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
