$200 to spend....what to buy
I have approx $200 to spend on a mod right now. I have a stock 135i and am not sure what I want to do for a first mod. I know this is not a lot of cash, but is a start.
Looking for suggestions and feedback on the mod to be performed. Thanks in advance.... |

Agree, save up $590 and get a JB3 or save up $900 and get a ProCede. Tune is the best bang for the buck.

A window tint should cost around $200 What color paint? Some new matte black or CF kidneys?
I've done a few mods that cost nothing...debadge, despoiler, golf tee exhaust mod, radio display mod, rear seat removal (doubt you'll want to do that one).

My first mod was my shadowline kidney grills. I got them installed by the dealer when I got my break-in oil change. I was dying to do my first mod, didn't like being stock lol.

+1 You can do the install yourself, requires a Torx screwdriver set (T30 I believe) and a scribe. Took under 10 minutes. Plus the tools (if you don't have them) cost 1/5 of what the labor would have been.

I would say if you want to tune save up for JB3 if not do small mods lie golf tee mod and black grills and badges and small cosmetic things or grills and BMS filter
