Thanks for the replys. Fortunately, probably for me, and for you, I'm a big boy and understand the functionality of the "search" feature. Also adept at "shopping" for parts. I can make independent decisions and don't find it necessary have a quorum before I make a move on my personal auto.
However, there are nuances to every automobile, so what I did first to my previous car, may not be necessary to do to my current car, which is where you guys come in.
Really appreciate the help and experience you all have with the M3. I will naturally steer clear of any warranty voiding mods for a little while. Bad experience in the past. My father always told me education was expensive, naive me thought he was talking about college, but that was the cheap lesson.
Anyway, will probably look into CAI first as an engine is nothing more than a big air pump and more to breath=~more to pump. I want to spend some time getting to know the ride before I go crazy modding it. It's definitely a blast to drive and I've already had a few MS3s pull up next to me and honk, so it seems like a nice little community is being established.
Safe driving!
Peace.
