Another "help me chose" thread

Hi all.

Sorry to fill the forum with another "help me chose" thread but I always find these fun and entertaining so figured I would get your input on my next mod.

To start, here's some background on my car:
2013 328i xdrive, 64k miles, mineral grey, running well currently. Came with xenons, no nav
19" VMR 810 with continental extremecontact dws06 tires
H&R sport springs
Selma M-sport body kit
Black kidney grill
JB4 running map 2
ER catless downpipe
M-sport steering wheel with paddle shifters

With regards to potential mods:
- I am looking to spend somewhere around $1500-2000 for parts
- The mods mentioned below are all things I plan to do at some point
- I am looking for everyone's opinion on what would make the most sense next. I have no major preference.

Here are the potential mods:
1. ER intercooler, charge pipe, and injen intake
2. Remus catback quad exhaust
3. BMW m-performance brakes
4. Retrofit navigation/6WA
5. Sport seats OR drivers side M3 seat
6. Carbon fiber front lip, side extensions, and rear diffuser

Let me know what you guys think!! Appreciate the input

I would go with brakes or seats. Sounds like a sweet set up so far.

Sport seats or cat back exhaust.

Don't retrofit nav. Not worth the hassel

My input below but overall, I'd say 3 over the rest as it'll allow you to utilize the power properly (by giving you better stopping power )
  1. ER intercooler, charge pipe, and injen intake
    - Unless you track your car, no point of doing this (maybe except the intake)
  2. Remus catback quad exhaust
    - If you want more power out of your JB4 - go with this but you won't gain that much with the money you'll spend here
  3. BMW m-performance brakes
    - If you want to be able to be more agile in your car (I'd go with this with your existing mods)
  4. Retrofit navigation/6WA
    - Not worth the effort/cost in doing this. Use your phone for navigation.
  5. Sport seats OR drivers side M3 seat
    - M3 seat would be cool but keep your existing seats unless they're brutally uncomfortable for some reason
  6. Carbon fiber front lip, side extensions, and rear diffuser
    - This should probably be one of the last things you do in this list

The charge pipe is something you should consider. People blow the stock charge pipe on occasions even without mods. With the jb4 running I would upgrade the charge pipe just for peace of mind
