Car Mods I Regret Doing (And What I’d Do Differently)

I’ve had the opportunity to do a wide range of car modifications over the past few years. In this video I want to talk about some of the mods that didn’t work out and I’ll offer some alternatives so you guys don’t make the same mistakes I did. As I’ve gotten older, my preferences for car modifications lean on the subtle side. Reliability and daily drivability remain my top priorities.

    Hey would you happen to know what software I could use to update the 'Service History' in the head unit/iDrive? I see a lot of European videos, but nothing from the US. Seems odd that the US dealerships/US market doesn't use something that was designed to replace the stamped maintenance booklets that are not digitized.

There's no such thing as follow the movement + there's no more grateful than a mod that improve your car and make You happy. If you're young, you have a 328i e92 and you want a m packet, go for it! You will have a great looking car if you do things well and you can drive a nice looking cheap bmw. I think it's really sad to drive a car you don't like. I rather have a commuter or nothing at all!

It is not loud and it still works as a daily that I occasionally take to the track. Makes 380hp and its not enough to kill you but enough to have some fun.

  • @chinoyhouse8247
    @chinoyhouse8247 Před 3 dny

    When I was younger I modified my cars just like you guys. Lowered stance, body kits, lights and loud exhaust. when I got my first my first german car 11 years ago which was an E90 I started to appreciate the design language. One factor was I really can’t afford to mod out the E90 as it was costly and labour is expensive just to add some parts. then I began to appreciate BMWs own catalog that can buy you enhancements for the car. They call it BMW performance back then. After years of owning my E90, the only mod i’ve done was install an OEM 18” wheel with a different design, the rest of the money went into maintenance and detailing. When I switched cars with the F30 335i I became more of a purist, I’ve decided to order with an M sport package with the colour I like and the interior colour that I fancy. 3 years later I regretted not getting the MPPK package while ordering it so I had to retrofit the MPPK power package to get that extra oomph. I was also tempted to install the rear foglight mod that Justin was doing. In 2020, the pandemic hit and we decided to get something more practical for the current situation especially at that time where everything was uncertain, so we decided to get a base model BMW X3 30i as our daily with Xdrive so its gonna go anywhere. I didn’t mod the X3 it is all stock until today. At present, the X3 has become a daily workhorse for us and is really dependable but it wasnt as exciting as a 335i F30. We decided to get something fun and all we can afford as a second car is a new 2024 430i. We ordered it in the color combo we liked and the m sport option. Not as fast as the 440i but its enough for me. Happy Driving!

    On my 2005 Vitz 2sz-fe I had a pipe made to loop around the cat with switch control valve flaps, when the flaps are closed it sounds stock and I don’t get a ticket for loud exhaust, and when the flaps are open it’s loud. Before I had made my exhaust straight pipe and got tired of it and am 21, been driving for 2 years with the straight pipe, and decided to fit back the mufflers, cat and silencer, and also made a loop pipe to bypass all the filters if I wanted a loud exhaust, it did drop the power about 5HP which I’m ok with it, you can maybe do the same with your exhaust if you have some space under the FRS
