interesting result and confirms kind of what I knew already. didn't expect that 89% of us have modified our cars in order to enhance performance though.

I think unless you've got a near concours car, especially a 323i, there's no devaluation in bolt on mods to your car. How many people really want a mint, standard 316? You can save up extra and buy a 323i but the values of those are such that the money would be better spent buying a lesser model and upgrading. No downside so far as I can see...

Quite a few mods, almost everywhere, apart from the engine (well a weber mod on standard M10 is a mod or not?)
But hope to do more in the future!
