I've seen RB is a pretty popular option and has a relatively low core charge cost which is always a plus. Also, seen Vivid Racing has a decent solution.

I was wondering what kind of set ups some people on here are using and if they had any advice?

My '09 135i has 74K miles and has JB4, AA charge pipe +BOV, aFe DCI, AA DP's, and AA signature exhaust. I plan on upgrading the FMIC before anything with the turbos though.
You have a nice AA set up there, you definitely need to complete with the FMIC.
As for turbos, RB are working on some new ones, i would wait on that before making a new turbo purchase
