    Bro, so my 2013 528i is full bolt ons (FMIC: Wagner performance intercooler), MST charge pipe, boost pipe, VRSF catless down pipe, straight pipe w/ a Vibrant straight thru resonator, aluminum inlets/outlets, MST cold air intake, MST turbo inlet pipe, Turbosmart BO valve, Eldor coil packs, NGK 2 step cold spark plugs and genuine BMW index 12 fuel injectors. Had my car dyno'd 2 weeks ago it it came out to 365 hp to the wheels. I totally agree with you that when adding any type of aftermarket tunes w/o taking care of and be vigilant of the necessary maintenance, especially if you want to run that much boost. I found out the hard way prior to adding all of my upgrades, I foolishly tuned my car w/ a BM3 stage 1 and xHP stage 2. Let me tell ya, It didn't last one night!!! On that night, I attempted to do a 5k-6k pull and fried my stock spark plugs, coil packs and even messed up my ECU. I had to wait over 2 mos for a new stock ECU before making my upgrades. Now, my car run crazy quick/fast for an N20. 365hp to the wheels & 355 pounds of torque w/ a BM3 Stage 2+ E30 MAP and an xHP stage 3 trans flash WITHOUT any significant issues. This is an example that it can be done. You'll just have to do it the right way every step of the way...

    • @ConnorLee
      @ConnorLee  3 года назад +1

      Wow man, Im sorry for the headaches you endured with all that but yeah definitely highlights why you cant necessarily just toss on every bolt on with a fat tune and expect the stock internals to last. Good stuff though man, live and learn and keep turning that wrench

      @@ConnorLee thanks for the support man. I seriously trip out on all the so called “experts” who say that the n20 can’t do this or can’t do that as I keep proving them wrong with this build. Currently, I think that I’m pretty closed to being maxed out but I do have one more mod before callin it a day. And that is a BMW n20 MHI TD04 20T Big Turbo kit. As of now, I’m 365 to the wheels and with this kit, I can’t wait to see what the numbers will be. I’ll keep ya posted. If you wanna see the n20 build, you can follow me on IG @lilbambam2013 btw, I also have a pretty cool 2011 335is n54 build as well. Regards 🙌🏼

    Nice car man! I have a 2013 328i as well , it’s stock , just passed 100k mi. What kinda price range am I looking at for suspension (coil overs or springs?) bags seem pretty pricey. Also for an exhaust and intake? Super clean ride man. Take it easy.

    • @f3xmo
      @f3xmo 2 года назад +1

      coilovers will run u around 700+ me personally I would go with BC BR series coils there great and around a price of $1110. If you're on a budget H&R Sport or Super sport springs are good and around 200-350. The supersports will drop the car more than the sports itself.
