Default Upgrades worth the investment?

I have a 2008 E60 and am interested to know which upgrades are worth making to the vehicle. I want to get the most out of it but I am not trying to turn it into a race car either.

anything you do to a car is NOT an investment.

That being said, which model E60 do you have?

Very true! you will never get your money back from mods but they are fun to have

Investment is the wrong word... I guess the better question is what upgrades are worth making?

I have the XI version of the E60

Could you be more specific on what you have? It makes a difference on upgrades. Like if you have a 528 or 530 it would be useless to make any engine mods. Just can't really get much more out of the I6.

Let's start him off with an M5 emblem. That should give him enough horsepower to move on to the next phase.. ;-)

Given the all-wheel drive info for 2008 and an E60, we can narrow it down to the 528xi sedan or 535xi sedan or wagon. The addition of the turbo offers many more options for performance enhancement.

Don't be shy, tell them what you steer and they will help you spend your money to personalize it.
