What to do first?
 
Greetings! Usually my first mod on any car I’ve had is to put in a new K&N filter. I haven’t done that year to my 2017 clubman S, just the rubber floor mats. But now I’m wondering what to do to it. I’m considering a DINANTRONICS sport module, or the NM sway bar and the “big pair” chassis braces (anyone have experience with those?), or airbox ...although I’m still on fence with that one since I’m waiting to see what happens with the open hood scoop previously mentioned on this forum. So I’m curious what are other member’s first mods, and why. All opinions are greatly appreciated!

Didn't do sway bar first on my F56, but had I known how good it was I would have.

I have the 2019 Clubman S with JCW Exhaust. My first mod with an aFe high flow DRY air filter. I’m not a fan of the oiled K&N filters with all of the sensors that can get fouled from the oil. My second mod was the Dinan Elite tuner. Let me tell ya, that totally woke the car up! The throttle now responds like a scalded dog running for water.

Oh, and 3 days later, I had the windows tinted. Ceramic film, 20% in the back, 30% front windows. Oh, and I had the ceramic coating done on the paint.

i have had the car for 28 days now.

oh, crap, I forgot about the CravenSpeed front tow hook license bracket.

Wow! That sounds great! Oh, I forgot...I did do the cravenspeed platypus tow hook license plate holder too! Thank you for the advise on the dry air filter.

You’re very welcome. I forgot, I also got the BimmerCode app and have programmed my remote to control windows and sunroof, set my fog lights to stay on when brights are on, turned OFF active sound, and disabled that legal Mumbo Jumbo about using the stereo when driving (when you turn the car on). The adapter I bought is the VeePeak BLE+

Thank you for the extra info!! That veepeak adaptor..where did you get it and how much was it? I was almost going to give in and get the ones on the BimmerCode app site that are recommended.

I ordered it from VeePeak's store on Amazon for $40.
