Hey guys! I’ve always loved BMW’s, and due to a recent car accident, and going through a financial institution rather than a dealership, I’ve come into driving a 2020 BMW X2 28iXDrive with the premium package (has about 66,000KM on it). I’d be absolutely lying if I said I didn’t freaking love this car. Now, I understand it’s a very “entry level” BMW, so it only has a little 2.0t i4 making about 240hp and 260lbft while sitting at 3600lbs. I. Want. More. Power. I know many of you are probably thinking “Well why didn’t you get a different BMW then?”, well I was in a tight situation and my options were limited due to my previous lein. I still love it none the less though. What are some things that people would recommend doing that are feasible to install/replace on my own? And what are brands I should look for? My current things I would like to do are: cold air intake (or resonator delete pipe if a C.A.I is unnecessary), cat back exhaust, tune (definitely need a profesional), lowering springs ,new wheels (it has the 20" wheels but I want them to be black), EVENTUALLY want to get a suspension kit and put a very light RESPECTABLE amount of camber on. Any and every thought and genuine opinion is truly appreciated even if it’s just to stick to the absolute basics and wait till I can get something with an i6 or even a V8 if I can get there.

    CAI is useless on these, they’re just for sound…unless you want sound. The intake is already optimized. There’s a reason JCW and M35 still uses the same intake. just get a plug and play Dinantronics X or Burger tuning jb4 or bootmod, etc. piggy backs. an actual tune is a waste of money unless you go full bolt-on with a lot more mods.

    you probably want to replace the engine mounts first on this chassis if it isn’t the updated one already.
