How much have you guys spent so far on mods for your car?

I'm at: $5500 and unfortunately i'm looking to spend more because the Mod-Bug has bit me in the arse!

I didn't know you could actually use the word invest and car in the same sentence. Its more like thrown, wasted, spent.

I have about 4 grand in mods, spending another 2.5 on a pro nav system but my M-ASK system was hosed so it's a replacement/repair + mod. And I've got another 2 grand in general maintenance and repairs. I can assure you that my next BMW will still be under warranty.

Jesus, why did I even bother adding this up, now I'm depressed. Oh well, I do so love my car, even though my bank account (and wife!) hate it!

My total spend is $60.00 for 545 front grill ( aftermarket )
I buy gasoline every 10 days, tires once a year, car wash every 2 weeks and oil change every 10K miles with synthetic oil. I have an issue with a BST cable but I will let my independent mechanic take care of it since the BMW dealer wants a leg which I need to play softball and basketball every week.

Between both of my E60's? You don't even want to know. It's ludicrous! I could have probably purchased another E60 with the amounts I've spent on both cars. I'm not kidding.

I hate this forum and I hate you guys. My wife also hates you, because I spend more time on here with you, than her.

Aside from wheels, this is all I'm doing to the car. No zoom-zoom mods, no wings or fins or anything else that would look out of place in conservative Orange County.
