Im looking at my car, and thinking Im Bored??

Well Ive had my 335i for about a year. ABout 6 months ago I started modding and have since spend alot of money on mods. But I now take a look at my car and think it looks a bit boring or generic. Dont get me wrong I love my car. But it doesnt really stand out. Most mods are performance. Yesterday I added a hamann replica front lip which I like a lot. And next weekend Ill have the roof, shark fin, chrome window trim, and front kidney grills wrapped in gloss black. That will then match the gloss black centers of my ICONZ 960 wheels and gloss black front hamann lip. What other mods that wont break the bank can I get that will give the car a nice classy look? thanks in advance for any replies.

It should look good... I would look at some Blacklines or white lines for your tail lights.

Black/white lines would be good as well as mtech rear as stated earlier. LED angel eyes are nice too if you haven't done those yet. Coding adds some nice features to the car (not to mention AE as DRLs if you don't have those already). White LED bulbs for license and under door/ puddle lights also add a bit to the car.

Thanks everyone. Im gonna have to look at some of the options everyone mentioned. The mtech bumper sounds pretty good as well as the blacklines. What are mtech bumpers going for?

Be careful not to overdo it. Sometimes, less is more. Modding is a fine art, often the most important element is knowing when to quit

My problem is having nothing to mod really- got my 335 E93 in black sapphire and the m-sport package, so not much cosmetically I can do with it really

Im sure your car looks good already. But I know what you mean, sometimes less is more. I dont know if Im going crazy or what. But I stand back and look at my car and I feel like it just doesnt stand out too much. Not that I want it to stand out in a bad way, but just some tasteful exterior mods.

I think your car looks fantastic man!
Definitely Mtech bumpers front and rear and a nice m3 spoiler (in gloss black) will really set it off even more if you're going that route.
Pics when it's done!

The M3 spoiler in gloss black sounds pretty nice. I like that idea. Thanks for the compliments by the way.

Clean ride, you can think about a set of spacers for the rear and blackline taillights first...!!!

Go M-Tech and some nice side skirts. The side of the e90's are ridiculously boring... it needs to be spiced up for sure! I added the bmw performance skirts on mine and I fell in love again...

Someone did mention spacers before, can I pull off spacers without having to roll the fenders?

I actually have someone coming to do the gloss black roof wrap this upcoming weekend along with the chrome window trim and kidney grills. But blackline do sound pretty good.
