Hey thanks for checking out my Bmw. If you are on a modest budget, I would look into getting the side moldings and bumpers painted to match the car color; this really cleans up the look of the ti. Second, if your budget allows, i would lower it a bit; our Ti's always look too high in stock form, way too much fender gap. If you are running fairly new shocks, you could just purchase lowering springs (either H&R or Eibach). However, plan on purchasing sport shocks in the near future since lowering springs can prematurely wear-out the stock shocks. Other than that, there are tons of little things that you can do, such as the ones "Weibcompact" mentions in his post. Euro ellipsoid headlights or swapping out your stock amber lights for either clears or smoked like mine is also a cheap mod which alters the overall look of the car. Anyways, hit me up again if you need any more info on where to find these products or have any other questions about our Ti�s.

hey bud. you got a good looking ti. man brings back memories. anyways there are a lot of cheap things you could do. it just depends on how much work you want to put into it. if you have questions hit me up again. i would say the cheapest and most defining mod on the car are lights. those will make a huge difference. also small things like painting the chrome on the kidney grills black gives a more aggressive look. it is all up to you and what you want to do. btw, dont waste money on an intake because they basically do not do anything for our cars. instead get a good drop in filter (i.e. K&N or a foam filter like me) and fogg your airbox.

hey it looks nice but i think that all e36s (including mine) look much better with painted bumpers instead of that ugly gray plastic... that'd cost at least a couple hundred though =\
