Hello!
Just picked up my new to me 2015 BMW 320i X drive in black on black. Its pretty base model (manual seats no reverse cam) I plan on doing reverse cam soon, and later put in some Recaro CS seats. Other than that BMW Msport bumper, rear bumper with dual exhaust, smoke the tails and hopefully upgrade the stock headlights (i have non Xenon and no angel eyes
 ) other than that possibly new wheels and lowering springs. |

Welcome and congrats! You didn't mention what rubber you're running on so I'll suggest if you're on Runflats that might be the best place to start your modding adventure.

Congratulations and welcome! With so many options to make your vehicle even better (for your tastes), improving suspension behavior is one of the top ones.
xDrive vehicles have base suspension with noticeable body roll and "float" symptoms. It may be just fine for you however. Before considering lowering springs, it'w worthwhile to research Suspension forum to learn more about advantages / disadvantages of: 1. Installing lowering springs only 2. Installing different shock absorbers (ex: Bilstein B6) with stock springs 3. Installing different shock absorbers (ex: Bilstein B8) with lowering springs 4. Installing coilovers which provide matched springs / shocks by design |

While I am new to BMW I am not new to modifying cars.
 i have had a 470hp Ford Taurus SHO, and a lowered wide body color shift Ford Fusion. My list to do is Recaro CS seats, BMW M Sport front and rear bumper and exhaust. Coilovers or Air ride (not sure what one yet) M brake kit, CF interior, upgraded laser headlights with halos, new intercooler, ECU flash and other minor bits. here is the 320i as she sits now (she is three days old to me.)  |

I did most of what you listed on my 328, less the air ride and intercooler.
