Got My Base 328i!!! What Mods First?

Hey guys,

Got my alpine white 328i. Pretty excited.

So I have 1500 set aside for mods. What things should i do?

I do have some rims I have in mind but they would zap the whole 1500.

Are rims the usual things that are done first? Should I instead use the 1500 and buy multiple upgrades or just blow my wad on some rims?

So confused!!

Black kidney grills look good, you can also get painted (or paint them yourself) whiskers.

If you want performance, a tune like JB4 is a nice bump in power. You can do all of those for around $600.

Or just go ahead and trade it in for a 335! (i kid, i kid!)

I got my daughter a base 328 as well and when we got it home I plasti dipped
the front grills and rear diffuser section which was subtle but noticeable.
I also just debaged it today and put on a carbon fiber performance spoiler.

A High Performance Driving Exeperice (HPDE) will be better than any "mod" you can do for $1500.

Start here
