Hello all....
Its been almost $9k on mods including the Kit, wheels, short shifter and all on my 545i
Today I ordered the PIAA fog lights.....i just cant stop............am I fool? I know everybody is spending...but I am not sure is it kind of adictive that every month you have to do something....
I spend equal time doing mods and convincing wife....cant hide anything...
I am really worried about myself.....Every time I order something....I decide...this is the last thing and nothing after that....How you people restrict yourself from ordering new things?
It feels good when you drive but reminds me of the money and time I have put in those mods..
Please help...I am serious.

It's normal. Everyone has their own bit.. I have friends who waste money on gambling, others on pc stuff, others games and etc. After all you drive that car every day and look on it as it is a part of you. I don't see anything wrong with this tbh..

I know what you mean man!!! I too have said I will quit after I buy this next mod, then low and behold just as soon as I get the new mod, I see some other mod I want to buy!!!

I think we all have the same problem, what seems to help sometimes for me is keeping myself away from e60.net for acouple of days. Cause when I see that another member gets a new mod on their car makes me want to mod mines like crazy 
Try it. I don't guarantee any of the symptoms will disappear but,
maybe the modding will slow down a little.
