Turbosmart dual port BOVs.
AFE Magnum Force Stage 2 intake
PFS POD.
Index 12 injectors.
B58 coil upgrade.

I currently have a new pair of DAW Flow Max + turbos to be installed along with the required 2" inlets and a custom 2.75" to 3" exhaust system along with a LPFP upgrade which is also in the works.

For creature comforts;
Installed An Android head unit.

Thanks for the pic, to get the sound into the cabin do you have to open the partition door or can you leave it closed? I’ve got two small subs mounted on the rear panel where the factory subs are but I was wondering if a down firing sub box in the boot would give more bass. Have to agree on your car the wheels look better in black.

It’s an old pre 2012 E89..they never had M badges at that time..the later badges didn’t look like that either…
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
