Current upgrades:
1. BMW performance peddles 2. BMW performance exhaust Future Upgrades: 1. BMW extended warranty I had my fun modding cars with my old WRX. In hindsight, I found it way too expensive and frustrating more than anything. Learned a lot though. I just hope the JB3 bug doesn't bite me. That's when things started going downhill w/ my WRX. |

2.) BMW performance exhaust the suspension is being done next month. I'm saving wheels until after suspension. Need to see if I want to add even more extra rubber or if I'm cool with the current 225/255 setup |

If you plan to heavily modify your car I think you should do the cosmetic and suspension mods first then prep mods for the tune, then the tune. The main thing I'd do in a different order next time is the dps. I did them early which caused me some issues with BMW when my hpfp went out. Next time I'd do the dps right before the tune. Btw my signature pretty much has my mods in order.
1. Injen, Riss OCC..both easy first diy's 2. Wheels, tires 3. MadDad axleback 4. Kw1, Ar dps, o2 sims, strut bar 5. FMIC, M3 control arms, Quaife 6. chargepipe and dvs next, GIAC stage2+ or Procede a year later Meth

Here is my path -
1) JB+ (@50%) save a little something for down the road. 2) Berk Axleback I am very happy w/ my level 1 engine mods. I drive 25M per year and its usable power. then I moved to exterior 3) Omar Splitters inexpensive in the BMW world and I like the looks. then I focused on interior. 4) Radar Detector (V1) 5) P3Cars Boost gauge 6) Bimmarian aluminum pedals 7) Blue Ant Bluetooth hands free phone Interior done. 8) I will need tires very soon. I would like to pick up a set of used RFTs for the rears and when they go the fronts should be done so I can replace all 4 with non RFTS. Non RFTS the Hanooks seem to be the way to go. Moving back to engine bay, things I am considering. 8) OCC 9) water/meth 10) larger IC there ya go .............

You guys have some weird orders...
AA piggy back ER brake line/fluid upgrade AA BOV AA intercooler sold AA intercooler and went with ESS flash UR downpipes CP-e midpipes wheels and tires Berk exhaust Snow boost cooler kit I'm not sold on the benefits of an intake, intake spacers, pullies, or scoops so i don't really bother with them Next I'll either be switching my chip with a GIAC or EPL flash(if EPL has gotten into that game yet) and definitely an oil cooler.
