What mods are you planning to do for the remainder of the year to your car? Now that Spring is here and Summer is close, I'm planning to:

1) Get an M-tech rear bumper, paint it jet black, and paint the rear diffuser matte black.
2) R1 Concept Sport rotors
3) M5 Mirrors (I want these so bad)

I swear it never ends. Money Pit! =P

Yeah ... the M5 mirrors will completely change the overall look ...

I got my Hartge front splitter painted and will install it sometime soon in place of my old one and maybe Multimedia input w/ front+rear camera sometime this fall.

That would be it ( yeah sure ...) ... this year ...it'll never end ...

These are already coming during next two weeks..
1. Replace DPF with straight pipes
2. Custom made ECU tuning @ dyno. Result should be something between 340-370hp and 700-800nm (not a real power, just diesel shit )

And these I´m planing to do during this summer..
3. H&R Coilovers with Bilstein pumps
4. M5 Trunk spoiler

And hopefully these are coming somewhere in future
4. M5 mirrors
5. Exhaust modify, maybe quads..
6. Some good-quality and light 20" wheels with wide lip..

edit. +of course fully m5-look is always in my dreams

If someone finds a way to add some honest "boost" (I'm talking positive atmosphere people) to a N52B30 and not have it burn more than the normal 1quart every 7000 miles?! I'm there!

Simple Gene, they look and perform great, but don't fill up my wheels like M5 brakes will
