Mods Question

So, some questions from an individual completely ignorant to modifying a car...

I'm about to lease a new E55 and am interested in any easily removable/reversible mods that can be done. I'm not looking to sink an infinite amount of money into this thing. But, if there are some minor things that can be done to change the performance or appearance, I'm open to it! Of course, I've got to turn this thing back in 30 months from now so...

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Frankly, I would leave it stock. Performance upgrades ain' cheap. But, if you insist, perhaps a wheel upgrade will satisfy that urge to personalize.

Hmmm....I definitely wouldn't mind some wheels. What's the cost for some "basic" performance mods?

I use Kleemann, do a search for mods. Here is a link to Renntech, they post pricing but are a little more money than Kleemann.
