My Ride: 2009 535i - Stock...For Now
1989 Chevrolet Truck - Too Many Mods to List
What's up guys! I just joined the board here a few weeks ago, as I just bought my first BMW a few weeks ago. New to the BMW world, but have been turning wrenches on my rides since I was a kid and have been active on other truck/SUV boards. Ended up with a 2009 Black on Black 535i with the sport/premium package. I'm really happy with it so far and look forward to becoming more familiar with these cars.
Welcome! post up some pictures of your car.

1989 Chevrolet Truck - Too Many Mods to List
Here are a few pics that I took over the weekend. The only mod I've done so far is the window tint. Just got my AE kit, Solaris bulbs, LED sidemarkers and LED interior light kit. Plan on installing all of those hopefully tomorrow. Will most likely add 20" rims and Mtech bumpers in the spring.
This car has probably been the most fun of any of the cars I've owned from a pure driving standpoint. Really tight and just feels like a lot of thought went into it. Probably won't do many if any performance mods to it. Might add an RPI kit to it and I may consider a Juice Box at some point down the road. Like every other daily driver I've owned, I say I'm going to leave it along...but here we go again!

The matte black kidney grills are definitely on the buy list. Not sure if I'm going to switch them out soon or just wait until I buy rims and do it all at one time. Gonna end up going with the black on black on black theme, but I usually buy a slew of things at once and put it all on at the same time. We'll see what I decide to do.
