How do I put this out there.....

I was going to look into getting a Supercharger. Big upgrade, and was willing to spend 7k'ish.
But after calling around, No one is making a Supercharger for a 2004 545i. Ok.. I can deal with that. So I moved on....

I then thought, Exuast. yeah.. exaust. So I looked around, and wanted a full exuast, and make it a true dual, Headers and everything.
But, the price tag was going to be upwards of 13K, For 13k I can get a new'er M5 engine, V10 and added horseys. So I'm not doing that one either .. So moving on...

So now I'm at the crossroads, not sure what do to, BUT, I want to mod something

on my ride.
I thought you guys could give me some serious options for me to think about.

Maybe upgrade suspension, breaks, body kit.... not sure, give me some opinions please.\
I have about 6K to play with (usd 6K).

Thanks and I'll let you know what I decided on and this thread is going around.

I would do M-Tech Kit, with a nice Quad exhaust set up, a drop and some wheels. Oh and M mirrors if you have any money left over.

Finish your Dinan stage three, Mtech, splitter, dual exhaust diffuser, M mirrors, KW V3 coil overs and slap some 20's on.

Also call me about setting up the meet.

You've got to be kidding me. The only exhaust you could find costs $14,000? How do they justify charging that much? Sounds a lot like my wife's $1300 purses. It's $10 to make it, and $1290 for the name. If women would wisen up and stop buying the shit, the price would go down. Being women, that'll never happen. Being males, we should not only refuse to pay that much for fricken exhaust, we should also laugh in the faces of those who think they can charge that much. $14,000 for prolly 10% increase if you're REALLY lucky
