335xi Performance Stuff to get

I just got a 2008 335xi and got the V3 access port from cobb tuning what else should I be looking at? Should I go for intercooler and a hard pipe to get rid of the two DV setup? I got a step colder plugs just for my tune but want some advice on what else I should get, slowly starting from the tune then work my way around the engine and then exhaust. Any thoughts or ideas would be awesome and very helpful since I am coming from an easier car a Jetta to put on performance stuff.

Do some reading in the n54 performance specific forum. That should answer all you questions.

Yeah an intercooler is a good idea, but whatever chargepipe you use is up to you. Eliminating the leak prone stock dv's are good but consider whether or not you want meth bungs if you want to run that later on.

Downpipes are usual for this platform.. you want them. More sound, more power, and you need them run more aggressive maps. Then run whatever exhaust you want

Click on My garage list to the left and go down and you will see all of the Mods I have on my N54 335i xdrive coupe. It all comes down to budget and personal preference as to what mods to do. Best of luck!
