Montizzle 325i Well for starters your paying for a premium car up front. Expect mods to be much more part for part than entry level vehicles. If you feel bad, just imagine how much the lambo guys are paying for intakes!
Yeah no kidding. I was at the Bimmer store right near my house, and they sell a lot of just general top end cars (Porsche, Lambo, Lotus, etc. ) and I went in there looking for a kidney grill. Talking to the inventory guy, I saw a Lambo parked outside. And I asked him about it. The guy says that the guy wanted brand new wheels and that they cost $10,000. A WHEEL!!! I was like...wait what? Yeah. Apparently it was his 3rd pair or something. I paid for my $20 dollar kidney grill and left haha...
Totally understand the entire aspect of buying the Bimmer "out-of-the-box". I wouldn't trade my car in for anything else (except for a better Bimmer). It just frustrates me when his car is sitting there with crazy power on tap and he spent several grand. If I wanted those numbers it would be ridiculous. Even then, things like short shifters and clutches are really just overly expensive. Oh well. I guess it comes with the territory.
