What parts do I need really?

Car is 2017 540i

I had a FBO N55 with Bm3 custom tune so I researched and found lots of stuff.

For my B58, what parts do I exactly need to go FBO? I just got it yesterday and my eventual goal is Stage 2 custom tune like my F30.

I know for stage 2 I need Charge pipe and downpipe, do I also need the heat exchanger? if so what would you recommend and has anyone done any of this yet? How about a DV+? Spark plugs?

I am asking this because I did hear lot of the stuff on this car is well made over our older cars so tryna find that out.

Another question btw, I paid extra for the bmw unlimited mile extended warranty so would they really flag my car if some oil leaks happen and stuff like that? The usual engine wear and tare I mean for B58

On my F30 I had route66 and took it in couple times and no issues, they knew its tuned but my SA is pretty cool

I also have a 540i, for stage 2 you only need a downpipe for this car.

I blew my charge pipe on my N55 with stage 1 even lol, does it mean this car got better charge pipes? And no intercooler or heat exchanger either to run cooler?

this car charge pipes is good for under 500whp. I'm on the fb group and no one have problem with it. for intercooler B58 use water to air cooling system which is better so you are good on that too. But if you want to run E50 you should change your hpfp to the TU pump.

Alright send me the group of FB, I will join as well and damn, I am super excited if that's the case, less parts to mess with, less the problems. Are you running catless or catted?
