I was talking about the 335 specifically. In general, I agree with you.

Im FBO, the core parts should be:

FMIC, downpipes, meth, tune, intake. These are the true power mods.

What kind of power are you making?

So fbo consist mainly of power mods and not supporting mods...this helps clear things up when researching and reading other topics..

Personally I would consider them just supporting mods, Intake, DP's, Charge pipe/dv's, FMIC. the power mods come from tune, meth, turbos etc. but that is just how I look at it.

haha, coming from someone that makes more power than 90% of the forum without all the supporting mods, you have a good point.

Thanks for clearing this up or giving me a better understanding of FBO. I am new to modding my 335i and was somewhat lost also.
