im assuming you're talking about your 335i that's in your sig? Dinan Cars - Stage 3 Performance Engine Software/Boost Upgrade is not a bad start

JB4 is cheaper and it has adjustable maps. Dinan is a bit expensive for what you're getting. thanks anyway!

It's not as straightforward as you'd think. You'll probably need forged internals to run that much on a regular basis. You don't want to blow a hole in your block and be left with a useless e93. haha. Then swap out the turbos and get a much stronger clutch. Have it custom tuned on a dyno. You can likely go higher than 500 on this setup with no issues.
I personally wouldn't recommend this route however, since at the end of the day you'll spend a ton and still won't have an ///M car. You'll also never get a penny out of your mods on resale. My best advice is to get an e46 M3 and go FI on it. You can put down a reliable 600 whp for similar money and be able to talk about owning an M3.
Can't wait to see where this goes!

(
x 500 ) + 
= 500whp
Seems pretty simple if you own a large ranch

The JB4 is a wonderful thing, i can switch maps between stock which with supporting mods would be around 350whp and for a quick blast down the interstate or if i run into a C63 i can switch to map 7 which if im correct is 17psi and that could give you anwhere in the ballpark of 450-500whp. I WILL NOT BE RUNNING FULL BOOST ALL THE TIME so i wont worry as much with wear and tear. after 500hp gets boring i might look into a G-Power M6 or M5
