upgrade path

[tuphdc]

On my 128i I've completed the following:
1. Carbon Filter Delete
2. Golf Tee Mod

My future path is:
1. Magnaflow Exhaust
2. aFe or Macht Schnell scoops
3. SuperSprint headers
4. 3 Stage Intake Manifold Conversion
5. Evolve Tune

I have no idea how I'll be able to complete all of these because it'll be quite pricey - but never mind that.

Am I forgetting anything?

+1 on the magnaflow exhaust, I love mine and get compliments all the time.

Besides lighter wheels, are there other common ways to reduce weight?

3 4 and 5 before anything else. The most dramatic mods you can do to the car, including sound. Then go a bit lower with good shocks, then throw on m3 bits as your stuff wears out. Thats the order i'd mod mine in if i did it again.

Suspension first IMO.

Skip 1 and 2 for a bit.

Seats.

Wheel weight is always going to be huge though as it is unsprung weight. I shed 40.4 lbs alone when I ditched the runflats and stock wheels.

Having done it the other way, I agree. Though I should be taking care of that in the next week or so.

And on that note, M3 subframe bushings are an absurd upgrade.

Absurdly good!
