    The offical Cheap Mod thread.

    We all love to mod, otherwise we probably wouldn't be here. Nothing beats a cheap mod that makes a big difference and puts a smile on your face.

    Having said that, post up your cheap mods that you have done that cost under say... $50.00

    Post the name of the mod, the cost, what you did and how you did it. Feel free to add pictures or link a DIY that shows how you did it. This way we can compile one grand list of all the "poor man" mods and share new ideas that others may not have thought of.

    Golf Tee Mod: Free if you have a golf tee or screw, Not applicable to all vehicles! Works on stock mufflers. If you have the stock exhaust with the flap in it, remove the vacuum line from the top and plug it up with a golf tee. the flap remains open at all times, giving you a deeper exhaust note.

    How do you know if you have the flap? Look at your muffler, don't ask here, just go look.

    Paint match trunk spoiler: Cost, 30-40 dollars. Bought on ebay from here. Perfect paint match and fit http://myworld.ebay.com/bmwchop168/&...84.m1439.l2754



    E46 to E39 shifter swap:Cost, 30-40 and patience. Search ebay for used knobs find the one you want then follow this DIY on how to swap them out http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...tic-shift-knob.


    Carbon fiber key wrap: Cost, free. Get a free sample of vinyl carbon fiber wrap, cut out the pieces needed and wrap your key. Here is the DIY http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1832000


    LED Interior: Cost 10-40. Depending on where you shop, ebay or superbrightleds.com Remove old bulbs and replace with LED's. Here are the bulb sizes
    2 39mm x 10mm for the footwells
    2 39mm x 10mm for the license plate
    2 44mm x 10mm for the vanity mirror lights
    2 44mm x 10mm for the trunk lights
    3 194 bulbs for the center light/front maplights
    4 194 bulbs for the rear/rear interior lights
    1 39mm x 10mm for the glove box.



    Intake Heat shield: Cost, around $20 or less. Buy a sheet of aluminum, cut, bend and shape into a heat shield for aftermarket intakes. DIY found here. http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...r-less-than-80

    ^^ Reminded me of a mod I did to my e36 which can work on an e46.

    Under hood roundel: Cost free or the cost of a set of new or aftermarket roundel(s) I had bought a set of carbon fiber roundels to replace the OEM ones. I had 2 left over OEM roundels. I popped the hood, removed the cowl, measured out dead center, drilled two small holes and popped on the roundel.

    OEM Aux input - $30 BMW P/N 82110149389.

    I mounted mine next to the right heated seat button - discrete when not in use, looks OEM and works perfectly.

    Buy this cable and the Bimmian Mobile dash mount for a clean setup.
