i'm the best moderator.
oh wait, u meant mod like modification?
do suspension first, power 2nd
then looks last =]

I'm about even with suspension vs. power. I say do either one first. Whichever you like.

THen do looks last. Wait a while on the angel eyes. They look cool, but they can cause all sorts of problems. Especially if you install them yourself.

??? really? i was planning on buying these lights 1st? what kind of problems do they cause?

 

[longshanks]

it depends on what you like, IMO, i did intake and exhaust for the sound pleasure.

The best mod in my opinion is to keep it extra clean and leave the damn thing alone! You won't have a classic on your hands if you throw rice at it.

Mainly just installation can be a little tough occasionally. Once they're on right, they shouldn't cause any problems. If you're careful, you won't have any problems. But they're not that cheap, so I'd rather spend that money on some performance first.

[pacismakaveli]

Hey Pac, I'm a California Kid, therefore I started the opposite way... I went for looks upfront, 18" wheels, duel rear spoilers, halo's, eye lids, curb spliters, tint, mud flaps and deflectors. Next I'm going to upgrade power with chips, cold air and exhaust and just maybe a supercharger. I'm saving suspension for last, because that's least important too me. My ride is still a work in progress. 140,000 and still rolling along... That's my two and a half cents...[driving2]

 

[pacismakaveli]

thanks, yea im going to get the halo's......but its so hard cuz there is 100 different kids....i was looking them up....im going for the white phospherus kind...but still...i have no idea how much installation is going to cost me....

What is an ECU chip? how much? and where do you get one?

 

[Zchild]

1.) ECU chips increase horsepower and torque by 9% when used with 92 or higher octane fuels. 2.) You can get one for $242.78/$895.00 or $995.00 3.) Electrodyne sells them on-line. Lastly the $242.78 is available for 3 Series 325i's from 1992-1995. They go up in cost for 3 Series 323i and 325i 1999 and newer, they come in at $895.00 and $995.00 for 3 Series 330i 2000 and newer. Happy Motoring...[driving2]
