Any thoughts on a starting point for mods?

C'mon, you know that a massively unaffordable car payment and crippling amounts of debt incurred buying stuff you don't need are all part of the American Dream. Sensibilities be damned - go out and buy a new car!

Back on topic - if you're happy with you car I'd leave it as is. If you do have the mod bug, you might notice the most benefits from lighter wheels and perhaps some suspension upgrades.

he's asking for mod suggestions once he pays off his car (perhaps this month)

Martin: you'll get an abundance of suggestions shortly...just remember that it all comes down to what you like...

dealing with reputable members on this forum is key IMO: i.e.: acuteperformance and trinity autosport

GL with you mods Martin, and a preemptive congrats on owning your e60

If the dealer will not replace the hazy chrome trim around the windows under warranty that may be where I start. I am pretty old school. I like chrome. B pillars are hazy also.
