It's a sparkling graphite 2008 E90 M3.
I'm on a budget so no supercharger yet.

Current Mods:

RPI Scoops
BMC Drop in Filter
Megan Racing Exhaust
Fabspeed XPipe
Powerchip Tune

Painted Reflector
White Angel-Eyes

Future Mods

Spacers - (not sure what size to get)

Wider Tires - (waiting till I burn through my current set)

Pulley - (not sure how much the installation would cost and where I would get it done [dealership?])

Tint - (a tint that doesn't darken the inside to outside view i'll purchase. my cars pretty low key at the moment which is what I like because cops never give me trouble. I like to have a clear-view through my rearview mirror so I can spot police at a distance) Is there such a tint that will not obstruct or darken the inside to outside view? [inside to outside meaning me the driver looking outside]

I second the recommendation of HuperOptik ceramic tint! I'd also go for spacers.

I think a set of blacklines would go nicely with your car.

+ 100

Have them on my car and made a big change

And one more just for the hell of it

persian54 · 04-13-2011, 02:17 PM

do you want more aesthetics or performance?

i doubt a dealer would install a pulley.. you wouldn't want them to know you have it anyways

I would suggest Pulley for performance, then xpipe when the one you want is out, then tint, blacklines and call it a day

CAPSGOD · 04-13-2011, 02:47 PM

Mod the driver -- HPDE. Best performance mod there is.

Don't forget to hardwire a radar/laser detector. And I would also suggest a laser jammer. The Laser Interceptor is the best.

Cheers.

Krozi · 04-13-2011, 04:20 PM

Blacklines!

SM#80 · 04-13-2011, 04:29 PM

Noob here - What are "blacklines"?

jmflukeiii · 04-13-2011, 05:33 PM

10mm on the rear and 15mm on the front for spacers.

Color code all your emblems (roundels and M badges) to your car... I did black and white (with my black car) and its amazing to me how much that little change alters the look of the overall car.

Taillights with a factory "tint" to them that give the appearance of "black lines" around the various mold lines. Compare the pic above to a stock one and you can see what I mean.

IND-Distribution · 04-13-2011, 10:35 PM

15mm front
12mm rear

Thats the most popular setup for spacers. Of course its all about your personal preference.
