Hey guys! So first off, I'm new here and this will be my first post.

I'm a youngin, only 17 years old with currently no job but i am a proud owner of an 06 525i I was wondering what were the best and least expensive mods out there? If you could help me out with prices and what not i'd be greatly appreciative or even refer me to a similar thread. Plus i just want to know what you guys think a good starting place would be on my bone stock beamer

First on my list- 5% tint on back windows -$200

euro sticker, to cover the amber in the headlights $35 or you could do the sig/euro stick package, I thinks it's $85. That a good start.

RPi Scoop and filter around $200, I believe. I dont know too many mods that you can do without having a job to pay for it, lol.

Why, I think the amber is cool. I wouldn't touch the headlights and instead darken or tint the rears. BMW has a custom tint rear light package which looks nice especially on a black car.

First, welcome to this forum. its a great place to learn about these cars. Second, It's "bimmer", not "beamer" (beemer). a "beemer" is a bmw motorcycle.

Since you have a black car get gloss black grills, IMO matte black grills on gloss black car looks dumb. Luckly a dealership is having an online sale and you can get them for about 80-90 dollars.
