What mods are you doing on your leased BMW?

Busa1 · 01-19-2014, 03:12 PM

Tinted windows, black grills and a CF performance spoiler. Maybe painted reflectors on front bumper.

auf Deutsch · 01-19-2014, 03:16 PM

PPK or JB or Dinan, black kidneys, aluminum pedals, tint

Blubaron79 · 01-19-2014, 03:19 PM

PPK rear diffuser clear bra

OrbLevart · 01-19-2014, 03:30 PM

I want to go all out with the front and back bumpers (m performance parts)

Also the side skirts with the black m performance decal. Would you do this or do you think the m performance decal will ruin the pain when I return it back to stock?

Also is any drilling needed or can it be returned to stock without problems?

If it is an authentic BMW M Performance part, it actual carries residual with it when you turn your car back in with the part on it I believe.

BMS Tune
colored reflectors
coding

I dont plan on doing too much, especially mods that require me to pay for installation and then pay again to get it removed before it goes back

You only live once. Its better to drive the car exactly how you want it. At the end you can pick up an extra shift or 3 to pay the installs.

Can you explain this to me? English is my third language. What is this residual?

I bought my car using the Owners Choice option from Texas. It is like a lease but I pay a little less than a lease and I turn in the car. They will buy it from me for 28,900. If I put lets say $3000 of parts on it do they just keep it if I decide to leave them on or what is this residual?

Kafkaesque328 · 01-19-2014, 04:20 PM

BMS Stage 1. That's probably about it. I like the car so much though I may buy it @ lease end, but who knows, talk to me in 3 years haha.

You will probably get a 2016 335i Msport like me lol

I also want to do the engine tunes but can they trace this? Engine tunes are the only thing that kinda scares me. I am not a mechanic at all which is another reason.

If you get the plug and play sensor plug-in harness set up like I am getting then no, it's not detectible. Takes like 10 minutes to remove it pre-warranty work. Requires no remapping via laptop or anything. Stage 2 is more involved. IF I had an MSport 335 I wouldn't have any interest in wanting more power but I guess that is how it always is - we always want more.

Tint; black grilles; CF pillars; CF mirror covers; trunk spoiler. That's probably it.

Sedan_Clan · 01-19-2014, 06:24 PM

All of them!

It's the monetary value of the car at the end of its lease. M Performance parts are fully residualized if installed at the port. So, unlike other options, M parts add to the value of the car at lease end. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

CK335iMSport · 01-19-2014, 07:52 PM

Wheels/Tires, Bilstein Shocks/H&R Sport Springs, M-Perf black grilles, IND painted front reflector inserts/key hole cover, tint...I'll see what else comes up

Saving all of the replaceable stock parts though so I can have re-installed at the end before turn in.

joz · 01-19-2014, 10:53 PM

Not sure if I will do this yet. Will probably wait a bit (at least spring/summer).

Black grills, painted reflectors, cf mirror caps and de-badge

JN1 · 01-20-2014, 12:43 AM

LOL... the better question should be "what aren't you doing to your leased vehicle"
