    Affordable mods?

    Would love to get everyone's input on some budget mods they started out with!

    Here are my first affordable mods that I jumped on immediately.

    I would say my favorite "affordable" mod to my blauzed is the E90 hidden compass/homelink recessed grey clown nose auto dim mirror. It looks so right in the sedan/touring models...





    Here's a link to one if you want to get it

    Here are a few shots showing the same type of mirror installed on my blauzed…

    First one I can think of is CDV delete, as that's free. Oh, and also deleting the underhood insulation, if it happens to be crumbling.

    I think another good budget mod are quality wheel studs, a kit from FCP is about $120, it makes swapping wheels so much easier and you can replace them every other year or so under warranty.

    All excellent mods for what I would say are "affordable mods"... when I replace my clutch slave cylinder I will also be doing the CDV delete. I already have wheel studs in my garage... just need to get a set of titanium wheel lugs for them

    Man, I love the responses! I wish I had this type of help when I first got in the E46 game.
