Hey guys, first thread for me on here but just a little background. I bought a 2012 335i about 2 months ago and I absolutely love everything about it. I am coming from a 05 Audi S4 which was a blast but this thing is on another level. But, I am ready to pull some more power. I know I am getting the JB4 but want to get one more thing. Trying to keep it under $1,000 (for now

) and I will be ordering more stuff in the future but the car only has 22k miles so I need to keep it easy for now.

Basically, what do you guys think I should go with other than the JB4 to keep it under $1,000ish?
Looking at a chargepipe but not sure what kind of power that has or which one to get. Anything you post, if you would not mind posting a link (if you are allowed) I would greatly appreciate it!

I went jb4 and downpipe for under that limit. I'm hoping to get the downpipe on this weekend, but currently have the jb4 on.

What downpipe did you go with? I am looking at the VRSF but don't know what to go with. Also, if I go with a catless-DP, can I pass emissions with the JB4?

I went with JB4 and ER catless DP for well under $1k. You can find great deals in the classifieds section!

I got a deal from Mike on jb4 with ER catless dp. As for emissons I can't say as i live in the Midwest and that doesn't matter for us.

In Ohio it matters unfortunately....

+1 thats the way I would recommend going..

JB4, ER Downpipes and the BMS Intake should get you in and around that number. Charge pipe should be next on the list.

i have a brand new Challenge HFC DP for sale, $500. only been taken out of the box and put back in.

Hayes21890 · 08-18-2015, 07:57 AM

I got my tune in this weekend and put it on yesterday. Absolutely love it. Ran it on Map 5 for a little bit (10 miles) and it pulls so hard. What map do you guys recommend for someone with just intake and JB4? I do have access to E85 that I would like to run in the future just for fun one weekend, which map would be the best for that?

Will be looking for more parts in the near future but my biggest thing is I have to have it pass inspection. I have had a hassel in the past trying to deal with mechanics passing it and it is too much headache for me.

Buckeyes · 08-18-2015, 08:43 AM

You won't pass emissions with a DP.

That's what I am learning, unfortunately.

I made the same jump a few years ago after owning multiple B6 S4's, Got sick of the maintenance and disappointed after all the go fast parts i dumped into it didn't make much power. Hell of a daily driver and i miss the sound of my straight pipped v8...

That being said, the f30 335i is a beast compared to it... I went AFE 5R intake, JB4 with FF wires and catless ER DP... Loving Map 2!

Just do the DP, the install isn't bad, just swap it out before inspection

Map1 or Map5 if you don't have downpipes.

Yeah I loved the sound of the V8 also. I hit a deer on my way to the airport for my honeymoon and it totaled the thing haha. Oh well, we weren't hurt so I am glad for that.
How difficult is it to intall/uninstall the DP?

What boost level is Map 1 vs Map 2 anyone know?

auf Deutsch · 09-16-2015, 04:28 PM

I'd get a charge pipe ASAP. Stock pipes have failed running stock boost which is ridiculous.

Ya, we ship out 1-2 overnight every week due to customers being stranded with a failed charge pipe.

The BMW DME targets load not boost. Depending on barometric pressure, inlet temperatures, and some other factors, boost can range from 7-10psi for the same normal load target. On top of that the DME will vary its load target based on barometric pressure to make up for pumping losses, trying to keep power level across a wide range of conditions.
