The black rims are much nicer than your existing rims imho. Can we see the same thing in silver?

Tint your front windows. Looks silly without any tint on the fronts...

A trunk organizer to keep the books and notebooks! Keeps the trash out of view. Forget the mods and study more. Use the cash from the lucrative job offers to an M5.
Good for you to be in school!

I agree. Save your money. Wait until you are out and working. I am only 2 years out of grad school, and I remember the days of college. Save your money for more important stuff. Heck, even take a female out for a nice night on the town. Much more wisely spent money than cheap mods on your car


Then when you have the better job and you are making more money, buy yourself the M5, and one for me too for giving you the best advice ever!!!

... Is that a limo tint on the back then? Mine isnt a legal tint here in VA, but its close. I did the max allowable tint in the back all the way around. I still have not gotten pulled over, and I have sat next to police cars before.

I realize CA might be a little different, but my personal preference would be to have it the same all around. To each their own

yeah, 5% in rear, i might push and go 10 in front but chp when they pull you over they take you for all (I almost got a ticket for out of state license, speeding, no front license plate (req in Ca), front tint) on my old z3c. After 10 minutes of lecturing he let me go. Go figure.
That and when you have 27 straight days of over 100F weather, you want to go as dark as you can so i had to settle for the diff. :/

Drop about 60 bucks on a super duper car care kit (like Mothers products) and keep that baby like a mirror. No other upgrade can come close.

if you went a little lighter in the back, then the contrast wouldn't look so, um well, contrasting.......
