BM3 Stage 2 and FMIC?
I have a 2018 M2. So I added a fabspeed sport cat and will be doing BM3 soon. A few questions. Do I need a FMIC for BM3 stage 2 or just the downpipe? Or do I have to stick with stage 1 without the FMIC?
Also, if I DIY a FMIC, can it be done without taking off the front bumper? Thanks! |

Bumper doesn’t need to come off. New one will go in the same way the old one comes out, just a bit more work to get it in, a second set of hands really helps, my car was on jack stands and I used one foot and both hands to get it in as you have to push and twist and maneuver and swear a few times until it just finds it way in. I just followed one of the how to’s.
I don’t know on the bm3 question |

I'm in a similar situation, 2018 M2, I already put the fabspeed sc downpipe. I have a dinan sport tuner but after some research I decided not to install it until I have an IC and chargepipe installed, they are on order.
From my understanding with the N55 M2, anytime you plan to run more than stock boost, an IC is a really good idea. |

Absolutely upgrade your charge pipe otherwise it WILL break. If money is an issue, I would upgrade the cp first, and purchase an FMIC when funds allow but you will want to run some logs without the intercooler upgrade to monitor temps. My $0.02
