stock bov is fine, if you want it louder plug the hole in the box and vent it to the atmosphere. Exhaust you probably want to get one of the quieter like the rb cb and a m2 dp. Futhermore you will probably not need a boost controller unless you open up the intake and replace the main cat. Get a boost gauge to keep an eye on what shes doing under hood

You probably want to do a search on increasing boost, ECUs, intercoolers and how much it cost to replace an engine before you go on a quest of life imitating "art"...

There was a brand new m3 at the track and it was not impressive at all, it ran a 13.8. Slightly faster than the older M3. I think the perfect set up would be, intake, dp, mp, cat back, fuel pump, al radiator, apexi pfc and 12 psi of boost and everything should be good and safe. A vaccum job would be good too. I hate M3's, and bmw is no where near the ultimate driving machine

Obviously then youve never drove a brand new M3 because the be honest they are more axhilerating then the RX-7's totally different feeling car. And ya they are the ultimate driving machine, they are fast but at the same time are luxury and practical for every day use so for you to say you hate them your either ignorant or you just have your own opionon

Anything BMW makes is a great vehicle... my mom has a '92 525i wagon and while it doesn't have much pickup, it handles better than most sedans I've driven. So don't knock BMWs just because their stock numbers are around where yours should be.

If you got the FUNDS..

UPGRADE your ECU as your first MOD.
Then Mod to your hearts desire..

IMO. Do not buy a BOOST CONTROLLER.
You gonna end up turning your boost up
with your current set up and one day BOOOM.
your Motor gona be toast..
