You are in Cyprus, Limassol?
I would just spend some serious time reading this website and finding out what works for you - keep one thing in mind, this site does not have membership fees - but you will feel like it is one of the most wallet draining URL's you can put into your browser once you get into this whole 'upgrade' thing. It's fun though, I just ordered more parts for mine today. The dealer I bought it off of said, "This is not the same car I sold you." I replied, "Yeah, e60.net - use with caution."

What happened to your right, rear wheel? And the front right one looks a bit chewed up too.

Probably just a problem with the camera and the resolution. Any additions to the 550 yet?
