I have close to 10k into mine... in mods. Thats a turbo setup, stroker, wheels/tires, full repaint, many body mods, lights, gauges, MSnS... I have about 4k into my current stroker build and it should be VERY stout. On the flip side on my eta... I only have about 1500 in mods/maintenance. I would MUCH rather have a unique 350-400 whp turbo e30 than a boring brand new car anyone can go out and buy.:: PNW Crew ::

im at a little over 4k. but just think of the guys like Ryan Stewart, Vlad, Jordan, James, those guys have put a SHITLOAD of money in those cars. but still, have probably never had a car payment. And its not like these people(besides Vlad) are turning their cars around in a quick time.
As much as I'd like to get a new 335 or e46 M3, the thought of having a car payment scares me. My only car payment was for the first e30 i bought back in 1999, and that was to my mom(150 a month while a Freshman in High School..) For the amount that I(we) spend on these cars, its well worth it IMO and for the M3 guys its not like they'll ever loose their values. Hell, whens the last time you saw a super clean slightly modded 325iS go for less than 5k? These things are only going up in value.
Bottom line, its not what you spend, its what your enjoyment factor is when all said and done. I enjoy my car. and thats that!
