Mods for a 2009 335i coupe w/auto

I'm considering the following mods:

-aFe intake
-turbo tuner 2
-BMW performance suspension
-BMW performance exhaust
-Michelin PS2s
-Forge intercooler

Anyone with a similar or identical set up feel free to let share your opinion on the pros/cons.

Thanks.

More or less, everything you listed is fine. Except for the turbo tune, you may want to spend a few more dollars for a proper "tune" unit. Whether it be: JB+, Vishnu Procede, or Cobb, they're easy to install. Just watch and follow the installation YouTube video clips to how it's done.

If you go BMW Performance items, this will help you when it comes to "not" voiding any related system components when you roll up to the dealership. They will raise eye brows if you have related problem with an aftermarket component other than their own. It may come down to your relationship with your SA or shop foreman.

Majority of the intercoolers on the market will be fine. Here too you cannot go wrong with AMS, ETS, Helix, STETT, Forge, Spearco, and AE. I have ETS model. Best one, Big Tom's.

AFE makes a good intake. Here you an also decide on: Injen, Vishnu, make your own Mr. 5's type, and BMS

One thing I would add to your mix is upgrading your Diverter Valves (DV) or incorporates a true Blow off Valve (BOV) and charge pipe units. Adding a tuner and aftermarket intake promotes more air pressure to the engine’s system. OEM DVs are known to be on the weak side. Beefing up this system is a plus.

I would research each manufacture and find out there policies and customer support systems. Each manufactures may have components or installation methods that you do not want to be done to your car. (for example, some of the intercoolers require some cutting of the support structure or surrounding plastic materials.) Just be fully aware of modification you're planning to do.

This is just my .02 cents on the subject.

As far auto 335i goes, I can testify JB4 is the best bang for your buck!
