Mods for 428i GC

So I have a 2015 Black Sapphire Metallic 428i GC and overall I think it's a good looking car despite the weird dual exhaust that honestly looks pathetic on such a sporty looking car. Anyways, recently I’ve had a surplus of money and have started looking at certain mods for the car. I’ve looked at spoilers, wheels, carbon fiber trims for the interior, and even a new one of those m sport steering wheels with the shift lights.

The problem I tend to run into here is that I'm just not entirely sure what looks good. I live in a relatively nice part of Phoenix, Arizona and I’ve seen a few modded F36 and F32’s, etc. with lips which look athletic but at the end of the day, I'm still indecisive. Also, I really don’t want to get into like putting on a diffuser or anything just simply some quick mods. My budget is around 2k. What are some acceptable things to do?

Mods for 428i GC

It sounds like you've only really considered cosmetic/aesthetic mods. Are performance mods not of interest?

What are your goals? Do you want it just to look different/"better"? Or do you want improved performance, be it power or handling?

Also, you posted in the wheels/tires forum. Might get better traction in the general forum.

Also, IMO, the digital M Performance wheel (with the LCD display and LED shift lights) would be overkill for a vast majority of people. MAYBE if you did some serious tracking, but otherwise, that money would be better spent elsewhere. And on an otherwise stock car, it would look out of place, sort of like if you had race buckets and a 5 point harness in a daily driver. Might look cool for a bit, but you probably would find yourself not using the functions very much, if at all.
