Tint

Exhaust

Coding (seems really difficult and you'll shit your pants the first time you try it, but it's actually really easy if you follow the instructions)

Color matched reflectors

1. Lower a bit, front end in particular
2. Ditch 666 if you have them and buy nicer wheels and 19"
3. Turner skid plate
4. A few carbon fiber add ons (splitter, spoiler, etc)

Phase 3: Sound
Car could sound nicer
1. Exhaust
2. Intake

This exactly, other than that I'd say GTS hood. Makes the front end so beautiful. Reminds me of the CSL trunk factor of the E46 M3s. Also other exterior mods sideskirt/spoiler/diffuser as you please.

1) GTS Flashes - Transmission, traction control, differential, and steering.
2) Coding - turn on rear DRL, video in motion, turn off seatbelt chimes, brighter angel eyes, etcetc the list is super long.
3) BM3 or an electronic valve controller or D/C your valves to keep valves open in all gears.

Springs (or coil overs) and spacers. The wheel gap on these cars is horrendous. Unless you're tracking it, I wouldn't worry that much about performance upgrades, unless you absolutely must scratch that itch... these cars are plenty fast

Seat time! Learn the car, upgrade as you go. No need to make yours look like everyone else's. Welcome!

This. Mine is bone stock except for tint. And because everyone else has gone with black kidneys, I decided to leave mine as stock chrome.

+1 Mine is also bone stock, no tint, and I have the moonroof. I've had mine 5-1/2 years now and I love it just the way it came from BMW, especially the Sakhir Orange and the matching SO/black full leather.

Advice: M Performance exhaust is all you need. Then save your money and upgrade to a higher tier car in the future.

You will eventually get bored of M4.
