately they dont cover as many engines as BM3 does.
For N20 you dont get MHD tune😊
