+1 can't pick just one:
GIAC Stage II and the BMW PE are my favorite so far. Soon to come are; P3cars boost gauge. Im converting this from my 135 with a custom housing for the ashtray I may also install the Umnitza orion V2 angel eyes

My most favorite has to be Cobb tune. I love the power and practicality. The second best would be the 19" staggered M6 reps with larger front and rear foot print. The third would be a tie between my RennArt catback exhaust and BMW M performance racing alacantra with red/blue stitiching flat bottom steering wheel with M3 retrofit paddles with + for upshifts and - for down shifts. The steering wheel feels thick and soft perfect for spirited driving.....and sound of RennArt exhaust is nice and aggressive without become fart can nasty.
Next up on my list might be down pipes and M3 front and back complete control arms.

everyone bashes muffler deletes, but i gotta say it's def one of my favorites
obviously there's drone, but i rarely even notice it... it's like you get used to it it sounds absolutely amazing, it's cheap, and you can just wake up one day and decide you want to do it or change it back in like an hour plus the snap, crackle, pop is awesome

JB4 because it makes the cars lack of power a little better. Second best mod is having AAA number in the glove box.

Do all of you people (except two) have automatics or something? CDV delete.
I did it on my 2006, and when I traded that in for a 2009, I hated driving the 2009 until I got it in the garage to pull that sucker. I did that before redoing the AA tune, and haven't done the 3stage yet, but man, that CDV blows. |

Hard but I'd have to say muffler delete with VMR 710s in gunmetal a close second. The MFD I get to hear every time I drive and always puts a smile on my face. I also put 3.5" dimisa tips which look narsty. The wheels are merely a cosmetic so while it does totally change the look of the car, I only get to appreciate this when I'm not driving.
Muffler delete ftw. I thought it would be way too loud and was pleasantly surprised. Literally the perfect amount of loudness. |

I'd like to bump this old thread up, interested in seeing what people have to say these days - plus I'm going to be adding a few mods this winter as i've been fighting with myself on whether to buy a new bimmer or just improve the one I already have - mods, in theory, are cheaper than a car payment lol...
Out of my Mod list my favorites by category: Performance - MHD and DCI (gotta love hearing the turbos spool) Exterior - blackout grilles made a huge difference for cheap IMO Interior - While the CF wrap definitely updates the interior from the wood trim, I'm an audiophile and get the most daily enjoyment out of the improved sound from the MusicarNW - i had base audio previously Full Mod List: blackout grills Black Plasti-dipped Msport wheels LED angel eye bulbs DCI FMIC Outlets MHD stage 1+ tune MusicarNW Level 2 + sub audio CF vinyl wrapped interior Charge pipe and tial BOV Planned list: -Coilovers -Spacers -DPs -Inlets -xHP tranny tune -Bump to MHD stg 2+ or custom The Maybe list: -E90 to F80 front bumper conversion (mine has a small indentation at the bottom and needs replaced anyway) -CSL trunk if i can find used -Rear diffuser |

Most recently is the MHD flash because it make my car go *BRAP BRAP BRAP*.
All jokes aside, I had a Cobb(not supported anymore) and the MHD tune feels amazing! Also -lowering on coils is a must -FMIC

I love LOVE the wheel compared to the stock sport version. As previously stated by someone else, the everyday feel of it is a real pleasure. |

1. Installed MHD tune with logging and diagnostics options.
Reason: Performance boost and ability to diagnose problems and save money chasing problems. 2. Painted the stock Style 189 wheels gloss black. Reason: Ties the bottom half of the car together with all the rest of the gloss black trim on my Alpine White baby. 3. Changed the 134k mile tranny fluid out with new ZF fluid and filter. Reason: Harsh and delayed shifting resolved. Old fluid was very dark and smelled like monkey piss.

Every one I have done was worth it, and there have been many. As was my latest, the Bilstein B12 upgrade. The sport suspension was ok, the B12 is just frigging right.
