First off, congrats! I recently picked up my X1 as well.
1. You didn't specify the type of mods you're asking about so this list could get pretty long. Since the vehicle shares many parts with the 335xi there are a bunch of mods you can do.
**NOTE**
If you want to add power then change your chargepipe first. They are known to fail even at stock boost levels.
Tune - JB4, MHD, PPK, Dinan (MHD will be in open beta in about a week) MHD is the way to go but you can research yourself.
Bolt-ons - most options that fit the 335xi will fit. Intercooler, chargepipe, downpipe, turbo upgrades, ect.
Suspension - There are options but they are limited. 2. Dangers? This question is a little confusing. I assume you mean known failures that should be considered when maintaining the car? Oil filter housing, tensioner pulley, oil pan gasket, and coolant expansion tank are all common issues. 3. Bimmertech sells retro fits if you are looking for a nicer setup than you can find at Bestbuy. 4. Many companies that offer coding can also update your navigation if that is what you're referring to. 5. No not really. If fuel economy was a concern then the 28i would be the best option. |

Thanks for the reply.
I guess mostly the mods you say do round out well. My only concern with dangers is the longevity of the vehicle, I've seen some posts that give credence to some things but not sure how I should react.
Wouldn't I just need to borrow someone's nav disk or is it electronic?
I'm concerned with gas because I don't sit there and floor it all day. Plus some electronic mods do help with fuel economy. There isn't wrong with maxing out the best scenario for it.
I guess what I really wish I had are two things. Back up camera (even though I do have nav) and sport seats. I can't stay in the seat for whatever reason Evan as a bigger guy...
Thanks for the reply and hope to see some changes soon!
