Wrong forum. Sorry fellas.

Work out a plan for the proper forum.

You can see the 2 series forums are broken down between M2 and M240i/230i basically.

Looking for input on order of operations on making the changes. Based on dealer allocation, assuming a delivery in May in Ohio. Looking to stagger a blend of performance additions as well as cosmetic enhancements. Appreciate you all providing input on specific parts/supplier as well as order of making changes based on your personal experience.

Pre-buy before delivery of vehicle so changes can be made immediately:
Eventuri intake
Downpipe-- AA or Fi?? Planning an Fi exhaust down the road most likely. Curious if sound will be different on stock exhaust due to the Fi 200 Cell cat vs. the AA Gesi? Any comments on this?
Tre ID01 black gloss front splitter--thinking to keep front black gloss v carbon, then do carbon on rear--thoughts on this?
Tre Carbon fiber CS rear spoiler-see comment above on black gloss
Tre carbon fiber ID01 rear diffuser
PPF front and side skirts
Window tint
Turner Skid plate to protect oil cooler
LED projector for doors
Blacked out m240i badge

After break in period:
race chip gts black tune with app control
Possibly do the Fi cat back exhaust. Depends on how things sound with mods above. Not looking to announce my exit/arrival to the hood every day but not sure what intake/DP will produce with stock exhaust
Before winter hits in Ohio:
need a winter wheel/tire package that works with ZTX. Can someone provide what they are running?

Items I know are missing:
Lowering springs
Wheel spacers
Thoughts on if these should be done sooner with other immediate mods?

Again, looking for constructive feedback on timing and supplier type on the mods based on your experience.

Thanks everyone and excited to get behind the wheel of the 240 everyday.

Yeah, you are all over the place with this "plan". I would separate into categories and focus on the "proper" order.

I will add a few comments...you are buying a G42 M240, not a G87 M2 (you are in the wrong forum). The G42 does not have a breakin service like the G87 (G42 is not a true M car, its an "M Lite"...not that there is anything wrong with this, just saying)). Since the G42 has their initial breakin at 10k miles, I would forget the "breakin" focus. Get you first fluid change around 2k - 3k miles and then start the performance mods (as you will be tuning, I recommend future services at a non- BMW location.

First thing I would do upon delivery is paint correction, ppf, ceramic coating and tint. Then do the initial service and proceed with the performance mods (suspension & tune).

I personally would stick with manufacturers...if going all out, go with the Fi highflow catted downpipe and their catback system. You should do this simultaneously with the Eventuri intake and tune (recommend femto unlock and ecu tune). Depending on what stage you go, you will need other related mods.

The exterior cosmetics (cf additions) can be done at any time but consider the ceramic and ppf so I would do that early and simultaneously with that work.

If increasing hp/tq, consider a set of full forged rims and beefier meat in the back.
