Where to begin on mods:
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.

True words coming from a member with a ton of fly mods. The Xman walks the walk when it comes to mods.
. That's a bunch of BS, I tell you.

I told my wife last night that i could drop 10k in about 15 minutes on this car.
I called a dealer this morning about the Dinan remap. I like the idea of their warranty. Ultimately, I'm more concerned about performance than appearance. I guess its because I understand that getting the m tech kit will result in wheels and suspension. I've thought about getting wheels first, but I REALLY want a lip or bumper.
so far, i've had the windows tinted, pulled the 535 badge and gotten a V1.
I have never had the desire to do so much to a brand new car.

Might want to tell your wife to plan the intervention now

My Ride: 2004 Mystic Blue Metallic 545I
I've got the same problem, but I look at my car way too much, I think it's not healthy. but I couldn't decide where to start. I ended up starting with blacking out my taillights, tint, and matte black grill. and I just ordered black emblems. But mainly my problem is i never have enough money to do big mods, aka MTech kit, Wheels, Turbo, so on and so on. I have so many ideas, and a picture in my head of what I want it to look like. It's just such a long list, It going to take foreveerrrr
