"Do you think I could have purchased a 530i instead???" well that all depends on what you paid for this one... either way its the same car minus 40-50 hp

Looking good 
And i think you will keep spending after you knowing this forum 
Very nice 350z that you got there as well Love it
What bulbs are you using at the moment, $200 seems alot for the bulbs
The philips crystal vision 4300k is by far the best i've ever tried, it doesnt affect the night driving visibility and they last ages and looks great too.
