So far I have changed the Steering Wheel from stock to a 320mm Isotta Katiena wheel with white stitching, i ordered a BMW Roundel off ebay and fixed it to the wheel's center horn button giving it a really nice OEM stock appearence!

I've installed a front tower strut brace to secure the two shock towers while cornering quickly! More Pics of that to come.

I changed my indicator stalks to Polished aluminium Chrome Tec ones! They Feel really Heavy and Look amazing! The quality of them is unbelievable for a non OEM product. I have changed the Handbrake too from the same german company, chrome-tec.de.
These two mods feel amazing and look amazing, Highly recommended!

I have installed Retrofit Chrome roll Bars, the 1 piece ones were my only option because i did not have the center brackets welded into the car, only the two crucial outer brackets, and i didn't want to cut up the plastic for the 2 piece ones to fit in, badly at that!

I Have changed the Wheels from stock to Genuine BMW 18" M tech alloys from a Z4 with Kumho Low profile Rubbers on them.
They make the ride more bumpy but they are well worth it for the handling and looks!!
