Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

Upgrades for my car. I have a 2010 BMW M3, and I plan on getting rims and a cool air intake. Anything else you guys have in mind?

What's up fellow E9X M3 owner.
Which did you get?

To answer your question:
I picked up GTS rims and a Vorsteiner carbon fiber trunk for my M3.
Either could be gotten for under 5k.
Though if you only have 5k in your savings, buying things for your car may not be the best course of action.


I aspire to be like you. Work for Bungie and own amazing cars, my jealousy cannot be contained. What other cars do you own if you don't mind me asking?

How do you only have 5k in savings but a 40k car?

Not to sound snide, but you may want to get some priorities straight. I hate it when I see people blow every last penny they own on stuff they want.

But that's just my opinion...

That lotus wouldn't happen to be yours as well would it?

Wake me, when you need me.

Nice car, op. I assume you're young, and that makes me jelly. Simply because I wish I had a nice car like that when I was driving in my teenage years, 'cuz females would be mirin'.


Save your money, doe. BMW have high maintenance costs.

*bro five* very similar cars, I wish I could take pics like that haha. I'm willing to spend up to 6-7k. And I have quite a bit more in savings from working and stuff if someone shows me something I really like.

Dad set me up with the premier matinence package so I'm set. Plus, I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to say anything, but the only reason why I have such a nice car is 1. I worked my ass off to get it, and 2. I come from a high middle class family. I'm very privileged to have the car and don't plan on getting another car for years man, years.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

2001 BMW M3 is best M3.

This is what is wrong with our country and economy. you probably aren't that old of a person with disposable income. Also none of these things are essential for your car. You can "trick your ride out", or you can save it for something that can create real value. Read up on the time value of money and invest it in something (Stocks, bonds,etc...). And before you say you know nothing about investments, you probably already took a considerable amount of time researching useless things for a car.

How does this have anything to do with what I asked? Not trying to be a jerk or anything (i really am not), but what? I like my car and I'd like to do stuff with it, I see no harm done

I get what your saying, but this is money I've been saving for years. I think I totally deserve it. But I'm not mad, because this idea is justified

Ah well. I'm jealous of your car anyway. Would love one some day.

You might be able to find something you like here, however.

Sorry for coming off as a dick, long night. I assume it took you 1. A while to pay for this car. 2. A while to save $5,000. The amount of time you took to earn this money is now being put into something that I believe in the end of the day is has no value. Instead of putting the money into rims that create zero value for you, you can use your saved money to make you money.

In my eyes you are willing to spend 5k on something that is useless and has very little value. Instead you can use your 5k and have the potential to easily grow it to 5.5k and beyond. With a little bit of time you will have more than $5,000, buy whatever you want, and then have extra money to fall back on.

Then again, if it took you very little time to make this money, or you place an intrinsic value on rims or whatever that is much larger then zero then at the end of the day do whatever makes you happy.

I still find it hard to believe you own a 40-50k car, but w/e. You spent it on your car, I spent mine on a car...and a 4 year old.

Lemme tell ya, kids are hazardous to your wealth, especially the cute ones.

Still buying my ZX-6R and Camaro tho lol.
