How much $$$ have you spent on your car to date?

Luongo · 08-02-2006, 12:51 AM

Interesting thread at http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...hlight=tint%22

Some dude have spent over 35k on mods.

LWL · 08-02-2006, 12:53 AM

This question belongs to Long...... hahahhaa

tl_boy · 08-02-2006, 12:54 AM

I think thats a lot of money, but don't find it shocking. My friend had spent $20k on mods on his acura integra. Considering that BMW's are already so damn expensive to modify, I think that its proportionately equal to what my friend spent.

Luongo · 08-02-2006, 12:55 AM

I'll start.

1. Blackline - $200
2. Rubber Mats (Front Only) - $45
3. M-Tech Steering Wheel - $675 (after selling stock wheel + airbag)
4. M-Tech Shift Knob - $80
5. Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler - $300
6. BMW License Plate Frame - $20

Total so far $1,320

After you drive your E92 for a year, you'll be saving up for an E92 M3.

I'm skipping E92 and going straight to E92 M3!

Unless I start to really rock and roll the benjamins in the next few years I don't think I could see myself blowing that much cash on a car.

I'm a cheapskate at heart.

Pretender · 08-02-2006, 02:04 AM

Mine was ~$7000

Victor.L3IchibanM3 · 08-02-2006, 02:05 AM

Rim,spoiler,sports tire,sound system. That will do it for me

HappyG · 08-02-2006, 02:40 AM

Took delivery of vehicle end of June. Spent approximately $1500 so far. That's a lot for me...sigh. That amount will probably balloon to $2500 by the end of summer with sways and an exhaust.

The funniest ones are always the Max Power brigade from the UK. They start with some pile of shite budget hatch and then proceed to spend so much money on it and end up with a bespoilered pile of shite. For the same money they could have had a Boxster!

Kuma · 08-02-2006, 09:33 AM

My extensively cheap list of Mods (if you can call them that)

$65 Chrome Exhaust Tips
$95 Chrome Front Grilles
$30 Monster iPod power thingy
$14 Griffin AirClick RF Remote For iPod
$5 Cheap "gold plated" GE 3 foot audio cable
$165 35% Formula 1 film Tint on Rear 3 Windows

I don't mod... I ENHANCE. no modification to stock pieces... even if the stock part isn't on the car anymore... hahahah, but I calculated that by the time I'm done with my wishlist of ENHANCEMENTS (okay, one requires modifcation of stock parts, so enhancements and 1 mod), I'll be just over $10k, but I'm guessing by that time there will be something else available that I'll want... and I dunno if I can resist the urge... ohhh the moddiction! hahaha
