I prefer to switch the driver's oh-s**t handle (when does the driver ever use that??) for the sunglasses holder. ECS Tuning has one.

You got the $100 gift card from BMW NA too!? Mine had a note with it that said "dear valued customer, we feel terrible about the shitty design of our rod bearings in your M3, our most sincere apologies"

No seriously,

Y-cable and Bavarian Motorsport's winshield sunshade...

Boom!

K&N air filter. 79$.

Some love it. Some hate it. But you can't improve on the stock intake design, and I've had them in every car I've ever owned without issue.

My car doesn't even have a female screw hole to put a clutch stop in it. I didn't know you could put one in these cars and still be able to start the car. Had one in my other M's but there's no where to install it in the E90?

Anyway, shift knob, painted front bumper reflectors, LED AE upgrade and/or e92lighting's LED front indicator bulbs are likely the best <$100 mods.

You replace the OEM clutch stop - reusing the same hole.

Ross Bentley's books make nice gifts for the performance driver in the house too.
