Christmas ideas?

The wifey is asking me for ideas of what she can get me for crimbo. There is absolutely nothing I need. So was think maybe a small mod for the car.

She would be cool to spend circa £250, I don’t really want any external mods (not my bag) but maybe the subs could do with an upgrade as I already have the alpine thingy.

Any suggestions (sensible ones)

Three great ideas, the evolve thing is a corker. I must admit I have been trying my hardest to avoid the temptation of a map but I just think its got to be done

Nice one chaps

depends on how bad the paintwork on your car is?

If it has some swirl marks, defects then I would go ahead with it whenever.. You would also get a sealant + wax on the paintwork which would protect against winter crap on the roads.

Just come of the phone from my insurers and they claim I would not get cover for any engine upgrade. But if evolve and Co claim that even BMW cant detect a new map how would insurers ever be able too??

I am not suggesting for one second that I would do this without having the appropriate insurance cover
