Question What to do with a $1000?

Ok now that I have my new 08 Sedan, 6spd, Sparkling Graphite w/Black Extended Leather, Technology Package, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, Moonroof, Sunsahdes, PDC, Premium Sound, Satellite and Ipod.

What are the best modifications to do with a $1000 max budget?

Any input and help would be appreciated.

Don

Don,

There are tons of routes you can go. If you are looking for aesthetics, I would do a Vorsteiner front lip or rear diffuser. For performance, I recommend a filter, pulley and software upgrade from Active Autowerke. Or you can save a bit more and go with a set of V710 wheels to change the look. Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions!

How does the car feel after you did the upgrades?

Get a short shifter, H&R springs (install yourself and save some money), GP angel eyes and get your front reflectors painted.

I would buy spare tires, those PS2 will be worn out fast and will be out of stock soon.

In the late 90s, most E36M3 owners unable to find the rear Michelin 245/40/17 tire

Get some Rogue Power Pulleys and free up some power, then pocket the rest and save it so you can upgrade to something great when that turns into $2000 or so
