So I have had my 2011 550i (50,000 miles on it) for about a month. Most AWESOME thing I've ever owned in my life. I've got H&R springs about to be installed and some 20" TSW MAX wheels coming in the next couple of weeks.
I put a JB3 Stage 1 on it today and WOW!
My question is for you guys that have done a lot of performance mods, What next???? I've got about $1500.00 to put into it and cosmetically I'm good. What would you put 1500 bucks on to get the most bang for your buck performance wise. And this is probably the last mod I'll do for a while… Pricey obsession

Thanks!!!

Is stage 2 as easy to install as stage 1?

It's a bit more complicated. Is it a DIY? Kinda. It depends on how ballsy you are:

I would also look at getting getting a nice grille, carbon fiber lip or diffuser. My build:

Sweet! I love the grill! I want that M-Sport front end too!

I would wrap those 20" wheels with some michelin pilot super sports. Probably need more grip with the added power of the jb4

Thats what my car dude said. He is going to order those or Nitto NT555. Any thoughts on those tires, they're about half the price. They look like "nice" weather tires, as in maybe not so great on the wet.

Nitto's high end performance tires are generally just meant for hot dry weather i believe while the pss is meant for dry and wet

you can do stage 2, its not as easy but, its do-able.
maybe exhaust ?
I have the Megan Mufflers and love the sounds, not sure if performance gains tho

[jayfro72]

I thought about axel back just for that exhaust note. Not sure of the gains. I am surprised how quite this twin turbo v-8 is. My old obsession is a 71 plymouth duster 340. It'll wake up the neighbors!
