White Chromie 325i auto convertible with a blue roof and blue leather.
We've been enjoying it for nearly 4 years now...

(I bought a white 320i manual with a blue roof new in 1987, sold it in 1989)

The only improvements would be cruise control and a decent armrest.

Alpina b6s would be nice.

Or

M3 shell nagaro silver. Non sunroof.

BBS RC090 17 inch

S85 v10 or supercharged s54
The quietest exhaust I can find so a) I don't look like a nobhead and b) I can here myself on the motorway.

Heated recaro srd with dark grey alacantara bolsters and black buffalo leather centres.
Sports evo tech 2 wheel
A/c with climate control
Electric rear blind
Alpina heater vent VDO
Fuel can in spare tyre well.

Some kind of modest stereo system

Probably missed loads but that's a start.

Cruise control as well just for the sake of it.

An alarm that releases African killer Bees into the car if someone tries to nick it.
