Burger Motorsports JB Stage 1 Linked hereI like to call this the poor man’s MPPK, dyno chart’s vary but it seems to be good for around 30 HP and around 40 ft/lbsI hope to get some dyno testing done with and without it. Here’s to hoping that happens.

Finally driving a car with some soul!
Specs:
2013 BMW 335i built in January 2013 at the Rosslyn plant. German car built in South Africa. Wait what?! Ok but the SA cars have fewer defects than the German built cars, sweet! See here for details.
Miles when purchased: ~43000
Cosmetic Mods
- Illuminated LCI AC/Radio Trim as detailed here on Bimmerpost
- This is an illuminated trim piece from the 4 series Luxury line that goes around the center console controls. Compared to the standard trim piece, this one is illuminated and can change colors between amber and white. It has a glossy finish instead of the matte that came equipped with the car and adds to overall ambient lighting in the car.
- The installation was pretty easy but the creation of the Y-Cable was pretty difficult. I totally had to mickey mouse the cable together as I nearly destroyed the PINS and the adapter. Do yourself a favor and get the cable made or purchase the special tool that crimps it.
- Brighter door lights and trunk light
- Purchased a kit that supposedly fit my car from Horizon LED’s in England. When they arrived, NONE of the bulbs fit so I made them fit. I fitted 2 bulbs in the doors and 1 in the trunk. Much brighter with these bulbs
- Various codings done through tokenmasters E-Sys launcher pro
- Blacked out front side reflectors bought from ECS tuning
- An important note about installing these. Make sure you really spend A LOT of time removing the left over adhesive when you remove the original orange reflectors. I had to reinstall these things 3 times because of my lazy/dumb prep work.
- If you need new adhesive, 3m VHB tape has worked really well for me since doing it the right way. You can find 1/2″ double sided Tapecase aka 3M VHB tape
- For the final attempt I followed 3M’s surface preparation sheet found here, including using Alchol to dissolve the old adhesive, and finely sanding circles into both the reflectors and the interior of the bumper
- Plasti-dipped the rear bumper reflectors black
- Plasti-dipped front kidney grill
- It was already a black kidney grill, however it was chipped, and slightly faded in the corners so I decided to dip it, came out really well.
- Center console phone cradle delete
- Great pictorial DIY on bimmerpost: Post 31, removed phone cradle
- Purchased the empty mat from ECS here
- Kuda phone mount
- Ended up purchasing this from Kuda direct and then then purchased this magnetic disc to use in conjunction with it
- I was a bit in shock after spending so much on a phone mount but IMHO it’s totally worth it, looks totally stock and fits great and out of the way.
