Hello BMW enthusiast,
I am new to German made engineering and also new to the BMW platform. I joined on here to get guidance on my journey with my newly used BMW that I purchased. I have a 2005 545i with 60K. Any suggestions on upgrades for exterior or engine would be greatly appreciated. I have been replying to topics but never formerly introduced myself. So hope to see you guys around!

to the forum and congrats on your new to you toy 
.For exterior: An M-tech kit
, splitters, diffusers, and spoilers choiches can be made via quick browse thrut the aprts, mods, and accessories section as well and the classified section. Lighting: fogs and angel eye upgrades (HID or LED)Engine upgrades: RPI scoops (intake set-up), sprint booster (doesn't directly add HP's but increases the throttle repsonse), exhaust (dual or quad set-up).
I think I've mentioned the popular/most suggested mods...I am sure other members will chime in...everyone here is good in suggesting on how to spend $$$
GL and happy mod'n and motoring

Welcome Will. For me... exhaust is a priority. Relatively inexpensive mod and makes "the drive" much more enjoyable. Not a performance enhancement but a "fun" enhancement. Wheels impact exterior look the most, IMO. Enjoy!
