I haven't spend anything on my car this year aside from gas and oil. I was at school all year and have been saving my money so I can mod my car some in the summer.

Just the cylinder head this year, about $1500. Saved a lot on gas driving less with one stop planning

[delmarco]

I love the color of your car BTW. My favorite color on any BMW.

I spent about $1200 on the suspension upgrades, and recently $680ish for a couple of wheel bearings, I also got new pads recently and sensors for the pads.

aprox $1200 on insurance, and Gas I have no Idea.

Next year:
New Rear Rotors, Probably upgraded pads once the weather gets nice, Maybe a new set of rubber, and some mods if I can find some extra cash.

I have yet to spend anything on my 535i, but my 325i i spent approx. $2000 on repairs before it got jacked. So that was kind of a waste. But next year I plan to do quite a bit to my 535. And only a fraction of it will be in repairs. Mostly performance and cosmetic.
- paint
-big brakes
-sound
-underdrive pulleys maybe, gotta research the benefits.

I did so much I dont even remember.... damn

ask me after Jan 1, when I meet with my CPA and he tells me what I owe in taxes and "reminds" me (once again) what I squandered and didn't invest.
