thinking about mods

LI E90 · 04-14-2008, 09:21 PM

I have the car for almost 11 months and it is bone stock. I have never moded a car, window tinting doesn't count.

i'm thinking of the M-Force M3 lip spolier+ painted front splitter package

but that is it, not dropping it on 20's or crazy stuff like that

I am in my early to mid 30's, I drive clients in the car, the car is a lease almost 19 months till it goes back.

should I do it?

Yes. Its not going to be a huge effect on the stock setup.

Sounds like some subtle tasteful mods. I don't think most people notice any diff between any e90 3 series unless you have rims and carbon fiber crap all over.

Do it...I have that same setup (M3 spoiler + painted splitters), along with other stuff of course.

The rear spoiler is very subtle, but the splitters give your front end a slightly more aggressive look.

Plus, you won't have a hard time selling the mods after your lease is up.

1. golf tee or unplug mod (free)

you drive clients in your car? you sell real estate?

the number one rule: never drive clients in your own car.
thats what the Number One Remax Broker in New York for the last 15 years told me. and his wall was plastered in awards... i think he knows what hes talking about.

NO I do not sell real estate. I am in sales though, and I often go to lunch meetings or local sales calls with people in the car with me. that is one of the main reasons I got the sedan and not coupe. You cannot exactly ask 60+ year old millionare clients to sit in the back of a coupe, when you are trying to close deals. Even my boss who has a Mercedes CLS sometimes asks me to drive since his car is so tight in the back
