Mods wish list

[poloka]

Okay members, I know we all have our tastes but I'm not deeply intrenched with some of the knowledge you all have so wanted to get your opinions. My wish list for mods is:

1. Exhaust - Eisenmann race axel back. I've kicked this one around or the Dinan with black tips. Really need to meet up with some local to hear the difference.
2. Springs - Unsure of what's out there
3. Vossen VSF1 Wheels [2] (245x35R20 front, 285x30R20 rear). Opted for 20's rather than 21" because this car is my DD. But still like to have fun with it just don't want to rattle the teeth out of my 4 yr old son. :-)
4. Dinan Intercoolers and Stage2 chip
5. Control arms, ball joints rather than the existing rubber

And what order would you complete? Any other tweaks to your cars that you feel are a must?

Just looking to make the 650 my own.

Color matched reflectors are a must!

1) Exhaust: I would recommend the Meisterschaft. It has much more presence than the Eisenmann exhaust system (on the 650i at least).

2) Springs: H&R or Eibach are the two top choices in terms of springs. I would say H&R is a bit more bouncy but has a more aggressive drop, whereas Eibach has a more OEM feel with a less aggressive drop.

The last thing I would say is wrap it your favorite color! Then it'll truly be all your own

Dinan tunes aren't chips. They remap your ECU and the results seem sketchy, based on the evidence posted on the forums. You may want to consider BMS. Less expensive, proven results, easily reversible and doesn't require a reinstall after a factory update.

You didn't mention if you have the N63 or N63Tu. If the latter, you can crank the boost with the exhaust and intercooler upgrades.

Sorry, have a 2015 650xi so the n63tu. Thanks for the clarification on the tune.

I had eibach pro kit on my 2011 Mustang and really liked them. Didn't think about them for BMW.
