Buddy of mine just bought one. Still under warranty (obv) and is there any way to keep it that way?

After seeing everyone’s numbers from Cinco de Dino they make great power with some mods… but where do you start and where do you stop?

What do they put down stock @ Innovative?

Thanks in advance.

Cobb makes a tune now… Looks like it has the best numbers and options. Id start with that and dci’s. There are a bunch of people with them on here. And they actually mod their cars.lol

Vishnu tunes (new ones) have the canbus option that can erase codes before bringing it in for service too

otherwise you need the BT cable to erase codes when you bring it in for service, and there’s no guarantee they wont find it.

Procede for tune (piggyback) or Cobb for Flash tune.  
Intakes (really dont do much)  
Downpipes (2-3 hours to take in and out… may not do this if your going to be hitting the dealer alot)  
FMIC  
Catback ( I like the stock exhaust with the flapper valve unplugged, but I am old)

Best money spent is on a tune, +80hp and tq. and can be removed in minutes for dealer visits.

Stock car will probably put down about 260-270 on mikes dyno.

My car with the following:  
Procede V4 Autotune  
UR DP’s  
ETS FMIC  
AFE Intakes  
Pump gas 93oct  
Stock Catback

the only tune that will not void warranty is Dinan.

^not really true. Dinan just warranties their tune. BMW can still void if their warranty.

Dinan says they will warranty it for you basically… good luck collecting on that one for a engine.

are there known cases of Dinan not covering it? most dinan tunes are done at BMW dealers so there is an expectation all will be covered unless additional non-dinan mods are added.

Downpipes FMIC and some sort of tune. Cobb is decent, but limited in the number of options when different mods come into play. I run same mods Jeller runs plus fully catless and Meth. Clutch couldn’t handle the torque, so there is more left on the table there (you can tell by the fact that mine made power really late, clutch was slipping under high boost at low rpms).

How do the AWD versions of these cars hold up to that power? I always hear not-so-good things about BMW x-drive systems.

Most guys are at the power that xander and I are at. So at this point the clutch is the weak point, for now the XI guys are doing fine.
