Hello everyone,
I'm a new member in this forum.
I have a 2014 535i xDrive (F10-N55 engine) and it's my daily driver and I don't want to have issues and check engine lights.
I currently have dinantronics stage 1 chip on it and M Preformance exhaust.
I want to reach 400 or 450 hp.
What do you guys recommend?
I was thinking an air intake+catless downpipe + charge pipe and maybe an intercooler if needed.
Dinan doesn't have stage 2 tune so I think I have to go with JB4 unless you have a better recommendation.
I'm kinda new to the performance tuning stuff.
Please list companies and parts that you recommend.
Hope to hear your opinions.
Turbo is too small for 400-450 rwhp. Might get you 400 crank hp, or about 340 rwhp. You need a turbo upgrade. Dinan sells one. But so do other tuners. RB, Pure, Vargas. Finding F10 parts is harder than F30 but the turbos and motor should be the same. Not sure about ECU. Check the group buy section here for vendors selling F10 turbo parts - I think I saw a couple recently that hard charge pipes or downpours or intercoolers. You don’t need a big single turbo kit. Just a turbo with upgraded internals — compressor and/or turbine.

Head over to bimmerpost and you will find some answers. Basically, a proper tune from AA, Mission Tuning, MHD and the likes along with the mods you mentioned should yield you 350whp with over 400tq. Any more than that and you will be need to upgrade fueling and larger turbo. Don't bother with Dinan.
I can help
You need to start with a tune. You can do Jb4 on its own or Jb4 + ECU Flash for best results
Intercooler
Charge Pipe
Intake
E85 if available
Methanol injection
Pure Stage 2 turbo
