What Should First Mod be for my new 2007 black on black 335i coupe

allen grabovetsky · 03-06-2012, 11:48 PM

any help from you guys on what should be my first project onto my new girl?

allen grabovetsky · 03-06-2012, 11:50 PM

btw i should add that the car has 60,000 miles on it and 100k extended warranty so i don't want to add anything that would void it!

DIY black grills and black shadowline.

Whorning · 03-07-2012, 01:09 AM

Black kidney grills 100%

j2m · 03-07-2012, 01:25 AM

Need some pics of your ride to help you out

reflectors, kidneys, black trim (if you have chrome)...

Timothy J · 03-07-2012, 02:30 AM

Start with the inexpensive items such as black kidney grills and black corner reflectors.

skatenc123 · 03-07-2012, 03:40 AM

tint.

sammy_0559 · 03-07-2012, 07:17 AM

JB4 nd DCI

thats where i started. i say go performance wise...then looks my exterior is bone stock , but not under the hood

ChasVS · 03-07-2012, 08:46 AM

Aero front lip.

This is mine before I changed out the kidney grills and plasti-dipped the lower mesh.

If you don't want to black out the window trim, just replace the inner portion of the kidney grills with flat black. That gives a chrome surround to the black grill and matches nicely with the silver window trim.

Here's a few Interior Mods you can do.

CF Trim
Performance Shifter ( auto)
LCI paddles
Aluminum peddle covers.
Updated iDrive Controller

CJ421 · 03-07-2012, 09:35 AM

Enjoy the car stock as long as you can - only change something if you think it could be improved!

I am a big fan of the BMW Performance line of parts for modding.

eric@helix · 03-07-2012, 09:39 AM

First address the go, then the show.

Tune
Intercooler
Suspension

Then cosmetics.

datbimmerdoe · 03-09-2012, 12:32 AM

I bought the controller from Tischer BMW (Getbmwparts.com).

It's plug-n-play so no coding needed. You will need the updated console trim and the controller bracket to complete the installation. Not cheap, but awesome in convenience and looks.

Actually, they GO quite nicely out the door. Show is one of the cheapest forms of mods you can do to individualize the car to your taste...

BMWFanatic2008 · 03-09-2012, 09:28 AM

We need more information... basically it depends on the configuraiton of your car (do you have Sport package, auto vs manual, etc)

wdlfbio · 03-09-2012, 11:35 AM

Swap out for Glossy kidney grilles and painted front reflectors. You'll be under $200 in parts and should really enjoy the new, subtle change in her front end. That'll buy you more seat time while pondering performance mods.

I'm assuming it's tinted already. I can't see even an 80 year old granny not tinting a black on black

tanginaglaz · 03-09-2012, 04:49 PM

JB+ since its cheap and easy to remove before the dealer visits. Later you can move up to the big boy tunes.
