Assuming you already replaced the runflats, M3 front control arms. And when you get some money to spend, M3 rear subframe bushings.
Or meth. |

Sell all your mods and buy a Ferrari 355

Add laser diffusers and radar jammers so you can really use all your mods to the fullest on public roads without getting a ticket.

I don't see tires on the list... so... tires.
More power probably wouldn't be a good thing anyway without stickier tires.

I'd say...get tires -Max Performance Summer type.
For $1000 you can get some serious tires. Keep your stock rims for now too.

laser jammer with radar would be nice, unless you are looking for perf mods.

Meth seems the most logical, I'm installing mine soon. Also midpipes make sense. I don't plan to do midpipes myself, I want to keep a cat. Next would be some M3 pieces. Just the front pieces is all that I did, should cost around $600 installed. I wanted to do a tripod set of gauges but instead I'm just installing an inexpensive boost gauge with the meth kit.
Are you tinted? Clearbra? If you could sell your stock wheels and tires that plus your $1000 would get you a nice upgrade there. Of course you could go crazy and pick up a CF hood or trunk. If it were me, I'd put the stock wheels and tires up for sale and upgrade there, wider and lighter.

Tires, Driving school, M3 parts. All good ideas. I'd probably lean towards tires first because with all that stuff you probably have trouble getting traction in 3rd gear with the stock tires.
I know i have only a JB3 and intake and i leave black lines everywhere in second gear. |
