Question 2013 135i n55 (reliable upgrades)

Hey Guys,
Looking to mod my stock 135i. I put together what i thought would be a good idea to wake up my DD. Also Looking to buy parts if i anyone has any. Looking for suggestion on better setup or parts to buy themselves, if anyone has some. New to BMW world but was hoping to wake car up atleast another 100 tq, hp or more

VRSF catless Ceramic downpipe
VRSF 7" intercooler
VRSF Turbo Outlet charge pipe
Lower Charge pipe
VSRF charge pipe for OEM diverter valves
Dinan Muffler
K&N filter or BMS CAI

Sounds like you're pretty much on the right track with one glaring piece of the puzzle missing, you'll really need a tune to take advantage of most of those add ons.

Ditto on the tune...you'll never see the full potential without a proper tune. Start searching and you'll see most options will be JB4, MHD, Cobb, Dinan etc....just depends on your budget and how much work and research you want to do but the nice part is you have options. Enjoy the ride!

Your 2013 N55 has a locked DME (engine computer). This will limit your tune possibilities unless you get it unlocked and that will likely mean sending the DME out to get it done. Unless you live near someone that can do it.

MHD is the leader in that area. Lots of reading to do on that.

JB4 is pretty tempting as no DME downtime.

Dinan tune can be done without removing and sending out the DME to get it unlocked.

And it's on sale currently I think. I don't have it but I'd like eventually
