My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport Carbon Metallic / Black
Traded in:
2005 BMW 545i Sport Black/Black
Just Picked up my '05 545i Sport 42k mi... a late 24th bday present to myself!
Planned mods:
20" Wheels (no clue on color or type... as long as they have a sick lip
)AE upgrade
HID Fogs (match adaptive xenons)
I HATE the amber in the eyebrow... one option is risky on the seal and the other seems to be a pain/ $$ for the LCI changeout... I have seen some decals option, but dont want to look cheap...
Thats it, then flip it for the V10

As great as my 545i is, I don't think I'd ditch an AC Cobra for it.

AC Cobra or a late model Mustang Cobra? Definitely a difference. I'm guessing the latter...
