You can take it nice and slow, just doing one or 2 things at a time. Generally speaking, mods fall into 2 categories: cosmetic and performance. Some bolt-on mods are available at the dealer: front skid plate, underride guard, running boards, etc. Some you can find on this forum under "items for sale". You can order iPod docks from BSW. Performance mods include modified exhausts, cold air intakes, engine software, drilled rotors, the sky is the limit. I am a fan of Dinan mods myself. They do not void your warranty, but they can get pricey. Other great brands include Supersprint (for exhaust), AFE (cold air intake), HRE (wheels), BBS (wheels). There is no end, your budget will be the only limiting step. Start by looking at some of the photos here on the forum to see what you like and what you don't like.

Here's some mod links to get you started:

BMW Audio | Bavarian Soundwerks

Dinan BMW | BMW Performance

And some mods are BOTH cosmetic and performance... like a hot girlfriend in the passenger seat.
