-- 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.
Absolutely agree with you
I'll be happy with intakes and DP to hear the turbos and a deeper growl.
I think the car has more than enough power for me especially for my commute, just some sounds would be nice lol
