I would recommend the M performance accessories especially "Carbon Fiber Front Splitter", it totally changes the look of the beast and gives an aggressive stance. Here is my build thread with some pictures that I just created a day back.

Thanks! Will check it out. That was the first mod I made on both my M3s lol

My thoughts exactly. I'm already above my budget slightly so didn't want to keep upping the price!

Next upgrade for me in a few years has to be getting back into a real M!

Ughhhh It's such a tough choice, but now that I can't edit my car it takes the decision out of my hands (thank god).

Just picked up the new X5 today... holy cow DHP makes it a whole different vehicle. Handles like a sports car!

I thought the same thing when I swapped my x5 35i out for the x5m which comes with the DHP goodies. On a tight twisty road i was able to drive my x5m like a much smaller sports car.
