If you had $500 to spend...

What kind of upgrades/modifications would you do to a stock 1995 540i (automatic)? Looking for some help in spending more money. Thanks.

....an EAT Performance Chip for $200...(actually I think they are NOW ON SALE @ $189, see top of main page)...and use the leftover $300 for a full tank of gas to cruise around on for a while. OK, maybe 3 bills will get you 2-3 tanks, but only if you hurry! :p

Yeah, I'm reading up on the EAT chips right now. Looks impressive! Has anyone had problems with passing emissions? I am in Davidson County (Nashville), TN and will need to pass inspection in order to get tags.

In descending order:
1. EAT Chip
2. Valentine One
(OK, so you'll have to kick in another $100 or so)

If you dont want a V1, change all filters, switch to M1 0W40 and use the rest to enjoy the drive.

Buy a nice head unit or get clear lights all round if you like the look.

My V1 1.8 was $300 on eBay, so it can be done :)

Does a 3.46 gear ratio really make a noticeable difference in acceleration?
