Top mods

Just picked up my first BMW
2011 Z4 35i Titanium Silver 6 spd manual
19" wheels - non run-flats
executive package
adaptive M suspension

Am going to do a tune - MHD stage 1.
Purchased a K&N air filter

What are the other top mods being done?
Especially the ascetic side of things?

Be careful of your wheels cracking. 296 model wheels were particularly prone to cracking. If you catch them early, they can be repaired.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I had no idea.
Where in particular do they crack?

Rear wheels affected more than front. Inner side of the rims. Just do a quick google search and you'll find photos as well as multiple threads on the issue.

There was a class action lawsuit against BMW for these wheels cracking.

FWIW, BMW appears to have revamped this wheel style later on with thicker metal. So it's possible you could have a sturdier version.
