Ive had my 2013 BMW 320i Xdrive for 3 years got injen air intake, go fast bits diverter valve, muffler delete, VRSF downpipe, and bootmod3 stage 1 tune and have never had a problem had replace valve cover gaskets once about 5 months ago and been fine since haven't gotten it dynoed but i bet its push a little over 300 whp plus just ordered a FTP charge and boost pipe cause i know factory ones haven’t been great for people. I highly recommend BM3 tho they give you 1 free custom tune with you order and tell you the exact mods needed for each stage tune you choose
I just finished a 2013 320i with VRSF dp, Turner FMIC, MST intake, FTP charge pipe, GFB DV+ and custom exhaust with one small resonator... it doesnt run worth a shit, and has an overboost code. Im trying to figure out if I want JB4 or BM3...
I had 70,000 miles now got 130,000 and never have had an issue on BM3 stage 1 tune just installed ftp charge pipe and boost pipe couple weeks ago. Also installed Precision raceworks ignition system kit few days ago. going stage 2 this weekend after I install my intercooler and inlet pipe as well as replace some spark plugs
Wow y’all are giving me hope lol, I just purchased a 2015 328i and I’m so hesitant to start missing it due to the horror stories of the reliability and maintenance
@@CharlieAmatoI have a 228i I would like to know your mods on your car, I’m trying to mod mine now since I hit 100k I’m doing coil packs and spark plus any good brands that been working for you?
Actually you won't get 300 WHP, 300 crankshaft HP at most. Stock turbo provides maximum of 28lbs of airflow, so normally was 280HP. More horsepower requires turbo replacement.....
Guys my n26 is stage 2 with downpipe and charge pipes and it’s only making 260 horse power really confused on the power loss aswell as it has no engine light lmk.
The N20 motor is weak up until 5-600hp. My boy is running 640 to the wheels stock internals, stock turbo, over 100k miles. Its possible people you just need the right tuning and fueling.
just dont bother with the n20/n26. Ive had one, did full bolt ons, stage 2 tune, the best shit money could buy and it was still painfully slow compared to n55 or b58. Save the money and get at least an n54 or n55. You will thank me later.
Some people won’t go out of their way to buy that specific platform and are perfectly content with the N20/N26. A lot of people buy these cars and then want to upgrade the internals after.. I personally have an N26 that’s been paid off for years now and it’s just a fun daily which nothing wrong with that.
N26 with injen intake, axleback awe exhaust, planning on NSFW intercoller, downpipe, and bootmod3tune should I replace spark plugs after tune? Brotha, needs help
Mine is a 220i I got exactly the same mods actually the only brand that is different from the ones he suggestes is the coils I gots cts high power coils, and made 270whp after tune and dyno
In the stock hey Alex my name is Orlando I'm new to the BMW world I have a 320i 2017 and I'm looking for the best Mod upgrades to start out with can you help me
If you have a N20 and you expect to sell it in couple years + don’t give a fuck about next owner, yhea definitely tune it you’ll have some fun with it. But if you daily one each day on highway and mileage is going up kick don’t. Do oil change with liqui moly every 8k km and maybe you will hit 300 k km mark.
I’d recommend doing the charge pipe and boost pipe upgrades. I’m stage 1 on my 328i (also a 2014) and have been for about a year now. I have an awe exhaust, dinan coils, mst turbo inlet pipe and evolution racewerks charge pipe and boost pipe. I’m doing the high flow catted downpipe today (also by evolution racewerks). I live in Florida and haven’t upgraded the intercooler yet, but it’s never a bad idea to upgrade the intercooler. I just went with power and preventative maintenance mods first lol
@@3mmanuel310 there isn’t a ton of mods that will net huge gains on our engines without putting in a lot of money and work. Really the only mods I have that make it more fun to drive and add a tiny bit of horsepower are exhaust, downpipe, turbo inlet pipe (you get more turbo noise with this one), and of course the bootmod3 tune
I’m looking at bootmod3. I just bought an n20 328i after I get my windows and wheels straight I’ll be upping the power and am definitely going with an actual tune and not a piggy back.
@@jh.f30 fuck yeah ur such a legend , JB4/MHD are for lames or N54 broke bois BM3 gives u the best performance outta those tunes and there constantly active on the support side and you can request custom tunes currently pushing 420 WHP on my N20
the compression on the 20i is 11:1 and 28i is 10:1, you get higher HP gains when tuning a 20i though. only because it has less HP from factory but still has the capability as the 28i
@@BrownNProud781 at higher effective compression ratios you don't actually gain any advantage over the higher compression ratio.. its way safer to tune the 328i to 20 psi than 320i to 20psi
@Memeur yea because if its 10:1 its the A engine aka the 28i engine.. ofc you do get the same horsepower.. But you can get same horsepower on the B engine too since everything is same except intercooler, mid exhaust pipe diameter and axles
@@julianroman4416 I haven't done a postmortem yet but I think it's the timing chain. It just gave me a low oil pressure warning and it went off. I removed the top cover and I didn't even bother to go further.

That's what he said.
@@bretpetrie7044 not it’s not.
That’s what he said..thats bmw says n20 is 240hp but in reality it’s 270hp so yes he also says that they underrate

i got 2015 bmw 228i xdrive im completely fbo with stage 2 E30 by bm3 trans tune and 3in str8 pipe all the way back. i dyno 332whp

What brand you rocking?
run a scan, do a compression test.
might be the charge pipe not being properly fastened or needs intercooler upgrade.
Great vídeo Bro thanks ❤❤❤❤
change the stock plastic pipes too
so it can take the power u pushing 👍🏽
my 228i pushing like a m235i 😭

if u haven’t tuned already, i would say do them right before tuning, just so they don’t burn out. that’s what i did

pretty sure dude just took this off some website and made a yt video

@@bhgtre ditched the JB4 that is just a waste of money, BM3 got me to 279whp and is way more responsive
For the jb4 tune do u just do it at a shop and they give u the chip for the ECU
They give it to you with instructions
Jb4 is cave man tech get mhd or bm3. I got stage 2 bm3 for my 320i and run custom flame map sometimes too
dont do jb4. do bm3 or if your platform is available mhd
Can I get all these mods then just straight tune it to stage 2 or do I need to put it in stage 1 first
Lmao you can go straight to stage 2
Pretty cool guy

“By doing that you turn up de Boost” HOW? Jb4 is a piggy back and it reaaaaaaaallly sucks compared to bootmod3
Id recommend replacing both charge pipes before increasing boost. Stock ones suck ass

Could I do bootmode instead of jb4 and have the same results?
Possibly

Charge pipes on the the n20 aren’t too prone to blowing up
False the charge pipe and boost pipe are prone to blow within time and all tha heat cycles tha car goes through..

E85 runs cooler and has less chance of knocking so you can run higher boost
