Haha glad to see there are others on the same boat. I've done little things to my M3 that I can actually enjoy everyday. Did the ZHP knob (from previous car so it's free), rep ZCP splitters (a must IMHO) and bypass OEM exhaust mod. Oh and a $700 throttle actuator. So I'm out for a while.
What I REALLY want are 19" MORR V8.2. Needless to say, I can't justify buying one of those yet when I have to spend a few thousand overhauling the E30 Still love my M3 though. I was just thinking this morning there's no other car I'd really want other than the new M6. But in terms of reliability, looks, performance, sound, it's the perfect car for me right now. So I'm more than happy with it.

Oh I'm not that cool unfortunately. I've got a 325iC that I essentially found on the side of the road. Got it as a project car.... you get what you ask for I guess!!

I was dismayed how the mats that came with my m3 did not have any M3 logos. But I try to be practical also and not waste my mats. So instead of getting M3 mats I found this china made M3 aluminum plates for $7 bucks and installed them. I think they look great for a small fee. Maybe when I pay it off in five I can mod with cooler branded stuff.

When I was in my 20's I didn't care and spent thousands and thousands and was in car magazines, won at HIN, etc. Now that I am over 30 I have no motivation since I was at the top of that game in 2004-2006. Its boring now. lol House and X5 fill the void now.

OP are you planning on keeping the car long term? If you are then dont stress! Take your time cause at the end of the day modding is not a race. I for one am planning on Supercharging once warranty is out, but that will be 3-4 years aways..

Over the years, I realized, cars that maintain their stock appearance tend to look better in the long run; especially after 15+years.
I was looking at a "stock" E34 M5 about couple of weeks ago. Car looks so darn good. Thus, if you can't afford it, or if you can't justify dumping money on mods, then save it, and spend it on something else in life that you can appreciate more. |
