M3 Mods???
Hey Guys,
I'm buying an 04' m3 as a daily driver and want to beef it up a bit. Can anyone give me some advice on mods? Can you also recommend a place in south FL.
Thanks

Active Autowerks in South Miami is the best known BMW tuner here...Personally drive the car before dong anything to it, mine with the Comp pkg honestly needs nothing. The idea of a dialy driver too me as mine is. Is a car you can buy out of the box and leave it be, mod the turbos and other P cars. This car can be left alone.
However I have heard the gears are a big difference however $2500 for a new rear is alot of money to spend to gain what it gives you. As well I have heard a few M3 exhausts and as a DD the stock is fine. I had the PSE on both my 996's and that was enough for me..I always ran it w. out the electronics though.
