Man I dont think I can make it 8 weeks......!

Dealer in Ft. Lauderdale ordered my car today. I am already starting to feel ants in my pants..

Carbon Black with black Dakota Leather and those phat multi function seats..mmmm

Ordered the black anthracite headliner and also got the Bamboo Anthracite Wood trim.

Its gonna be dark and sexy inside....

I plan to mod this car and im just beginning to learn about that. Ill probably do at least the following.

1. Keep wheels for now. They are beautiful as is but I do like the 166's
2. Pulleys
3. ECU tune
4. 12mm Spacers
5. Headers...later on
6. M5 mirrors...they just look great

Was gonna get HUD but I like looking at the BMW gauges....

Needless to say..im excited to hit the highways, US1 tot he keys, and Old Cutler road with this bad boy in sport mode with the paddles.

Congrats. I think you made the right choice!

Old Cutler Rd/Ingraham Hwy should be fun but it's really too bad there aren't more mountain twisties in South Florida...

Who makes aftermarket pulleys for the 550?
