$2000
I'm just curious to see what you guys would buy with $2000. My car is entirely stock, except for tint. So, my options are to go with a set of rims (probably wait til winter is over), or get a bunch of little stuff, like CF front lip, oem spoiler, etc.
So, the question is how would you wisely spend $2000, to get the most out of your money.

Nothing is more important than tires, use whatever is left to remove the 135 limiter.

Nothing changes the look of a car more than the wheels. However, you're going to be hard pressed to get wheels with tires. Might be able to get some decent package reps with tires, but the tires will most likely be crap tires, so you're compromising safety. If you can part out your existing tires, (stock 17" can fetch 700-1000, 18" can fetch 1800-2200), then you can make it happen. However, if you have the 18", might as well just stick with them.

what about a brake kit???
if not, i recommend you buy a rear spoiler, and windows tints
i think the front lip makes the front bumper very close to the ground and you could damage it when you are parking

my first mod was to put navigation in, not really a performance mod but as far as using it everyday it comes in very handy. i am not from this area and i really hate getting lost, its really the perfect way to drive; anywhere i am i can push a few buttons and it will direct me home or wherever i want to go.
i was looking at getting new wheels but i think i will wait till i need new tires, seems like a waste to get new rims when i dont hate the ones that are on it and have plenty of tread left. especially since there is other stuff i want to do, i can focus on them and then when i need new tires i can do that.

do yo know if to install navigation in our w204 with audio 20, you need only the screen, the nav module and the antenna or you need anything else?
i am thinking upgrade my car with command NAV but i am looking for it on ebay and they are very expensive, around 2000€ or 2500€.
do you know if it is easy to install??
thx for your help
