Help!!!

I got E46 M3 w/ Competition package, and what do you think I should do w/ it first?

[AlpinweissM3]

Do with it meaning aftermarket mods right? If you have a comp package you really dont need to do much, just enjoy it. Maybe try doing some asthetic mods like blacked out kidney grills and side vents those are the first mods I think that I am going to do. I also forgot get a set of painted reflectors for the front bumper the orange ones are ugly.

Do the suspension, upgrade brake pad compound and tint the windows . Then do the exhaust, intake and some software.

thanks...i already got intake, and exhaust, but don't really know what kind of suspension and com. chip should i get, and what do you think if i supercharcharge the car or shold i go turbocharge?

I'd suggest the BMW M-Performance school. Learning to drive the car well will make you and the car faster. Add-on's are nice for bragging rights, but it's better to actually know you can extract 100% of the cars potential before boogering it up with bolt on crap.

Got to agree that going to a driving school will be a great investment. Let's face it, the stock M3 has plenty of go already and not necessarily that many places to take advantage of it.

^ ^ +3 take it to a school, go to autox sessions learn your car in a safe environment

I think the first thing you need to do before starting the modding process is decide what you want to ultimately end up with in regards to your M3.

Do you want a show car complete all the swing and bling? Do you want a fully streetable vehicle? Do you want a full track car? Do you want a fast straight-line car? Or perhaps a cornering monster?

Or do you want a combination of all those things?

Once you answer those questions for yourself, then you can start deciphering which direction to go for modifications.

But you can't go wrong with upgrading your suspension, though!
