What mod really made you fall in love with your car?

Like the title says.

Was there anything that you did to your car that really made you love it?
Did this mod improve on something you thought was lacking?

Could be anything, aesthetic that made you love the look.
Or internal that made you love the way it drove.

The single greatest performance mod any owner can do yet surprisingly the least talked about one.

Agreed on this. I have been to several M schools and still want to go back and do more!

Otherwise my favorite mod on my OLD M3 was my exhaust.

Need to put some more money into my F80 before I know what to pick!

Granted this thread is young and many folks are on stock tires, but surprised there aren't wheel/tire comments so far.

My exhaust at first.

Then I just installed my catless DP, and now I love downpipes.

Why not? I plan to change my wheels / tires but I see no reason to throw away a perfectly good set of tires. I wouldn't consider tires as a mod but more of a necessity.
