My Ride: 2008 BMW 535i - Platingrau Metallic
First time BMW owner! What next?!
I have always wanted a BMW and finally was able to pull the trigger on a 2008 535i (Pictures Below)
It has comfort access among other things but I really want to add some cool things to it I just don't know where to start so any help would be appreciated!
I already plan on ordering the follow:
Sprint Booster
Juice Box (which one is recommended?)
Angel Eyes (which one is recommended?)
New air intake (which one is recommended?)
also plan on getting some rims and tires but I really don't know where to start. I have no idea which sizes will fit on my car and have never really shopped for rims being I was always a truck driver. I hear VMR V710's are nice but will 20inch rims fit? I'm wondering if there are rim/tire packages for this wheel and have researched but I just honestly don't know which size I need without having to shave my wheel well. I really like the gunmetal color but maybe it wouldnt look good with my current paint job. So much stuff to take in so thats why I was hoping some of you guys could help!
What specific mods would you do?

congrats on the new purchase! Customization can be never-ending. It's all a matter of what you want to prioritize. For some of us, its power, some its handling, for some its appearance. Me personally, I always like to get a car looking mostly the way I want it to before going under the hood.
You can check my signature for mods, but I would say that the biggest difference maker in regards to appearance is lowered suspension and wheels.
To answer your questions, 20's will fit but there are lots of factors to be considered like offset, width and such. You may or may not need to roll/shave fenders depending on wheels and car height. If you can't decide on a wheel color I usually advise silver if you really don't want to wait. You really can never go wrong with silver on any color. Burger Motorsports provides a lot of performance parts for our cars. I went with CREE LED bulbs for my halos.
Use the search function on the forum. There's a ton of info that has been brought up over and over again. Good luck!
