I've done all the reliability mods:
Replacement all aluminum cooling system
Chassis reinforcements
Electric Fan

Safety mods:
Euro-OEM ZKW glass projector lens headlights (the stock US ones are literally dangerous at night IMO)
Euro-BMW M3 2-Piece brake rotors (the US version was single piece steel, so these reduce unsprung weight)
EBC brake pads
Bilstein Coilovers (for modern performance+comfort)
Full Swaybars

And did a few performance mods:
TMS Stage 3:
aFE Cold Air Intake
3.5" HFM
24lb fuel injectors
Schrick Performance Cams
TMS chip

Dinan high flow throttle body
Short shifter with ZKW shift knob
BMW 3.38 Differential (from a 99 M3 Vert Auto)
S52 Headers
And a Borla SS catback exhaust which I LOVE, this is my favorite part of the whole car.

It looks stock on the inside and out but underneath it's been upgraded for more reliability, safety, feel, sound, and power!
Wow 15 years, that's great.

Those are some very solid mods you've got there. I've also got a Borla catback on mine, sounds great! Do you also have the underbody X-Brace? They made quite a big difference on mine!

Agreed about the stock headlights, even with updated bulbs, they're horrible. And if it's a combination of night and rain, you're right, you're better off using flashlights
