Flash or jb4/intakes/meth

Hey everyone. I'm coming from a 700jp single turbo 335i. I'm wondering if I should go jb4/intakes/meth/back end flash or just go straight dmetuning flash for the f10 m5. Thanks in advance.

It truly depends on your goals and $$$$

If you plan to stay on stock clutches, straight flash with downpipes may be the way to go until you are ready to upgrade to SSPs which can handle the power of the JB4/Flash/Meth

DMEs Tuning Stage 3 on stock clutches will net you around 670-690whp. On SSP you're looking around 700-740whp for just the flash.

Talk to Mo, he will set you on the right path

I bought jb4 intakes chargepipe a and meth for around $2k. I was quoted $1999 for just a DME flash which I thought was ridiculous. I've always like jb4 anyway. This will make me happy and put me around 650whp which is where the stock clutches are good for. Once I feel like spending $5k more I'll go clutches and back end flash and downpipes.

Just be sure to watch trims and AFR. With Meth you might be ok, but still worth keeping an eye out

You'll find most prices are ridiculous for this platform vs the N54 simply because of how many N54 powered vehicles are out there. I cringe and get annoyed every time I compare mods to my X5M vs the GF's 535xiT...I just paid $850 for a used JB4 and BCM for the X5M but I can find $300 JB4 G5 ISO for the N54 all day long. Hit up Halim/HCP, I'm sure he can get you a better deal on a flash tune...I'm running his tune on my X5M and it's great.

If you are on stock clutches, Mission Performance will limit your torque to about <680wtq. Mine started to slip on the dyno at around that wtq level.
