Too many set of wheels, and Carbon fiber parts, along with Mikes B's BPM tune and down pipes. Adds up real quick.

Sometimes, I wonder if I kept mine stock from day one, If I would love it any less....hmmm....I will never know, because the mod bug really Bites Hard on my Wallet!! lol

I did that on previous vehicles. It's addictive. Maybe I'm getting old.

Enjoy the modding!!!

A stock e92 that is clean and well taken care of is more rare now a days

The mod bug is real, but less is more with these cars. That said, $5K+ is too easy with any “real” mods given the M tax.

amrazM · 01-18-2019, 10:56 PM

Blower plus suspension and cf roof easily $10k likely more after labor but those are just the major things.

kyrix1st · 01-19-2019, 08:14 AM

$4K on mufflers alone..

Easily $10K+ if I were to count every mod done to the car..

Rule #1 of car modding: never add up the receipts.

Mvy · 01-19-2019, 08:43 AM

I lost my damn mind. I spent about half as much on mods as I did on the car if you include all the proactive maint. I did with my supercharger. But shes perfect now. 10/10. I did buy the car 3 years used so it was not full retail. And im still itching for a stroker.

I am heading your direction, will most likely add a supercharger once I reach 100k mileage, want to enjoy the Natural aspirated motor for now, another 40,000 miles to go. Im hoping this will be the last mod for me other than your normal maintenace.

At the end of the first year of ownership of my M3, I made a spreadsheet of all the $$ I had spent on the car and track related activities. It was, uhhh, lol... a little intense. So, I decided at that point, to stop. Tallying my money spent, that is. I budget and pay attention to cash flow with my car expenditures, but dang... I had to stop looking at that total # lmao
