Using Sig to add things up... I refuse to calculate the rest and won't count any labor costs or used maintanence items to preserve my mental health.
Bootmod3 - $595 MPE - $375 GPlus FMIC - $200 KW V2 - $1850 F80 LCA/TS - $700~ Apex SM-10 - $1300 Hankook RS4 - $800 Hawk HP+ - $230 RBF600 - $40 StopTech Lines - $100 Total - $6190 There are definitely some odds and ends I'm forgetting... best left forgotten.

I'm assuming you're including the cost of the car as a "mod" right? The F series doesn't really have THAT much you can do to the car

Man this is great. It's like therapy. You guys are my support group.
One of the reasons I posted this is because my wife thinks I am insane to spend money on a perfectly fine car. She just doesn't get it. I plan on keeping this car for 5 years so I know I will keep modding little by little.

The DEPO headlights are a cosmetic modification over the stock halogens that it had (I detailed in my ownership thread that this car was a complete stripper model with basically no options). The replacement headlight was due to a wiring issue that actually wasn't solved by replacing the headlight at all either so it was a pointless purchase.

In this thread, if you're winning, you're actually really losing LOL.
I definitely don't feel bad since I didn't spend 80k (including mods) on an F series, but most of the M3 guys spent stock Porsche GT3 prices, so it's all relative..

Honestly that's one of the reasons I sold my 340i.

now this...
Mine is completely stock as it came from the factory. Won't it be worth more as a collector this way?
I wish....... Oh, I did change the tires to go flats, but that can be easily reversed. |

This is very true. Unless you really make a shit ton of money you really need a budget with cars. I have learned to study up on finance and invest quite a bit. Most finance "gurus" recommend not buying a car on credit. If you can buy cash or a small loan you can't afford it. I live in the real world and work hard for my money. I splurge a little on cars but still keep it under control sort of. I bought my car for 33k so almost half price off of new sticker that came with car.

With that said, fortunately I've spent even less than 33k, including all my mods. I was just lucky the seller had no idea what he had and sold the car to me for the same price a dealer offered him, which is always super low. Still had factory warranty on it too!
