I thought that it would be both interesting and instructive (for rookies like me), to see what mods the forum's top guns are packing. By "top guns" I mean super moderators, high-volume posters and the like (I trust that you all know who are).
I know that some of you have your mods posted in your signatures, but others (e.g., Fourfa and Bob ///M3) do not.
It's always best to learn from people in-the-know, so I thought that I'd ask the question.
Cant fit all that in my sig..

A little story about my car first! My M3 is a '99 model that I bought new, but it had slightly less than 2,000 miles on it because it was driven by the General Manager of my local dealership. My intentions were to buy my '99 E36 M3 and then put a few mods on it while I waited for the new E46 M3s to come out. I was on the waiting list for the new M3 but recently declined to order because I wanted to wait for BMW to rid the car of any bugs. The mods I have done are rather small because I didn't want to waste too much money or change the looks too much knowing I was going to be getting a E46 M3 before too long. Whoever gets the car will have a nice one!

Sounds like a beauty, Bob.
Do you have any pics? (of the car, that is. Your off-topic photos are superb, BTW).
No, sorry I don't! I gave my digital camera to my sister. I guess I need to get another one and take a few pictures!

Check my signature... it's all there I think. I kinda get lost in the things that I've done.
Anyway, the car is a '98 1/2 M3/2 Alpine White.
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
