This is an excellent point. I started looking into some of the basic mods that work on most cars like intake and exhaust, but everything I read says that what came out of the factory is very good. I was shocked to learn that the exhaust manifolds on the 540i are more akin to tube headers.Originally Posted by genphreak
My previous car is a 1994 Chevy Caprice with an LT1 5.7L V8. I bought it because the car was cheap and fast, and cheap to mod. It's no BMW though.

nmwaldron, this question has been asked many times by other newbies. I understand it is sometimes tough to search for the exact subject you want, but try using different keywords, it may take some time.
As you can see, the consensus on the board is to first assure the car is running at optimal operation. Routine maintenance is the best practice for good performance. You aren't going to get much gain out of modifications if your engine is idling imperfectly or your suspension is vibrating.
Check out bmwe34.net for more information on maintenance and upgrades.
Although the chip is the biggest bang for your buck, if you are worried about costs, you should know that you must use the highest octane gasoline while using a chip. If you already do, great! Go for a EAT chip! The chip does manage your engine better which means better fuel economy is one of its many advantages. I calculated that a chip will roughly pay for itself after one year in fuel savings.
Good choice on the change of automobile!
