The best and worst decisions with my three series
I came close to selling my car before starting to modify it. I started off with basic bolt ons, upgrading the intercooler and changing the downpipe. I started off with a cobb tune and then tried the jb4 and now I have an MHD tune. Then I got the idea of adding a methanol injection kit. Some of the highest quality kits with built-in safety systems are made by Aquamist. So I ordered and HFS4 kit directly from the factory in the UK. It cost almost $1000 and I waited one month for it to arrive. Now one year later and two installers later and $2500 later the kid still does not work correctly. He flow sensor has leaked since initial installation and I get persistent misfires in cylinders three and four when I have the kit turned on. I was initially fascinated by the idea of methanol injection but needless to say this is by far the worst decision I've made in modifying the car. I would seriously caution anyone from installing a meth kit. By far the best decision was getting a custom MHD tune. I had contacted MHD in Berlin and asked them who they suggest for a custom tune. I highly suggest a custom tune, dollar for dollar it's one of the best decisions that you can make.

I went with a Dinan tune when it was 50% off and I don't regret it
People talk trash about Dinan, but you're paying for the reliability and aftermarket support, and they definitely deliver both. I'm willing to pay for that for my DD. |

They'll ask you to send them recordings of your engine parameters. You check off the requested boxes and send them the data. It's fairly straightforward. I should have just done a custom tune instead of using the OTS maps first.
