Best mod for under $50 ??

**uberhahn** · 01-26-2005, 01:19 PM

Ok, post-em up. What is the best modification (performance, convenience, maintenance...whatever) you have done to your E34 (or other 5)?

The price should be around $50. If that's too low, go to $100.

I posted this thread on an old Toyota Landcruiser forum and got nearly 400 replies.

My vote:

Just purchased a key fob for my car. The PO lost it. Got it off of Ebay, and will re-program it when it arrives Friday. $31.00 including shipping.

Second one, was replacing my fog lights. The housings and lenses were cracked. Found some Depo lights for $50 for the pair.

Clear bumper sidemarkers, 4 for about $30 bucks

They just make clear corners blend right in and look great.

Thank you

Those are them. Get some blue painter's tape and a can of flat black testors...still under $50

front license plate filler and euro bumper strips.
still haven't arrived from bma (very weird) but they
were like 50 bucks i think and they will look
uber nice.

needless to say thats been the best so far.

also for 100 the M5 shifter surround... got rid of that useless expanse of wood.

50 bucks got me fitted rubber floormats and the euro trim peices were about that much too. Both make a world of difference to me

I very much like the look of this piece and when I see an E34 without it I get the feeling that it's not quite finished. For my 525i I bought this piece new from the Dealer maybe 12 years ago at a cost of over $200, and when we bought the 540i I just had to "finish" it off - it was less than $50 from the Wreckers.
