I just sold my beloved 03 e39 mtech and picked up a new silver gray e60. The only thing i've done so far is slap on some 32% tints all around, and l.e.d. plate frames. What do you guys think should be the next step?

Welcome to another Bay Area member.

What do you want to focus on first as far as mods? Power, handling, looks...?

If you need a shop to do the work, check out SonicMS in Mountain View on El Camino between Castro and Shoreline. They've done all the work on my old 545 and current M5.

Ahh cool, you're from the Bay, too. Welcome aboard.

There's a bunch of fellow members with nicely fitted mods on their 5's. You're a step above me, my car is still bone stock. Anyhow, you'll find a lot of mehanical/technical/ mod info here. Good luck!
