My Ride: 2008 550i
I had an E46 M3 till about 10 months ago that had about 8K worth of mods. Took a hiatus from BMW (hated every minute of it) for the 10 months and now in a 08 550. I definitely have the mod bug really biting at me. Been browsing the forum to see what others have done and how to do them. Lots of you guys have done nice changes. With the M3, I was more into wanting to UP my performance and handling. With the 550 (even though it seems just as fast or faster than the E46 M3) I am more interested in beautification of the car.
Briefly, the ones I like....quad exhaust tips, sport (?M5) style mirrors, CF lip, and potentially CAI.

I can relate!!! My wife does comment on how much she likes driving my car though! Fortunately I leave for work before her!
