What should I do to my 2009 BMW 120i (E87)?

I just got it as my first car, drives nice, got low profile tires, the steering is a bit heavy but it has its benefits. I’m just wondering what I should do to it. Again it’s my first car so I don’t want to tank the resale value or do anything crazy, but I’m thinking rear diffuser to help with the egg shape rear, and a rear bumper, I’m down for anything so any ideas would be awesome. Thank you! Also it’s leaking oil from some gasket somewhere but I’ll get to that… 😅

Since it’s your first car, I’d mostly focus on keeping the BMW 120i (E87) clean and reliable before doing mods fix that oil leak first because German cars can turn small issues into bigger ones if ignored. After that, light cosmetic stuff like a subtle rear diffuser, good wheels, tint and a proper detail will improve the look without hurting resale value. I’d avoid anything too aggressive or expensive since it’s a daily and just keep it simple, maintained, and slightly styled rather than heavily modified.

Will do, thank you! Yeah agreed, it is an old car so I don’t want it to turn in to a money pit of expensive mods until it just stops working for good 😭. Thank you again
