+1 Blacklines..Other than that idk..intake came to mind..but I haven't done this mod either, a lot on here say K&N + Charcoal delete on the Stock Intake is better..I guess unless you have a 335 or something?

Maybe LUX 5.1

Yea I understand..I was in the same situation.

But Blacklines really improve the looks of E90's. I have a 328, and first things I did were LED interior/exterior swap > Blacklines > Then bought some Converted Xenons now awaiting on LUX, finally coilover/wheels.

There are quite an amount of mods to do, if you want a lip spoiler on your trunk, or splitters/lip for the front

Def been looking to do a xenon conversion or get a converted pair but everyone on here is asking like 2k....thats insane imo. I'm gonna consider the LED interior, I may also want to do an LED license plate light, do my own $60 dinoc cf interior and maybe put stainless M-Pedals on....poss blacklines and matte black grilles too......the thing is just finding stuff cheap yano??

Just have to browse the classifieds section a lot, got my Converted Xenons for 650!..If they're asking 2k thats crazy..for used; might as well get new! LOL! Yea, JLeviSW or F1AutoHaus I believe has the interior LED swap, it comes with the license plate too.

There are various vendors on here that will give you a fairly decent price on things. Just browse around!

That's real fresh but it doesn't really make sense on a 328...not really about power until I got the 335 haha

It's TINT. You have window tint.




I'd do black grilles and blackline taillights first. You can get BMW performance shocks for $133 and some used lowering springs for less than $200.

last summer i did blacklines, lux led rings, splitters, m3 spoiler, led license plate,all for about 600.

Aside that, matte black front grill for 70$ +led interior for 90$ is also good.

in your case for 500$ id start with a used set of blacklines and jlevi headlights (link below). They would provide the biggest change, aside a set of rims.
