2007 328i

tl9015 · 10-27-2007, 08:36 PM

I want to mod my 328i (rims, lux, blacklines, intake, exhaust). My car is a lease. Am I allowed to do this? Also, what is a staggered setup. I know its 245 and 275 but what is the good and bad side of it.

Yes of course you can. My car is leased, i have 20s, Coilovers, m3 spoiler, pedals etc..

You can do pretty much any bolt on to your car but when lease time is up, you are going to have to take everything off.

What about adding front splitters? Should we take off, or will the dealer notice?

I'm sure they'd appreciate the donation, but why not sell them for a profit?

Exhaust/intake may be ok, but they say it voids the warranty, so not sure what they'd say if they notice (my guess is they won't say anything as long as you put it back to stock once the lease is up).

Neither exhaust or intake voids any warranty. They are also easy to take off and sell at the end of a lease.

Does anybody realize you can TRADE in the car before going to term on a lease...then it doesn't matter. But mods usually decrease value of cars in trade.

For sure...say hello to eisenmann

I know that when you trade it in (be it at lease end or earlier), they try to CPO the car, so they'd most likely request that you bring it back to stock.

Yes you can do mods no problem on a leased car, I do it on almost all of mine.
