Survey--$$$ spent after initial purchase on MOD's?

mielefan · 11-24-2008, 07:37 PM

So, lets here it--how much have you spent on your 1 series since taking it off the lot? For modifications, that is....

- I have spent $125 bucks on the bra everyone seems to loath...

eunosracr · 11-24-2008, 07:47 PM

About 12k.

Obviously we all know my mods were bought with imaginary money because they are imaginary mods. My car is totally stock and the pics are all real good photoshops. Just in case any BMW peeps may glance over this thread.

Luvmybmw · 11-25-2008, 10:23 AM

I would say $2500

Alow · 11-25-2008, 11:00 AM

$1700.. and I still don't have the car

MastaMind · 11-25-2008, 11:36 AM

About 2400 so far. I figure another 2500 next spring, as long as I'm still employed. Maybe I should just mod it now and ask for a bail out if I need help later

ptack · 11-25-2008, 11:41 AM

About $500 so far. Spring will lead to a big increase.

coco_m3 · 11-25-2008, 11:45 AM

Alot.

arok · 11-25-2008, 12:03 PM

2000 + 1400 + 550 + 50 + 77 + 350 + 130 + 110 + 100 + 120 = $4,887

Almost $5k for all the stuff + some supplies and fender rolling

AchtungF80 · 11-25-2008, 12:10 PM

lets see, about $1020 for clear-bra headlights, bumper, partial hood, partial fenders, mirrors, door cups, side skirts, rockers, gas lid

$200 for a California Car cover.

$379 for pin-out JB3 that I won't install for a lil bit.

$60 in more zaino products

$15 can of wheel wax

ninja edit: shouldn't this thread be in the Coupe/Convertible discussion?

M3Newbie88 · 11-25-2008, 12:52 PM

I'd say around 4k for me...

Templedogg · 11-25-2008, 03:11 PM

$8800 so far.

gyrfalcon · 11-25-2008, 05:05 PM

Maybe $250 on a car cover, floor mats, and the trunk liner. Maybe more soon if UUC ever gets their swaybar issues worked out and my tires are destroyed fully from the next Auto X.

S54dan · 11-25-2008, 06:11 PM

Do I get to chime in even if I don't have a 1??? :biggrin:

bman6074 · 11-25-2008, 06:30 PM

300 on clear bra.

edit: Oh yea just got winter wheel and tire setup. (if that is considered a mod)

twenzel · 11-25-2008, 07:12 PM

too much

baseballbreath · 11-25-2008, 08:08 PM

oh about this much:

1500 - BMW Performance Exhaust
1000 - 3M Clear bra, hood, mirrors, and front
5 something - JB3 PnP
450 - RR Stage 2 Intake
200 - 30% Tint
80 - RR Oil Catch Can
50 - Ambergones
20 - GP Thunder Bulbs
20 - RR CDV
So A little over $3800, good thing I don't have a G/F or a wife. LOL.

I think that's it for now. Spring time I'm looking at the BMW Aero Kit and Wheels and Tires.

professor · 11-25-2008, 09:02 PM

oh, you had to bring that up! hmmm...will probably soon be enough to buy a new 1er in the US.

Oinker1 · 11-25-2008, 09:57 PM

Let's see, I have spent roughly $9.99 on car soap. Does that count?

By the way; why does it say your banned???? What's up with that? probably can't respond being that your banned....that sucks...what the heck you do anyway? Looked at your posts, and your responses...can't figure it out....wierd. Anyone? Bueler???

jeremyc74 · 11-26-2008, 10:51 AM

I guess the total is somewhere around $2700, but that's including $1100 for tires I just put on.

AlienDNA · 11-26-2008, 01:55 PM

$1,900 CDN on winter wheels and tires, $98 CDN on rubber floor mats. Wait until racing season comes around again and I convince myself I need dry and wet racing wheels...

randomquickness · 11-26-2008, 01:59 PM

I keep an excel spread sheet down to the cent. currently at $10630.84

My135 · 11-26-2008, 02:11 PM

My total budget to spend on mods is <$3000, and so far I already spent $600 on JB3, next is the intake and cat back exhaust and down pipe and suspension tweak the last. Due to my limited budget, I have to install the mods myself in order to save on labor. This is why I put the suspension tweak the last since I can't do it myself especially the rear suspension stuff (like rear sway bar).
