Let me be a little contrarian here.
My top 5 mods:
1. Center mounted cupholders
2. Thicker steering wheel
3. Touchscreen NAV
4. Oil Temperature gauge (to replace to the useless energy control/fuel consumption dial under the tach)
5. And, of course, a limited slip differential (a la the M Variable Differential Lock found on the ///M models)

well, I'll just give my humble opinion...I personally think the machined finish on the HRE's actually looks complete where as on the I forged it still has a lot of untouched edges. The hub area in particular stands on the IF's.
