So I want to spend a little money on my car and get something new.

I am budgeting myself 500.00, I dont care what it is. Could be performance or just something for looks.

Any ideas???

So far I have JB v2 w/ Hot Pill and BMS Dual Cone intake.


P.S.. dont say tint.

Pics:

 

HR springs, shadow line trim, reflector delete, Hid fogs, Black kidney grills,

for 500 you should be able to get a good amount of those things.

 

+1 on springs!

 

i hear you on the suspension, but I really dont want to loose my comfy ride. lol

 

truthfully even with an H&R race you wont lose to much on the comfort because your shocks provide the rebound (soft/stiff) yes spring rate does effect stiffness but not like you would think it would, basically dumbed down your shocks are your soft/firm and springs control your ride height. Obviously its more complicated than that but you know what I mean! Like on M5beasts I did an H&R sport and you could barely tell the difference drivewise but the drop helped alot for appearance. AFE intake could be another good buy!

 

Im pretty happy with my intake now.

How much are the H&R's and what do you charge to install?

 

H&R Sport Spring Kit will run you $200 bucks and the Race $215, and labor breaks down to 1.5/hr for ea front and 1hr for the rear so 4hrs total @$80/hr= $320.00. And as a new customer from a forum you will receive 10% off your labor. Let me know if your interested!

 

with $500 look into used parts and such or DIY stuff.

 

i vote no for used parts on BMW. The H&R races on the beamer is a great idea, the cosmetic improvement will surely make up for the minimal ride quality loss.

 

I have a set of SI rims that'd make that bitch look hot, we'll drill an extra hole for the 5th lug. And don't buy springs, cut those bitches. Jeeeesus man, everyone knows it's the same.
