Bought a new 650i convertible. What now?

I want to add some modifications for both speed and looks. Rims possibly first...exhaust what else is good for these cars?

Honestly I really like the factory look of the Rims - you go the 20s.. maybe you can add an exhaust for a better growl. How is the drive?

Good grief, with factory rims like those, why spend the money on new ones? They're beautiful.

The car is so new that I dunno what are good tweaks to make. I drove a convertible in March and loved it, although the exhaust sound was pretty tame even with the top down. I expected more aggressive sound. The exhaust note was nice when you got on it, but near silent the rest of the time. Perhaps that is the way many will like it.

This may be a problem for me, as I have a coupe ordered, and I would like a more throaty sound, audible more of the time.

Enjoy your new car. Not much can be done to improve it, although I did order the M Sport package with the LED lights and the Bang & Olufsen sound system. Don't know if these options can be retrofit.

I would probably get the rims with the flux capacitor and time travel capabilities

Drove a 650i today - awesome ride! Really needs an exhaust to liven it up. The engine sounds very mechanical - I wonder if there is an intake or something to give it some M type noises?

Great ride.
