IF you had...

If your f10 was bone stock, and you had 1500$ burning a hole in your pocket what would you buy?

Nothing - I like my cars stock and my money in the bank.

But if you're dead-set on buying a mod for your car, I'd spend only 1/3rd of it and pick up the JB4 - bang for the buck, I think it's an enhancement you'll value each time you drive the car.

Assuming he has either DHP or sport suspension on his xDrive (don't know if it was offered for his build), I don't see why more power would be useless?

Yes, I have DHP, DDC, and ARS. I ended up going with the JB4 S2!

They don't have a COBB access port for F10 535i's. I contacted them in regards to this and they told me that was too much research and development involved. Wouldn't even considered a group buy.

Good move on the JB4! How do you like it?

I think it was the right move! With DHP / ARS, you're in good shape with the suspension! Adding some extra power is the best bang for the buck with JB4.
