Best Mods for streets use

Hey Guys I have a 08 E93 M3 which I'm madly in love with

But cuz it's old so everything seem to be like they went out of shape now so I had switched from OEM 19" wheels to 18" Apex EC7 265/35/18F and 285/35/19R, installed KW V3 and those are all I had done so far

Are there any other mods which you guys suggest me to have to achieve the most comfortable street drive but also capable for weekend warrior?

Any advises are greatly appreciated

Track how often? What do you find lacking?

How about a front bbk and some track pads to start

Why did you mismatch front and rear wheel diameters?

Tune, intake, pulley, x- pipe. Or supercharger. Give the heavy convertible some go.

My bad it actually is 265/35/18F and 285/35/18R
I mean to ask you guys about the suspension mods only like bushing, subframe, sway bar, toe arm and such
A lot of them need to be repair now and I'm wondering should I just go with OEM or any suggest aftermarket mods should I do

Car is PLENTY capable with what you have. Unless you are time trialing for points or prize, anything more you'll spend will get you diminished returns and you wont be FASTER, then you will have to live with whines, NVH etc. Keep it as is, get the mod bug out of your head, save the $$. If you want a faster car, get the F80 m3 otherwise no use spending your hard earned cash on this as its a very sorted car.
