Next week I'm getting AA S/C C38 stage 1 installed with 3.23 LSD on my 328is. I cant figure out what I want to do next. Current mods are M3 cams, Dinan exhaust, 17x8 BBS RK's, Bilstein BTS kit, M3 Clutch, Shaved M3 flywheel, Replaced bushings, DDM HIDS and thats where it ends for now. Ive been brainstorming for a while now but would like to hear other suggestions that I might not have thought about. What would your next mod/mods be with a limit of $3000.00? (Yes the money has to be spent on the car and I'll go ahead and cover the infamous "shoulda got a M3 from the beginning") Thanks, Chris

Well, you could buy the wheels in my sig and keep or sell your RK's, buy my complete black vader interior, buy my M3 rear bumper if you don't already have one, buy my M3 mirrors moldings and sideskirts, buy my M3 LSD, buy my tri color motorsport stitched M3 steering wheel. Heck, just send me the 3 grand and I'll send you the whole M3 parts car:D

all the work put in you need some "action"
shots at your local track, retain a photog
future acquistions can always be had

Autozone stock. j/k. But i'm serious.
What about some lightweight seats? You get weight savings, looks, and comfort out of that. Always nice to spice up the interior a bit.

Truthfully I need a whole new interior. Seats are torn, carpet is stained, door panels need a little help...just not as fun as other mods to me but it might be that time...

I think you just answered your question there. Upgrade to some hurricane vadors.

50/50 on interior. It needs it i know. Its just going to be a huge process because im not keeping it tan so that means it will be getting gutted.

I would HIGHLY suggest putting 1k$ of that $ into track time, and a set of tires for when yours get burned out.
You will enjoy your car shitloads more after getting some track time in there.. I'm talking like 2-4 days, that should run you anywhere from 500-1000$ pending on the groups you run with and the type of instruction you get.
Do et.

Track time.
Track pads, wider wheels, wider tires, better suspension.
I'd invest in some race seats, roll bar, and some proper harnesses.
