BMW 1m track modification
I just recently bought a BMW 1M and I'm loving it .
It's mainly my daily drive during summer and I'm using it on track when i can. I was thinking about giving her a little bit more power. I was thinking about catback exhaust kit, larger intercooler and new ECU mapping. For exhaust kit i was thinking about HMS kit , Eisenmann or Vorsteiner. I don't know if some of you could give me some advide or recommend some product. Thanks |

I suggest Cobb AP w/protune, BMS DCI, Helix IC, N54Tuning or VRSF DP's, any catback that sounds the way you like, in that order.
Basically FBO, should get you to around 390whp on 93, or north of 420whp if you throw E85 into the mix. This is assuming on a dynojet, decent weather and gas. Also recommend replacing the charge pipe, the stock plastic one is known to crack and fail a the flange.

If track, like title says, begin with brakes and susp.
Pads, lines and fluid. Then coilovers with great geometry (2° front ie) Then go with power.

From the above thought I would put number one as track tires/rims, that will be the biggest difference. I ran with my PSS on one track evening and holy shit do they suck on the track for everything compared to my ZII's. Turn in, braking, grip. I do one track day a month and never bother with power. |

Im currently using 275/35r18 nitto nt-01 as track tire as wells as enkei nt03 wheels
Already upgraded my brake pad and fluid. I could maybe work on suspension but stock suspension is already good for the use I make for the moment. |

It won't be when you run more power.
