FMIC Upgrade in AZ Heat
I have a '14 335i M-Sport auto and live in the Phoenix area. I just bought it in June and it is stock. I would eventually like to get a BM3 tune and FBO but that is going to be over the next year or two. The goal is 450 or so FWHP as this is my daily driver and my wife will be driving it when I need her car. Must be reliable and run crappy AZ 91 octane (93 is scarce near me).
I'm looking for feedback from fellow Phoenix valley members with upgrade experience. I'm thinking my very first upgrades this year will be charge pipe and a FMIC. Is the FMIC worth it first? I know that I am not going to see big numbers from the FMIC without the tune but I figure that we are at a disadvantage from the start with 115* ambient temps and an upgrade will help with timing and a bit of boost in the heat. And it will be set for when I add the BM3.
Suggestions on which FMIC for my HP target? It's modest as I am not looking to turbo upgrade or meth inject until I have another daily driver.
Thanks!
