+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 |

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. http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/3-Se...duct_info.html |

Hey whats up man, I see you in westchester, what part you at im in New Ro. I would suggest Decklid spoiler, I got one from a member here painted for about 150 and taillights, I dont do have black lines but I used red vinyl over the reverse light.
