Add me to the list of curious. Intake, downpipes, and a tune are things I would be very interested in for the M50i. For me, it would be nice to get:

-- An intake solution that allows us to hear the turbos spool and obviously add a little power. With a similar platform on many BMWs, this seems like it would not be a huge project.

-- Downpipes are such a nice mod for turbo guys. I think there would be a very interested crowd.

-- Tune. I think I am over the piggy days. I would much rather use a flash tune that uses the sport, eco, comfort modes to toggle. I have seen some vague posts on a few tunes, but they lack before and after dynos to document power gains across the rpm range. It appears they are just randomly posting % gains then applying that to the crank numbers BMW provides. That is sketch. We really need some dynos and documentation to evaluate what is being presented.
