I have a mostly stock (charge pipe and JB4) '08 135i manual (42,000 miles). Just trying to learn what I can before I start mod'ing.

Awesome car! well before you start modding best practice is to just make sure everything is running as it should be first. you could get MHD and the monitoring license to get some logs and see how everything is running. first thing that you will want to change is the charge pipe though if you are running good and decide to turn up the boost. after that its pretty much intercooler and downpipe. it is a slippery slope though and before you know it your slipping a big turbo on it haha.

Or slipping trans or slipping clutch or slipping dollars from your wallet, but something is gonna slip !

Thanks!
I have a charge pipe (with Tial BOV). I bought some catless downpipes, fuel pump and an intercooler but I haven't installed yet.
