I don't have any pics or vids but the first thing I noticed about my LCI E90 was how bright the turn signals are. They are almost like high beams. I was very impressed with them.

overrated - Vinyl Amber Covers. You have a nice shiny car but what kills it are those ugly vinyl stickers covering the corner ambers. I'm sorry but it looks welfare.

underrated - BMW vehicle manual. No one seems to read it for basic maintenance .

Overrated - tuner badging (ie. Dinan, Racing Dynamics, ACS, etc.) aka stop me for mods to emissions systs
Underrated - tires (good Non-RFTs on stock rims will do more for performance than expensive rims and cheap tires)
