Default God please help me. I'm spiraling out of control. I got the mod bug.

In the past two weeks. I've spend a stupid amount of money on modifications on a 2009 528xi CPO with the an extended maintenance plan. BMW paid my first 3 months payments .I love the car. It has my favorite colors. Alpine White with the light brown black combo interior. I could have upgraded to an M5 for that money. But on the other hand I love the 25 mpg. Presently in Afghanistan with 21 days R&R scheduled for the 29 on June. I"m thinking of inviting the local folks in the Chicago area for a barbecue as an excuse to help me install all this shit. How does the Saturday the 6th of July sound? Did I mentioned surf & turf!!

Here are the mods:

Don't cut yourself short on shipping any items from Umnitza. There notorious for procrastination.

We're all going to find out in July God willing if the tires rub. Pardon my ignorance, what does tco stand for?

It took them only 4 days to ship the bumper to Cali. I guess they only ship on Fridays. I got plenty of time to let them know to ship the rest of the stuff to Chitown.

Wow, that's a nice list of BMW mods! Congrats and I hope "the affect" will be more phenomental.

Boy, those Iran guys really carry some dangerous bio-chemical sh#ts...

I heard they got the Sergeant in your unit stock up an obscene amount of Viagras!

You should be glad it ( "M" bug) didn't get you to salute everyone you see.

Thank you for serving our Country and stay safe in your Journeys.

PS: If the tips of the Umnitza Exhaust stick out too much, consider shorten it. I think it would literally ruin the Aerodynamic of the E60 looks.

Here is a car I found for sale with the same interior I have. I truly dig this combo. It's different from anything I seen before in a car.

Your are hilarious. I un-hung my gloves and came out retirement due to Viagra!! You got me rolling. Hum, they do stick out a little. It looks like the installer cut the stock system to long. I'll make sure to have the system shorten a bit so they stay at bay. I do love that sound. I'm going to see what options I have for tips if need to. See now look what you did. You've awaken the bug. I thought I had it under control with medicines.

Nice nice list of mods in one go!

Can't wait to see the finished product. Since you have bought from Umnitza, perhaps you know about their famous Orion upgrade?

Check out my link in my signature to see the goodness!
