Just picked up a 2016 F20 M135i with the N55 engine. Want to mod it but keep it as a reliable daily. What are the best mods that wont sacrifice reliability?

Thinking about:

  • Stage 1 remap
  • Intake
  • Maybe a catback exhaust for sound

Anything else worth doing? Budget is around 1500 EUR total.

    M135i is a great platform. Stage 1 + intake + catback is the perfect combo for a fun daily. Dont forget a TCU tune if you have the auto - makes a huge difference.

    skip the intake on N55, its not worth it for stage 1. put that money towards an intercooler instead. the stock intake is fine up to about 400hp
