What do you think of the following mods for my 95 M3

1.) 10-15% Tint (gets pretty hot around here)

2.) Eibach sport springs.....should lower it about 1 inch

3.) New CD player

4.) 19 inch rims

5.) Eisenhaus sport exhaust

I am not a fan of the 19s. You gain unsprung weight, likely increase the overall diameter of the wheel/tire (thus making the speedometer and odometer read incorrectly), and have to use very low profile tires that increase the chance of bending a rim (and cost a lot).

It is a cosmetic upgrade that will actually negatively impact the car's performance. 18s are as large as you want to go, and really you should stay with 17s.

Don't get me wrong, I like the look of large wheels, but the E36 is a small enough car that 17s look large enough IMHO, particularly if you find the right style.

I would also recommend a different exhaust than the Eisenmann, say B&B, UUC, AA, or Supersprint.

its said now that the show off ,hey look at my car its an M3, group of people get the 19's as an option on the new E46 but the drivers who buy the car for the handling take the 18's the E36 is designed for 17's don't ruin the cars pedigree of handling by fitting larger wheels. Everything else seems pretty cool.
