Simple/low cost mods we can all do. What's yours?
Thought we should get this thread started now as the majority of us are starting to get our vehicles rather soon.
everyone can throw out some ideas. For white/silver/sophisto/black F10's -- if you don't want to spend $$$ on new rims -- how about getting your stock wheels powder-coated flat black??

The first thing I will do when I get my car (F10 550i) and break it in is look for shiv and ask him to get his procede V4 ready for my car. I think this is the best "bang for the buck" mod out there.

Just jump out the ashtray and you will be amazed how well the key stays inside There is no need anymore to stay opened the cup holders.
Of course, this is suitable only for non smokers |

Just a note of caution about new valve caps: I put some logo caps on our new Jeep only to discover too late that contrasting metals can react negatively and fuse together! It was as if they were welded together. Cost me $100 per stem to replace because they were tire pressure monitors. Ouch.
I have used custom value caps on all my BMWs and never had this problem ... but I don't think I will any more. |

Axxis Deluxe Plus brake pads were the best upgrade I did on my 330ci. The performance was 95% of the factory pads and black dust on the wheels was gone forever.
It'll be my first upgrade on any BMW I own. Then rims, then lowering springs (small drop) unless the factory msport is low enough. I think the e60 msport needs no lowering, but he f10 could use a drop based on everything I've seen.
