Hey there, welcome! I used a lot in my post without realizing, let me help.
DISA: 3-stage intake manifold. It uses DISA valves and that's about as much as I know about it haha.
PE: Performance exhaust from BMW.
SS: SuperSprint; company that makes really good headers.
Evolve: company that makes a really good tune.
All of them = fun.

Sorry but I'm pretty ignorant on smog checks. First one after 5 years and then one every 2? Is that what you mean? Should I wait to have the car smoged before buying headers and installing? I might not get a tune right off the bat.

Sounds like I definitely need to go Evolve, but it also seems like the tune needs to be custom. Can I get away with their basic tune or should my car be sent away? Ideally, if I simply stick to the 3-stage and and headers, I'd like to just request the tune the TheSt|G received. Either way I should probably be asking Evolve this lol.
