Looking for feedback for tune setup...

What’s up everyone! I got a White 2017 M2, preordered and waited 6 months for wayyy back in the Spring/Summer of 2016. I’m almost ready for some upgrades. Have been saving and going to start ordering parts and get everything on before spring.

Should I slowly add parts, or just throw everything on at once and tune it? There’s a great shop near me who I trust completely.

Main question — how is this setup? Would you adjust/change anything? Any feedback would be appreciated! I have been on this forum almost on a every other day basis for the past many years. Appreciate your feedback in advance.

1. BM3 tune
2. CSF intercooler
3. Intake (dinan or injen)
4. Active Autowerk charge pipe
5. VRSF M2 Catless down Pipe heat wrapped
6. BMW MPE
7. Ohlins
8. Refinish stock wheels
9. Front lip -Light weight and not too flash spoiler, body painted for both.

At least once a year. Been to the track a couple times and have racing pads and stainless steel lines.

I like the Wagner Evo 2 competition intercooler. It's light weight, doesn't suffer much additional turbo lag if any, and recovers from heat soak quickly.

I'm not sure an intake will do much besides make noise.

I like the Wagner Evo 2 Comp better as well.

Also, I considered wrapping my dp too, but decided against it. I forget why. I think because it traps moisture and the wrap can degrade over time.

I would advocate for a catted downpipe. Catless stinks and makes driving with the windows down unpleasant. It's also less environmentally sound.

Looks good!

I also recommend getting it custom tuned once all the mods are added.

I personally run the fabspeed unit. The Wagner also seems like a great option.
