What to do with a $1000?

BMWdon · 12-29-2008, 10:17 PM

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.

Performance: Powerchip, RPI scoops, afe filter,

Cosmetic: Matte Black kidneys, side grills, led angel eyes, anything vorsteiner.

There's a lot of things you can do. All depends on preference.

Some upgrade to the lighting angel eyes, cornering lights.
Exterior: Matte Black grills & Side grills,M3 Badge Emblem, Bumper Reflectors, Lumma CF Mirror covers.
Performance: aFe Filter, RPI intake Scoops, Pulleys, AA Short Shifter, AA chip software.

Or why not save a little more and go for an exhaust!

Those are some good starting areas

gosh, can you buy anything with a 1000. An exhaust is like minimum of 2k.

BMWdon · 12-30-2008, 11:01 PM

Wow! Thanks for all the input guys, alot of good ideas. I am thinking going more towards aesthetics till its broken in.

I keep you guys posted on where the credit card slides.

deposit for wheels

omfgitzadam · 12-31-2008, 12:21 AM

my number one rule is to always do suspension FIRST! too many ricers buying wheels + lips and still driving around like a 4x4. at least a dumped m3 will look even better

$1k on an all out snowboarding setup. I did! HEHEH......

tightie · 12-31-2008, 11:50 AM

rpi scoops, black grills, h&r springs, spacers.
you should still have a few hundreds left over..
tint the windows i guess?

if you want to drive down to EuroRev (Socal) , I'm sure I can call and set something up for you

ssii · 01-01-2009, 12:59 PM

$1000 worth of gas, just drive the damn thing, its such a blast stock.

But I would save a bit more and get an exhaust.
