How much $$$ is in your car
I know there have been threads like this before, but I just wanted to get an update as many of us have added some things for '06. How much have you invested in your car over and above the purchase price? This can include everything from fixing a tranny, tuning, parts, tires, blah, blah, blah. Finally if you had that money now would you do it all over again?
My ride is basically stock except for my wheels. I'm just curious to see if I should move forward or not waste my money.

Rep Power: 258 Its all good man. Thats a lot of money but with a bmw you have to spend all of that money and you're still stock. Plus if you ever did mod the beemer, it would cost so much more to do so. In the end you're probably better off.

about $8000
the main money grabbers were:
2 accidents (tboned by deer, black ice)
5 sets of wheels
4 sets of tires
lots of minor interior changes/upgrades
the total includes probably $500 worth of garbage i spent on stuff that i decided not to put into the car
:doh:
not included is the money i spent for maintenance, minor repairs, and also ***-rapings from the dealership that's probably around $1500.
