My car is also N51 6MT with AA headers and BPC tune and won't idle correctly (have reset adaptations multiple times and replaced nearly every sensor that might affect it). My indy couldn't figure it out either. He did call BPC and they are aware of the issue but had no solution. Interested if you are just "living with it" or if you were able to get the car to idle normally?

KWs are highly recommended if you do a lot more track days.

Ohlins if you do more street.

Brakes, i went for 330i front discs and caliper carriers (stock calipers) and better pads (currently on ferodo DS Performance) and stops on a dime (wink wink) and castrol SRF React as well.

One thing i will say, personally if i were to do the suspension again i would get the ST XTA coil overs. Mainly due to you get camber plates and the front comes with helper springs, cost a lot less than V3s, however only rebound and no bump/compression.

You can get the Clubsport and run soft for street and stiff for track, helper springs and camber plates but really expensive.

I ended up doing TC Kline Coilovers with Vorshlag Camber Plates plus a bunch of SPL links, I'll let you know how it is once everything is installed and adjusted

It really gave the car a facelift, if you can find it for a decent price It's definitely worth it

It changes the face of the car from "please don't hurt me," to "I'm going to hurt feelings and enjoy it with a big smile."
