Thank you for your service. There are few, if any, who deserve the pleasure of a BMW more. My son deploys to Iraq later this week and all he wants on his return is a BMW (probably an M3 but I am campaigning for a 5 of some type for the overall room, ride and performance). It will be a long year.

My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
Thanks for the kind words.
I will upload pictures soon - never did that on here, so we'll see how that goes.
To all veterans - thank YOU for your service.
To those with loved ones either already deployed or on their way to deploy - may time pass quickly and safely for you and them. I will tell you that it was one of the fastest years of my life, and looking back, my wife and children would probably agree.
Thanks again everyone!
