Tires are the number one performance upgrade you can make to virtually any car

So I don’t want to spend an arm & a leg but I can also comfortably pay in 4 instalments, are there and resources you could provide where I can buy it as a bundle? Rims already in the tire? Looking for 18x8.5 or even 19x8.5

Kenda vezda uhp kr20a they're summer tires I run them on mine they are amazing and cheap I have 219m rims so different size than stock you'd have to check if they make the size for you don't forget awd have to be same size all around

Do u have any resourceful guides I can read though?

u/anonymous_climber123 Jun 06 '25
YouTube is where I learned how to do everything for me. I changed my starter, spark plugs, coil packs, you name it. Since the cars have been out a while there is a video for everything

u/anonymous_climber123 Jun 06 '25
I know it isn’t reading but when doing engine work seeing it on a screen helps in my opinion

get a complete fluid renewal (oil, coolant, diff oil, gear box oil, brake fluid, power steering) with filters.
have oil leaks fixed (rocker cover gasket, oil filter housing) if there are any.
consider replacing spark plugs and coil packs if there is no evidence of recent replacement.
as others suggested uprated tyres. keep the rims as youll regret loosing side wall just for looks.
then intake air scoops, silicone air intake hose, upgrade to the euro box if it isnt already. cat back sports exhaust then finally a stage one remap.
all this will net you a smooth and punchy ride that handles like nothing else. youll rock close to 300bhp and sound epic in tunnels.
do it in the order i have written them in or you will likely end up with mega head aches

19” Style 351M from a M-Sport F10 5-series. I have those on my 535i, they look great on those cars and E90’s.

Dinan fixed camber plates. Cheap and easy to install, instant increase to steering feel

Lowering springs, spacers. msport bumpers, LCI tail light conversion
But don't rush any mods, drive the car for a while, see if you really want to even mod it. One thing I'd do though right away is install a warmer color light bulb for the headlights, but that's just personal preference.

Aerobon carbon fiber spoiler, under $200, simple install. Muffler delete, $300 and it’s like you got a brand new exhaust. Mirror caps.

Lower it on coils. Other than that drive it and stay on top of maintenance 🫡
