Will Procede ruin warranty? He was concerned about that.
Wheels + Tires -- How about some BBS RGR 1-piece? They are pretty sweet, but would eat into his budget a lot.

Suspension -- H&R Sports Springs for XI --> H&R Coilover for XI --> KW V3 Coilover for XI

ECU -- Dinan would be the safest route to go if he's concerned about warranty. Active Autowerke's Active Processor is a real bargain at 695. I love the AA tune, very smooth and no issues after a full year.

Exhaust -- Active's catback is pretty good, CP-E is sweet as well

Body Kit -- personally like the subtlety of the Aerokit front and rear, side skirts would pick M3 reps or M-Tech (too much work involved in getting the OEM M3 fit on the E92). Rear spoiler I would pick Vorsteiner if he wants more flare or OEM M3 for understated aggressiveness.
