Just picked up a black 08 528i with 36K miles on it a few days ago and I'm loving it. Didn't expect the i6 to have that much power in it, but that thing picks up quick. First few mods that I'm planning for it is hid angel eyes, hid eyebrow, and hid fog lights, and soon I would like to get the M5 body kit and some nice black rims.

Welcome to the Forum!

Performance mods you might want to add in the future
:
1) ECU Tune/Flash (ie; BMS tune)
2) Sprint booster (does not add HP but removes pedal lag --makes it feel more agile); BMS tune also has this feature.
3) RPI scoops
4) CAI (does not add HP but adds a nice growl)
5) RPI exhaust

Enjoy your new toy!

I was thinking of doing that first but the dealer I picked it up from was nice enough to put a new set of tires, so going to wait til these go bold.
