And before everyone goes crazy, all maintenance is up to date. All of it! So now that thats out of the way, i'm looking to spend some money on my car. I have what you can see in the picture including mtech2 rear, OEM LED Tails, and lip spoiler. Any suggestions on what I should get? Give any suggestion regardless of the price! haha. Curious to see what else I should do to this baby.

Been looking around for some M3 mirrors. Drop is a option to. haha

AA Supercharger, buy it used off a member.

I'm happy with the power my E46 has. If I really wanted more power, I wouldn't waste my money on a supercharger, I'd sell my car and buy an M3 haha.

Not really a waste of money when it would bring you to near M3 performance levels for a fraction of the cost.
That, and you claim to be on top of maintenance, meaning the imaginary "budget" M3 you'd purchase would have to go through an entire overhaul.

Very valid points. The option is still available. But happy with the power so far. haha.

Is it a manual or strep ? If latter then this is what you need, best bank for buck IMO

M3 SMG wheel with paddle shifts hooked up to the steptronic M mode. Easy DIY too.

I've heard about this being done! Definitely want to do it. I'll look around for a M3 steering wheel.

First a paint correction done by a pro. Your car looks great to me, though a good detailer can make the car look amazing. Most here can't do that on their own...maybe you can.

Gold bullion in the trunk for when you want to go to the mountains and need traction in the snow. Also good if you want to plan for your retirement, graduate education, a home, marriage? :lmao: Among the less ugly mods, I like the trunk lip. Don't know if your headlights can be updated, but seeing well is nice.

Leatherique, gummi pfledge, xl50, and ambers!

Hahah thanks for all the info D. What more can I do to the headlights? They are already factory xenon.

M3 side grills. a little drop. is that ur roof mat falling??

roof mat falling? Not to my knowledge...

Black out the roof. Go for a drop also. Spacers for the front and back also maybe? M3 folding mirrors also. Apart from that your just about set. Btw, got any rear shots? An M TECH II rear would probably flow quite nice as well:thumbsup:

Id Say Mtech Side Skirts, and a Mtech Rear, if you dont have one

You need side skirts. I see people all the time buying new front and rear bumpers but forgetting about the side skirts, and they don't flow at all.

Sent from my Desire HD using Bimmer

Side skirts are on order I already have the rear mtech2, OEM LED Tails, and lip spoiler. Besides that i'm looking at subtle drop, m3 mirrors, and some nice tint (not to dark, but classy)

Quoted for TRUTH!

Other than fuel, coilovers or springs/shocks depending on how aggressive you personally would want the car lowered. Once the ride height was set I'd toss on some spacers to flush out the wheels.

Maybe a Big Break Kit, I'm a big fan of them. Or just set aside some money to afford local track days and learn to drive the car at the limit in a controlled environment.

I'm planning on getting some suspension soon. And track days are always fun :thumbsup: Not sure about spacers. The wheels already stick out so far I had to roll them to keep from rubbing.
