My Ride: 07 550i :: 19" m5 wheels. :: 6mt :: loaded mtec v2s in the mail.

What's up guys? I purchased my 2007 550i in the late summer of 2009. However, I've been very busy with school so I'm only recently able to keep up with you guys on the forums. I've been doing a lot of reading on what to do next with the car. From what I've read, most mods will cost a ton of money with not a great increase in performance. i'm looking forward to being active on the boards.

btw: it's a manual, 19" 166 M5 wheels, fully loaded with sports suspension / options. cheers!

Congrats on your new ride... ..pictures are always nice!!!

As for your comment on performance, well you already have a pretty fast car. Its like drag racing, its easy to get your car to cut a second off here and there initially at moderate costs, but once you start getting down tenth and hundredths of seconds it gets more expensive.

thanks to each person who has posted so far. rizbel, curious as to where you purchased your LED pre-lci tails.
i just ordered the MTEC v2 angel eyes and i'm a little obsessed with perfecting the lighting.
