Get some HID fogs, euro stickers, shadowline trim, paint the grills black yourself, and maybe could find a good deal on here for some aftermarket rims like a trade for your factory rims + cash or something..

Shlooky, I'm thinking about tinting my tails but wasn't sure what % I should do. I noticed u mentioned that BMW has a custom tint rear light package. Can u or anyone else direct me where I can find this? Thanks!

1) Charcoal filter deletion mod, open your airbox where the air filter is located, in the upper housing there's a Charcoal Filter - remove it, it's useless and robs power. Cost? Free
2) Get some black vinyl from BMWshadowline.com and cover that nasty chrome around the windows. Cost? $22.00/roll
3) Euro stickers from Akalius. cost - $25
4) RPI Scoop and BMC filter. $200
5) Lighting mods from John@motorcepts. Cost - whatever you choose to buy, mild to wild
Those 5 will start you off right

dont waste your money on pointless stuff, do not get the scoops or filter becuase its $200 and you get maybe 1-2hp which is a waste of money and the stickers are cool from far away but from up close it looks like a sticker. either save your money and get some coilovers and a set of cheap wheels or get lighting mods like the licence plate lights.
