If you want more power the best mods for the engine would be downpipe, intercooler, and tune to start and you might also want to consider changing the charge pipe as well..

I would like downpipe, intercooler upgrade, charge pipe? and tune, maybe turbo upgrade later, so which company makes these products? Before I had good experience with COBB on GTR, even though I upgraded to Syvecs later since shop recommends but COBB not out yet for M2...

For now, this is gonna be future GF's car so not going S55 and not gonna drive often, I got a driver for weekdays and a SUV and GTR to drive on weekends...

Negative, multiple intercoolers are available and Pure Turbo has shown that charge pipes from the 235 fit the car as well.

I would highly recommend either the Fabspeed or Evolution Racewerk downpipe, Active Autowerke or Wagner Intercooler, and Evolution Racewerk charge pipe.. I will be going with the JB4 tune as I had it on my 235 for 9k miles with zero issues and nothing but smiles

Don't expect Cobb to be released for the M2 as it wasn't released for the n55 engine on the new F series cars.

Yeah man, 1M was the n54 engine which has an infinite amount of tuning available for it.. The n55 especially F series with electronic wastegate not so much.. The major choices for tuning are JB4 (piggyback tune) or a custom flash tune. If you need any other help feel free to reach out, I am no stranger to these cars and motors

So basically,
1. Burger Motorsports F Series N55 JB4 same one as 235i? any options or wires that I need? correct part #?
2. Evolution Racewerk Competition Series 4" Catless Downpipe (F30/F32/F33/F20/F21 N55) This one fits?
3. Active Autowerke BMW F30 F32 F22 F87 M235i M2 335i 435i N55 Intercooler or Wagner NEW - Competition-Package EVO2 BMW E-series N55 with cat. Item no.: 700001016 or correct item no.? which one better? Active Autowerke or Wagner, dunno which part # as many choices... and none stated F87 M2...
4. Evolution Racewerk N55 (3.0T) F30/F32/F33/F20/F21 Charge Pipes or N55 (3.0T) F30/F32/F33/F20/F21 Turbo to Intercooler Charge Pipe (TIC)? which one should I pick fits F87 M2...?

Also keep in mind when/ if you do pure stage 2 you will also need fueling upgrades.

Also in TW, I have ordered Akrapovic full system with downpipe. For charge pipe, check out FTP, great quality. Intercooler either AA or WT. I am getting my charge pipe installed today, if you got time, you can swing by and check it out.

For the amount of money you pay for MP suspension, why not go for KW V3? My friend has the GPower stage 2 for his M5, seems very stable. They currently have stage 1 kit for M2. Intake, Eventuri or wait for GruppeM, but not too sure if they plan on making one for M2. For wheels... I ordered BBS FI-R, I always have the perception that RAYS are for Japanese cars, but that's just me.

If you plan to just do high speed runs with the M2, then ECU mods are cool, but I don't see how increased horsepower and torque is gonna make open back roads easier and fun. 370hp is perfect for 106 and other twisties.
