Question $1,000 to spend. What do you get?

I have an '08 328i. Its my first BMW, and needless to day, I've become enfatuated with this car. I just ordered the Garmin BMW navi, and got some all-weather floormats. I'd like to ask those on this board,

If you had $1,000 to spend, what cosmetic mods (mostly interior I'd guess, but exterior too) would you get on this car to get the most bang for your buck? Obviously, everyone has their own taste, but I'm curious to see what people would get with a limited budget to make the car stand out!

Thanks for any input!

first things first. Get some suspension. For only a couple hundred more you can get some KW V1 or ST coilovers. Or you can save a little money and get HR Springs with shocks/struts. I guess since you have a sedan you might be able to get away with having wheels on stock suspension more than an e92, but don't do that.
