Welcome aboard! If you want the red reflectors, I bought mine here:

Thanks DrLev, those are ordered. Now I know that I'll be spending more money than necessary, even if it is only 25 dollars, which is a good deal IMO!

What do you all use for leather cleaner that keeps the leather matte black yet keeps that BMW leathery smell? I've seem some of those cheap auto-zone leather cleaners/protectors that leave the leather shiny and annoying.

I also like those stickers to make it more like the Euro-Spec E60's. I'm always envious of the M-Sport package that they have in the UK. Once I get over this purchase, I might consider having some fun

The only mods I have for the future is some type of streamlined GPS mount, the rear red reflectors, and possibly a rear sunshade.

That is going to change pretty soon if you will hang out around here. :-))))
Congrats, it looks super.
