Just picked up a 328xi 07 with 52,000
First car, will be using as my daily.
I'm new to bmws and I figured this would be a great car to start with!
Please I'm a noob, any mods I can start off with? Exhaust ? Suspension, wheels ?

Thank you guys in advance

I also acquired an 2007 328xi!
First thing you should do is look at PMing it. Replace old coolant hoses, check for leaks, replace the fluids/oil, etc.. next you could pick up black kidney grills, smoked turn signals, upgrade to LCI headlights to get angel eyes, and upgrade the bumpers to give it a more aggressive sporty look.
Enjoy man!

Step 1. All fluids. Plugs and coils. Fix whatever oil leaks you have.

RSFBs, either inserts or M3 bushings make a world of difference.

Check oil filter housing gasket for leaks.

make your car a 330 by adding 3 stage intake and a tune. Used intake is roughly 300-400$ , you could get a cable from bimmer geeks and load up the free 3 stage tune from bimmerlabs ( check on na forum ) , You could also get the tune from AA or FCP but it ll cost 600$

right there is roughly 15-20 whp

this.
and a large gain in driveability under 4500 rpm.

do all the maintenance, fix the leaks on the top of the motor, make it a 330 and enjoy it being stone reliable.

I haven't been on E90Post for a few months now (due to my business), but what the heck is a FCP tune? FCP as in FCPEuro? I know BPC stopped selling their N51/N52 tune, I had no idea what this FCP tune is.

The guy that used to do the tunes at bpc opened up a new shop. I believe its call fcp. I cant remember too well. Anyways he is offering the tunes now. Its basically the tune bpc used to have

I ll look it up tomorrow. Its somewhere in the na forum.
Anyways i think hass tune for 330 which was free if i remember correctly should also work with the 3 stage intake. Although i recall reading somewhere that his tune was not compatible with certain 3 series. Sorry its also been a while for me. I used to be on top of these things a few years ago. Ever since i went fbo ( 2 years ago) i stopped reading too much into it so i picked up pieces here and there once in a while when i m bored at work

I was interested in the milvs mod for a while but i just decided to leave my car alone for now
