So seeing as this place is so good at spending peoples money I thought I'd get your suggestions! I've won £500 in our work lotto syndicate and rather than being sensible I thought I would treat the car. I had convinced myself to hold out until May when my warrantee was out before I did anything but can see this money burning a hole in my pocket (and before the wife gets hold of it!).

So things I have been thinking of are:

Detail and ceramic coat - cons are the front bumper has road achne.

Side blades

Remap - not sure I want the Ecu taken out

Tuning box - not sure I'm convinced there any good as they fool the car

ACS springs

Surround view system (its on eBay)

Twin Exhaust

Winter wheels/ spare wheel

Combo of above

Other.......?

ACS springs. The only mod you will feel the benefit of for every mile driven.

Tuning box, just had it done on the F06, can not complain.

If you fit it yourself you will have £100 change left. Get them to fit it and you will still have a pinky in change.

If you have an M Performance Carbon Fibre splitter then avoid the springs.
I have had a dtuk tuning box on my f10 535d and it gave engine lights and only give small gains so i sold it and went for a remap.
I have a remap on my 435d, massive gains.

Id go with a remap.
