Hey everyone! I should be closing the deal tomorrow on a 2012 135i tomorrow and have a few questions I cannot find the answers to...

I love to mod all my vehicles...I would love to start with this and want some thoughts;

Is it ok to slap a catless dp on with no tune? I am not very familiar with the n55 and what's safe to do AFR wise...? I plan on also a stage 2 JB4 immediately after the DP.

Can I roll around on the catless DP safely with no tune for a few weeks and still have fun? I also read about the bigger inter cooler and oil cooler both mods I will also do shortly after I wake her up a little. Sorry for the newb questions. Thanks in advance for the replies.

It is perfectly fine to add DP without tune (By the way very good choice on these Downpipes).
You will get engine code because you do not have a tune, you can ignore it.
As an advice get a package deal for a JB4 and VRSF from one of the vendors on the forum.

i hate you light with be on the dash. But shouldnt harm anything. Although as for me i dont like my car telling me it hates me all the time so i would wait.

if you reverse your order of operations there and go with the tune first you won't have the light.

JB4 wakes car up more so than DP but DP sounds great so really all about whichever you'd like to do.

Welcome btw

Hey thanks guys! I'm def gonna order both at the same time . I was thinking I should do a little drop and wheel spacers to compliment it... Any suggestions? I heard hnr sports are decent. Any recommendations on the spacers mm wise?
