My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i 6-Speed (Sport, Cold Weather, Smokers packages)
Just got a '08 550i 6-Speed and I love it! I've owned '98 Z28 and '01 Cobra and this is by far the best all around performance car ive driven! The only mods ive done are matte black grill and //M valve stem covers 
I like the body kit on the 550 so i don't think i will change that (dont want to look too much like an M5). I would like to upgrade the exhaust, throttle body, intake and software. I am open to new wheels too (lightweight)...
Any advice/photos would be awesome!
PREESH!
