My Ride: Miata Starion Forester
Bucket list is:
Exterior:
M-tech front ( I want the fogs )
M-Tech sides/rear
Interior:
Updated shifter + sport button mod
CCC to CIC retrofit
Aftermarket gauges to monitor things such as oil, water and trans temps
Would be wonderful to have a heated paddle shifting sport wheel. Sucks no one has figured out how to make the paddle shifters work.
Suspension:
Lowered ( see if I can find H&R w/lowering links or get it lowered via air bags before KW v3's )
RD Sways
Cusco strut tower bar
M5 brake conversion - till then just upgraded pads and DBA rotors.
D-Force LTW5's ( I like the FastWRX MachV Awesome's and they're the same pretty much )
Engine:
Cobb AP/BMW JB4
Intake(s) and or drop in filter
Possibly:
upgrade the IC
upgrade trans cooler
upgrade oil cooler
AR Downpipes + custom exhaust that's designed to be somewhat quiet.

My Ride: E61 535xiT Deep Sea Blue
New shoes for my wagon, after studying this board for all winter I decided on Avant Garde Front 20x9.0 ET35 245/35/20
Rear 20x10.5 ET38 tires 285/30/20 Nitto 555R from getyourwheels.com service was great.
also I used this tool to measure and measure and measure some more to make sure they will fit before spending all that $$$. BMW E46 M3 S54 3.2L - 01201 - WheelRite Wheel/Tire Fitment Tool - ES#2770120
end result is they fit very well, no rubbing, and no spacers needed! And btw they are frigging gigantic, especially the rears. Tons of room with the air suspension.
My car is a 2010 535xiT by the way, bone stock, except for removing the badging.
now of course it needs a drop, I really want to have a smooth ride when its done. I am currently looking at all my options.
the little ///M stickers are on the way from Ebay.
*edit* i was a little quick on the no rubbing thing, hit a big bump on the freeway today and the rear rubbed. Going to have to get fenders rolled!

My Ride: BMW
I have an Alpine White 535xI wagon but I really think the RED wagon is the best color for me for the wagon. I can't seem to understand why the color isn't available here in the US.

On a side note I really like that dark red you will find on a Porsche Cayenne GTS, rich like imola red but slightly darker.

Hello Bimmer heads!
After playing around with my white E60, I moved on and boughtt this E39 wagon:
Had it for only a month and decided to get "something newer".
Search criterias were:
a) Bimmer
b) Wagon
As all of you know there's no much choice for BMW wagons in US. The only thing we got here is current 3 series wagon. I don't have anything agaisnt F31 and like fuel enonomy, but my family stuck on 5 seires
and that's the way we want to keep it 
Please welcome "new to me" 2008 535xi
Car is in great condition, but stock and boring
Changed white turn signals to smoked LEDs:
Never tried their product, not sure I like it: LUX H8 V5, not so bright, at least they are white:
LED plates bulbs:
I wish it was M package...
I have big plans for this one, it will take me sometime to get these done but I will do it:
1. Wheels
2. Coilovers
3. M package
4. Exhaust
5. Vinal wrap
