Seriously.
C, might as well get the M Tech kit while you're at it.

Trunk Finisher will be here tomorrow. Getting it painted and mounted Saturday.
AFE CAI should be here next Tuesday. Will install that immediately. ECU remap will take place on Thursday and get installed the following Monday, upon my return.
M-Tech kit could be the week after...
This forum sucks. I'm spending too much money on my damn car again. Thanks guys. I appreciate the love.

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
C., although not as worth as on a turboed car, the remap is still worth having on yours.
On a normally aspirated petrol car you need to get away from plain figure thinking.
Although 15-20 horses and about 25 Nm torque increase are realistic, you get much more than that, namely better driveability.
The map will also even out existing flat spots through the rev range and make the throttle response and pick up considerably better.
So as a package it is more than just 15 hp.
With a really good CAI (definitely only pulling cold air) and a proper exhaust system and the map harmonised to them, 30 hp are not unrealistic at all.
Just a back box won't do for that, though.
I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with it.
Good luck
