If you had a few thousand $ and an E92...
What would you do?
Wheels? Exhaust? Brakes? Exterior? Interior?

First and most affordable mods would be clear bra ($1600), tint($350), and clear bumper reflectors ($80).
Then I'd do the interior LED xenon light kit ($100). As for the remaining $2700 or so, I'd probably do the air filter and exhaust. Cheers!

I would def say a set of rims, a nice drop, and a affordable exhaust system.
Since I already have clear bra, painted reflectors and matte black grills. But if your M3 is completely stock and brand new, I would suggest these 1st. |

A few thousand is rather vague. What are we talking? Three grand? With a few thousand dollars, I'd probably opt for a nice suspension set-up (..2k or less....probably 2k+ for a setup that works with EDC) and bank the rest. With a few grand, it would be quite difficult to buy a really nice set of wheels & tires, and I am not concerned with changing my exhaust system nor modding my interior. The OEM brakes are fine for the type of driving that I do (..daily driver/light track duty), so upgrading them for a performance BBK would be overkill. The only exterior mods that I would consider are a front lip/rear decklid.

+1 LTW wheels, some good track rubber, a data logger/camera, and better brake pads. If there was any left over, I'd tint the windows.

I'd say some wheels & exhaust or just some exterior parts like spoiler & lips. You could also do suspension but I would get some wheels first. Let us know if you guys need a quote for anything.

He wouldn't be able to purchase all of those items with a few thousand dollars. The LTW wheels alone would probably run him 4k. Subtract the wheels, and he's good to go. Good suggestion though!

Slippery slope. Once you start it is very hard to stop. I'm staying stock on this one as long as I can, except for some cheap light 18" wheels and tires for track use only.
