I would steer clear of buying a modified car where you can't speak directly to the original owner who did the mods.

There's a difference between buying a modified car, and buying an enthusiast owned modified car.

I have a 2014 M235i, 21k miles, 8sp auto. I absolutely LOVE the car and it's been PERFECT for me. It has tons of mods on it, occassionally it does get driven hard, but usually I'm just cruising in it on the weekends to run errands.

Eventually it will be time for me to sell it. I would much prefer to sell it WITH the mods, as I know it's an incredibly well sorted car. Suspension mods, 19" Wheels/Tires, Audio Upgrades, Engine bolt-ons. There will be no surprises.

It sucks to mod a car sometimes unless you can do everything yourself. Take it to a shop to have lowering springs put on, drive it around a week, find a decent alignment shop, buy wheels/tires and hope the installer doesn't scratch your new wheels all up, etc.
