Hello all. I just bought my first BMW. I've driven others before but this is my very own. I purchased a CPO 2007 Alpine White 550i MT and named her Paige (hence the SN). I absolutely love my car and am overwhelmed as to where to start with the mods. Any suggestions?
. A sprintBooster is a nice mod to start off.

Thanks Rizbel.
I forgot to mention that I'm going to start with a 20-35% tint and an ACS wing. I want to do the angel eyes and have been searching the forums.

I have a group buy going right now for the ACS roof and trunk spoilers in the Classified section, also, Rizbel is pretty accurate I think I should have started off with the Sprint Booster as well. There's always time they have a GB for that too here.

Hi pjinca! I'll definitely look into the sprintbooster. Will that help with gas mileage? If not, any tried and true mods that will?
uh-oh, bought a 550i and worried about gas mileage!
the tints will make a huge difference.
the sprint booster wont help gas mileage, it will make your throttle response better. check out Alpine White Girl's car. has done tints and the ACS wing amongst other mods...
