I purchased an interior LED light kit from here for $80. The kit replaces all of the interior lights, the lights that are in the bottom of the doors, trunk, and license plate. They are a night and day difference from the stock yellow bulbs, with a brilliant white light.

So far I have adjusted the LED DRL's to stay on while the turn signals are engaged. There are actually two setting, one that keeps them on full brightness all the time, and the other dims them when turning (but the parking lights stay on 24/7). I went with the dimming to start with.
I turned on the emergency braking lights, which basically flashes your taillights very rapidly during an emergency stop to warn drivers that you are braking hard.
This last one I'm not sure if it was already enabled in the MMI, so if you could check to see if it is available on your car, I'd appreciate it. I enabled the setting to have the windows roll up/down and the sunroof open/close by pressing the unlock/lock button on the remote.
I'm going to go through the list of other mods today and see what else to try. I want to shut off the passenger airbag off lamp on the dash.

There is nothing like a hot tinted car. I want to tint mine really badly, but I have had bad luck with the bimmer and my tints. The cops here are extremely strict; I've already been ticketed recently.

Thanks Uroplatus! I saw your post with the pics of your winter setup, very nice. Where did you end up purchasing them, and what was the cost?

The wheels are 18x8, ET35. The winter tires (Dunlop 3D, size 245/40-18) came from TireRack.
I have not put the winter wheels on the car yet, but I plan to test mount a couple of them shortly. If the offset isn't quite right, then I'll get spacers and longer lug bolts. I'm hoping they look okay without having to go with spacers. Here is another pic, so everyone knows what we're talking about.
