Sheesh! $2k in daycare per month. I got my first kid on the way, and the amount you stated puts into perspective how much having kid cost these day.

Oh, I spent about 2K in mods for 2014.

$2k, but I can get almost 100% of it back if/when I sell it.

Edward · 02-26-2015, 01:03 PM

free oem can from friend
$250 to cut it up and install
$50 to reinstall my stock one cuz modded cans suck
$1330 for michelin pss but that's not quite a mod.

$128 for an AA air filter and cleaning kit or something
Spent $60 so far this year for coding.

Looking for an MPE now.

Well technically it already has. Isn't a SC worth it? You know the prices have come down and it's a steal

I purchased 2x s65's. Swapped one into a fully built 1 series (bbk,ohlins club sports, recaro profi spa, cage, fbo, hre, carbon roof, hood, trunk, door cards, wing, akra) and i put another bbk, HRE's and iND interior on my e92.

check...and...mate...

I spent over $40K last year racing... an E36. I'm looking at spending ~10% of that on the E92 this year and I'm sure I'll catch sh*t for it. Thankfully my husband has finally learned a $400 Coach bag isn't anything to give me grief about!

The answer to this question is always.. not enough to be satisfied

besiktas · 02-26-2015, 03:49 PM

1.5k on Test pipes, Stage 2 & GTS tune

All in 2014? Good grief that would be a lot!

All I done is a stroker, custom BMW performance seats, iNd interior, KW's, Awron, Escort detector/jammer, paint, etc...(in 2014)....

Already had BBK, full Akra, SC and CF parts.

sadly all done in 2014. haha.

Which stroker did you go with? Lucky you got bmw performance seats too. they are not producing anymore and passenger side seats for the e92 are sold out so you cant get a full set anymore.

I've seen your 1M Clone at Performance Technic - what a monster. Is a supercharger in the future on your Dinan stroker??

Gintani, 4.5. Not done yet.
Yeah I heard that on the seats...

I was planning on originally putting a dinan 4.6 in the 1 series and bought an e92 with a 4.6 for the option to swap but I can honestly now say after having them both that I really like the dinan motor in the e92. It's amazing.

Maybe I will put a stroker in the 1er some day too but I'm in no hurry. It's ~450lbs lighter than my e92 so it's plenty quick with a fbo 4.0L

I knew our hobby was expensive, but good grief!!!

I've got about $12k in mods for the E92, but that was spread over 2 years. Haven't done much yet this year, although I did just drop $1k+ on brake maintenance. Will also probably buy 275/30/19 PSS in the near future for the fronts.

Also getting an itch to mod the E36, but that's relatively cheap compared to the E9x mods

ddboy06 · 02-26-2015, 08:58 PM

Spent 10k in 2014. Should of gotten an SC
