What's up guys this is my first post I recently bought a 2015 Alpine White M235 xdrive. I am coming from a 2013 Scion FRS and it's a huge difference. I have $2,000 to spend on mods and I can't decide what to do first. I was looking at an BMS intake and a JB4 tune but I'm new with tunes and don't want to ruin a brand new car. I was looking at the Remus catback exhaust for $1,800 and than maybe painted front reflectors for around $100. I'm holding off on wheels since winters coming and I live in New York where the roads are terrible and salty. Any ideas guys on what to do first?

Tune $600, downpipe $250, chargepipe$300, BMS intake $230, IND painted reflectors $80, MPerf Exhaust $740.

$2200. If $2000 is hard requirement skip chargepipe for now.

assumption is he's doing all the work?

My main concern is CEL. I've been trying to stay away from a charge pipe and downpipe.

Right. So no downpipe and charge pipe will cover labor.

JB4 will auto clear CEL along with other codes.

I'll probably end up with a JB4 Tune and Intake to start I just don't know much about tunes so i guess stage 1 would be fine and can any shop install a tune or do they have to have a dyno? I just don't want to run into problems down the road with a 50k car which is also why I won't be doing any installing myself compared to with my FRS which i did everything myself.

Tune - Jb4
DP - ER
Cp - ER
FMIC - ER
Intake - Afe or BMS

Tune and DP would be the Best start IMO. You will come in under1k and this will be your best performance bang for your buck since your going JB4 vs dinan. Exhaust would be next but you can blow your whole wad on an exhaust setup, depending on choice, for minimal performance gains but great sound gains.

Mike put together a great list and can hook you up.
