Part of the reason why the aftermarket for BMWs is so expensive is due to them being higher priced luxury cars, a lot of owners are older and can afford the higher priced parts. Then you have a bunch of people that just want to impress others and tell them they bought some crazy expensive mod that they can't really afford.
You're not looking at the right numbers if you compare mods for the 370z to mods for FI BMWs, theyre actually very close in their price range.
Don't forget we have expensive parts too... akrapovic exhaust anyone? Doesn't mean you have to buy that particular one.

When it comes to cheap mods, domestics run sh1t. With 1k, you can add 60 to 80hp on a camaro or stang, while for the same 1k, if we make 24hp? We are happy. But the Z is a totally different animal. So parts will run more. The trick with japanese cars is to be patient and be ready. Parts are moderately expensive but we see some pretty good sales and offers. If we try our hardest to stay on top of the game and remain financially prepared. We can mod at pretty descent prices if we buy as soon as sales are announced.
