If you had $40K to spend on your M3/4, what would you buy?

If someone gave you $40,000 and said you have to spend it on your M3/4, what would you do?

I would buy:

HRE P101 in gloss black
KW V3's
Custom Tune
Pure Turbo Upgrade
Brembo 6 Piston BBK front and 4 piston rear (red)
MSR Cold Air Intake
Akra Catless DPs
M Perf Carbon Fiber Mirrors
M Perf exhaust w/ CF tips / Akra / AWE (can't decide)
M Perf Front splitters and CF lip, spoiler, diffuser, console trim, shift knob, seat backs, and steering wheel.
Full Clear Bra to protect my beast

I'm sure I'm missing other mods I would buy if I looked harder.

I’m not sure I could get myself to spend $40K on mods even with someone else’s money. But I would happily use it to cover all the lease payments.

Put my mother in law in it, then run it off a cliff, then get another CPO M3.

I won't care what I'm driving at that point.

I’m just not certain I could find a way to spend 40k on my car. It’s mostly how I want it already.

Id buy an extended warranty to last the life of the car. Id buy lots of break pads, tires, and washer blades. Id take the rest of the money left and put it all into the best possible sounds system I could get.

^^^ best answer so far, and by a wide margin...except i'd pass on the sounds, get a set of R101s, a square Apex set and a pile of Hoosiers.

If you really wanted to stick with m4, sell it and get m4 GTS

At least it’s got some chance to appreciate and in the meantime you already a lot of the mods you’d want to do anyway

Same here. I have a hard time justifying $4k on an exhaust on a depreciating asset let alone $40k. Unless this is like Brewster’s Million where I end up with more money for spending it all 😂.

Nope. Stockpiling tires will just go bad.

1:1 instruction from the best racing instructor I can find combined with private track days, insurance, and consumables until the money runs out.

Yes, I consider the above an investment in the car because the most expensive performance mods mean nothing if my skills cannot use them.
