My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
Congrats on the new car man! I too upgraded from an E46 to an E60. A world of difference for sure. My wife has an E90 and I have to say its hard to beat the 3 series for those back country twisties and throwing the car around. The 5 is for cruising highways and comfort. But then that get shot out of the water when you end up getting pulled over for doing 117 in a 65 zone - be careful with your speed cruising in your new car, it sneaks up on ya, and quicker and quieter than the E46 believe me.
Regarding MODS, its a disease. As other have told me, admit that you have it upfront and start seeking other things to get into or else you're going to end up with thousands of dollars into the car above and beyond what you ever thought. But damn, you'll have bitchin car in the end, so eff it, go for it!

Hehe. Thank you thank you. I have only heated seats options (heated wheel would have been nice too...). Initially I thought I will keep my e46, but only after 2 days decided that I will not... So it is for sale. It will be sad to let it go, but I have a new toy

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
(WAAAAAYYYYY better than my previous MB E350, but quite a bit more expensive :( )
if you go with an RPI exhaust, consider the ESS flash versus the GIAC flash, as the ESS/RPI flash is made to compliment the RPI exhaust. Also, the ESS get's almost the same numbers as GIACat a lower boost level, so it's a bit nicer to the turbo's...GL with your mod choices and welcome to the 535i club
