This isn't something people like to admit! It's like asking how bad is your drinking or gambling problem?

Too much- over 6,000 I believe. I nearly got over half that back selling them off though, as I got cold feet recently and I am giving the car back. I may have been one of the stupidest things that I've ever done, but it was a great learning experience.

$0 and probably $0 for the last 10 cars at least - unless you consider snow tires and floor mats as mods. I don't understand why people "mod" their cars.

arctic330i · 12-31-2011, 05:16 PM

A few thousand

THE TECH · 12-31-2011, 05:17 PM

$20k

Dozhdbog · 12-31-2011, 05:20 PM

No money thus far, but in a couple weeks I will have spent $6500 on a somewhat complicated BMW stage 2 ppk install(according to the dealership, it's never been done on a non-sport 2011 335i before) and BMW performance suspension install. I may spend another grand on an m-sport bumper, but only if I can get the fog lights installed as well.
Shortly thereafter I plan on spending another 2600 on some tires and rims a fellow forum user is giving me a nice deal on.

The above costs are parts/labor/taxes included, and I hope to recoup some of the cost from selling the replaced suspension parts, wheels, and, if I go through with the front end changeover, the old bumper setup.

I don't plan on doing anything to car for another year at which point I'd like to add the bmw performance exhaust and maybe the carbon fiber spoiler.

fair enough, you don't see the need to mod your car. why don't you understand why others might want too?

makes one wonder what you are doing here.

Lol.. Just lol

Then again a 328 doesn't have any modding potential other than aesthetic anyway.

avocet · 12-31-2011, 06:25 PM

I have been waiting to do the faulty hpfp mod, but can't be bothered to have my car in the shop that long...

I probably spent $20k on my E36 - Euro M3 3.2l engine, 30/90 3 clutch diff, PFC front brakes, Ohlins HMRC and LMJ dampers, wheels and track tires, seats, God knows what else, etc. That's all parts, no labor included in that estimate.
