You can buy an 01-02 M Roadster for about $12-14K.
Just think about that.

All good suggestions.
Except maybe the E N V Y

I was thinking about what you guys said about the S/C. I'll put that on hold till I can get some feed back on wtf is going on with that stuff.

I will go ahead with the LSD in spring.
Upgrade my throtle body Dinan, and finish off the stage 3 remap.

What do you think of grinding down the door handles, and making the rear door suicide doors?

Was also thinking of some front and rear spoilers, including the roof.

And I like the idea of a CF grill but I won't have anymore then that as far as CF on my ride, will that look stupid?

Keep the ideas coming please.
Sping is a ways off !!!

10K is a lot to drop on an 04 IMO, but GL with your mods. Pls do not shave down the door handles or make the rears doors suicide doors, unless you are going to throw some hydraulics in and enter your e60 into a low-rider show. My point is that those mods should look good on american classic cars, not a euro sports luxury sedan. Keep it fast and aggressive looking

Cool

did i hear CD? what is he a 85 yr old grandma...you might as well go buy some savings bonds , youll get a whopping $300 (@3%) over the next yr in your CD. then youll pay taxes and come home with 200 bucks.

blow the 10k on mods.....some rims first...then pick up a body kit (choice is yours, there all good)...get that sh!t detailed and spend the rest on alcohol, women and gambling. ahh, to be young! GL

+100000000000000000 No on the shaved door handles and suicide doors; and Lambo doors too in case you were heading there next.

As for the money, I assume this is expendable income aside from your other savings/investments so I say have fun modding your car with it.

Ok screw it then

Blow it all.

I would get some 19's cause with 20's you lose performance and have to worry about potholes more so.

OEM 166 or 167 wheels
RDSport quad exhaust
Rieger Bodykit

I would save that money and get an M by next year.

You can find 06 M5 for about 45k right now.

ps: do not get OEM 166/167. They are nice wheels but are out-played.
