red on white. front grill is black and mirrors as well... want to keep it simple.. also if you have any ideas for some engine mods. would be great. Thanks!

i know i need better pictures up!

Sweet ride! In terms of engine mods, most will tell you it'll be useless but for cosmetics I would recommend painted reflectors ( can't tell from your photos if you already got them or not), also a spoiler, and I highly recommend the performance exhaust if anything.

[ghitro]

thanks man! im new here, still trying to figure things out! Im guessing you mean to do the reflectors red? and i wanted to get a CSL style trunk, but cant seem to find anything but the attachment instead of the whole trunk itself...and, its sad that there cant be much engine mods done. i would love to do whatever i can to it!

Question. muffler delete and straight pipe... less performance. or more?

[Grant@JGMODS]

Looks good man!

I agree with Richey, painted reflectors would look good. For performance, since you have a 328i, most would recommend a tune of some sort. Check in the NA section for more info and reviews on the different tunes (check the threads about AA, BMS, etc). Same for the muffler delete. A common theme would be that people have lost some low end torque I believe, but hey, you're shedding about 50lbs I think. I personally have a muffler delete and I love it! I kept my resonators in just to be sure I won't have any rasp.

I went with the following:
Resonator delete, charcoal filter delete and secondary cat delete. Finalized it with an Autowerke flash.

AA TUNE without a second thought. Loved it on my old 328 coupe. It's the only one that made a real (although modest) difference. 2nd has it down!

something original: paint your headlight housings matte white. ^__^ (instead of blacked out like everyone else does)

[Mauryk]

How about a thin white pinstripe. Here's mine (black on a silver car).


Very easy DIY with striping tape from your local auto store. When you get tired of it, just peel it off.

Please don't.

OP, I'd recommend some M3 sideskirts. They make a huge difference.

We sell red and black cf emblems

modding is about being original (usually)

i would've suggested painting the outer rings of the grills matte white instead (or vinyl them in case it really does look stupid haha)

Yesssss, i want those too! but i bet there spendy. want to do it so bad!

[JGMODS]

Looks like you have an M Tech Front Bumper, so I would recommend getting a nice Arkym front lip for it. Another suggestion would be the V Style vented hood. Let me know if you need any other tips/ideas.

It pulls better and just feels smoother, could just be in my head. However, the most positive thing out of all of those items is my MPG, getting average of 26-27 consistently.

15 HP and 12 torque. It ain't much but it does make a difference.

I bought some OEM color painted reflectors and they made a big difference as far as the looks go imo, Also if you get your car coded like i did i would highly recommend the corner lamp delete so all you see is the angel eyes and projectors while driving...i hate the orange lol. Also led license plate lights looks real nice

I think colored headlights look awful in any color other than black.
