Hello everyone, I am a new owner of a 2009 BMW 328xi. Its black with 83k miles and is my first BMW. I am looking to modify it and hope to get a lot of inspiration here.

Congrats!

Shes a beauty, welcome aboard! What will you start with to mod? This girl would love some new 18/19" shoes what do you say?

Black grill. Amber reflector delete. 🙂

Have the same thing - it is a beautiful car - hopefully you will have as good luck with yours as I have had with mine. Love the small M style spoiler on the rear - just the right touch. Plan on some good Akebono pads soon - the brake dust will drive you crazy.

Welcome and congrats on your new ride.

Go to the NA Engine (non-turbo) / Drivetrain / Exhaust Modifications section for performance mod ideas if you feel like adding a little more ‘GO’ power.

Welcome, fellow 2009 owner! Enjoy in good health!

Welcome! You will find no shortage of inspiration here. Nice ride! It's like looking at a blank chalkboard. Take lots of pics as it sits now, it won't look like that long.

As long as you are well-funded mods are okay if you have play money. Most affordable mods do nothing for performance. If not well funded, it's best to allocate funds for maintenance and repair. If you don't/can't DIY, high-mileage BMWs don't satify and are burdendsome for owners who are financially challenged.

No offense intended, just relaying stituations that pan out over time.

My first mod always!!

Welcome to the fam!

Jet Black is the fastest color....and a labor of love to keep clean.

The first mod I suggest is keep a bottle of Optimum No Rinse detailer and a microfiber towel in the trunk.

Gratz on the new ride and welcome to the madness! Take care of her and she'll take care of you.
