Im dying to do something to this car...

I can't decide where to start and the options are killing me.

I feel better now to have gotten that off my chest.

Thanks.

Wow, a post like this should generate more responses than a hot hick offering her virginity on eBay. Good luck with the decision

How much you want to spend? DPE or Klassen Wheels.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

First thing you need to do is take some pictures and post them up so we can tell where to start.

That 535 has a lot of potential. Depends on if you want performance or visual mods first?

Hmmm. Where to begin on mods:

If I owned a 535, my number one priority mod would be the Juicebox to gain big on power.

Sprintbooster, Juicebox (for 535) M Tech Kit, Wheels (I like Style 167, 172 amd 166 wheels if staying with BMW wheels and there are a million great choices from other manufacturers), ECU remap, Rear spoiler, roof spoiler, tinted tails, RPI scoops, RPI exhaust, Dinan power mods (ECU remap, CAI, thottle body), HID fogs, LED interior lights, LED backup lights, blacked out grills, pulleys, CF trim pieces, lowering the car, quad exhausts with cherry bomb mufflers (see threads on D/K's ride). Bottom line is that there are a huge amount of mods you can do. Appearance-wise, the big bang ones are M-Tech kit and a new set of wheels.

No prob with that. I've never been accused of not having a ton of hot air.
