Just to quote you the example of what I did:

1. Keep the headunit
2. Keep the 6" sub under the front seats
3. Get a pre-amp, amplifier and 10" sub-w
4. Changes the front and rear speakers. For E90, the speaker size is not really common (smaller than usual) and the left me with not many choices.

With these set-up, personally I feel the sound is definitely much better than the stock audio system.

In total, it costs around 1.5K. Also, depends on what is your expectation, price is more if you get those high-end stuffs. Hehe.

Cheers

Welcome to your 1st beemer ... have just joined the club myself!

Re: Finally BMW

Hi welcome, i am new also. just change the sprint booster, you will feel the pick up more responsive with lighter tap on the throttle. worth buying especailly 2nd hand of around 300 bucks. How your F.C currently? cheer.

Bro, a full replica bodykit brandnew (made of fibreglass usually) will be less than $2K. No operation will be done on your babe. What they do is remove your stock bodykits and replaced with the replicas. There are also some add-on bodykits to your stock OEM bodykits like AC, Breyton, Hartge style....However some shops may have done it quite well, but others don't. Some of the problems you may have will be fitting issue, wavy spray-paint, net-like surface. All depends on the kits material quality and workmanship. Please do a search in this forum, plenty has been discussed already. Personally I had a bad experience with the replica rear bumper of my last ride .

Cheers
