Trustworthy Company For Aftermarket Parts?

PalmaCiotti328i · 02-02-2011, 10:17 AM

I currently just bought my first BMW. Alpine White 328i X-drive with Red Interior. I'm trying to find a trustworthy company to buy aftermarket parts from. I heard Dinan is very trustworthy but i also heard that they are no longer affiliated with BMW. Also any ideas on some good mods to start off? Currently i have just did aesthetic mods such as tinted window, tinted taillights and reflectors and yellow HID fogs, and just waiting for all this snow to be gone so i can throw on my 18in Beyern Mesh rims on.

Is modding a 328 worth it? I can't imagine any real power gains unless you supercharge or turbo it. I would stick to aesthetics and call it a day.

I agree, all you should do is aesthetics. Or nothing at all. But, if you do, there are a lot of things you can do to make your car look sick! 2nd on Alan @ **********s. He is knowledgeable and helpful.

Like all the others have said, don't bother. Just to get a 328 to 335 standards, then you're going to have to pour more money into the 328 than it would have cost you to get a 335. Aesthetics wouldn't be a bad idea though
