Thanks for the compliments and advice guys. This car is TERRIBLE in the snow as is. I thought about picking up some snow tires, but I still have my 95 Acura Legend coupe that still remains my pride n joy as my daily driver, and is 10x better with almost bald front tires in the snow haha. Not sure what my first upgrade is, but I'm leaning towards tints this week maybe.

I agree - beyond terrible in the snow! I let mine stay warm in the garage and drive the Jeep...

I want to do a few tasteful upgrades like M tech body kit, LCI tails and headlights, upgraded angel eyes, and Ipod integration kit, but not looking to get too crazy as modding this car is almost 3x my previous cars. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks guys

Congrats, great looking interior.

+1 on the snow tires. I feel almost as confident in a 550i w/snow tires as I did w/my Pathfinder. I can't stand coming out of the car wash and getting hit with sludge from a pot hole less than a mile away. More power to you SoCal folks.
