Getting Started with my E92
Hey guys.. so ive recently gotten a space grey 2008 e92 .. im throwing 20% tints on it tommorow.. but im very interested with modding the hell outta it.. what would the VERY FIRST 5 mods you would do... headlight upgrade? grill replacement? black out the taillights?

Well there really are not a lot of mods you can do to the 328 performance wise. You can buy intakes and exhausts but they will only alter the sounds; the horsepower per dollar rate is very low. You can consider suspension mods but you have an xi, so that would be something to think about first.
I personally have spent plenty of money making the other cars in my stable fast so the 328 is just a comfortable long distance cruiser for me. I have stuck to just appearance mods: On a black car I have done, matte black kidney grills, smoked front reflectors, smoked side markers, matte black 328 badge, xenon angel eye bulbs, xenon fogs, LED courtesy lamps, black & white BMW badges, window tint, exhaust tips, & coco mats. I haven't added it up but I imagine that is in the 700-900 range, (or I could have bought an exhaust!)
