320d Ed modifications

Hi guys I'm a Newbie just got myself my first bmw a 320d Ed lci and after going through the forum just can't wait to start modding got a few things I would like to do and any opinions would be great.1 Planning on remap anyone no what gains i am looking at. 2 Angel eye upgrade for my halogen headlights headlights which ones are best to go for. 3. Upgrading alloys what do you guys think about 19inch m6 wheels would they fit and how would they look. 4.Car is currently in bodyshop fitting m sport front and back bumper and still contemplating m sport side skirts as I can't tell much difference I've also bought some carbon fibre splitters from ssdd which are also going to be fitted also thinking about which spoiler to go for. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated

what amuses me is that the ebay seller has a cheek to charge £5 more for the E90 one than the E92

are they even different!!

LCI Angel Eyes upgrades are not exactly thick on the ground and if you want simple P & P you'll probably have to go to Burger Tuning

The LCI 320d isn't an easy car to remap either, it's an ECU out job which makes it expensive, it may also be hard to hide from BMW so you may face warranty problems.

I thought remap was through the obd on the n47 2.0d engines.

I dont quite understand the point of getting the ED and then remapping it and putting bigger wheels on - surely better to have got the sport or SE??

Great car coming from a Volvo s40 r design but the drive is great compared to previous car. Just want it to look nice exterior wize as wheels are small good thing thing is that it's already lowered and it's space grey one of my favourite colors.
