Modding Forum

So there should be an all inclusive forum about modding. Where to start and what the most popular mods are. Also if they are performance mods they should include how they improve the car. Is there a section like this that I missed? I have a 435i Gran Coupe and am looking at doing some mods.

And I can tell you what the most popular mod is - that awfully cheap-looking, plastic red Start/Stop button!
If you don't get it - you are either weird or have a taste.

There literally was a thread like this just a few days ago. People want to mod to go fast, but they never like the "real" answer to going fast, but I'll give it anyway:

Tires - lose your run flats and get some good tires like Continental Extreme Sports or MPS4S. There are lots of options and almost anything is better than the run flats

Brakes - upgrade your brakes so you can brake later which means you will be faster

Suspension - for both cosmetic and handling advantages

High Performance Driving School - make those kids choke on their energy drinks and drop their vape mods when you show them that there is more to driving than flooring it and turning the volume up on the radio.

Tune - when it comes to just go and torque numbers, nothing is more bang for the buck than a tune in your FI car.

A cynical person will assume you will skip the brakes and tires, the two most important things on the list besides the school. A hopeful person will assume you'll do the right thing because your smarter than the typical bro dude.

Couldn't agree more. Followed by the coca-cola plastic cap start-stop button.

I'm never a fan of uneven window tint. The same shade should be on all windows or none (sans windscreen). As I get older I like lighter shades of tint as I think it's a classier look than 20% or darker.
