Well I picked up my 2008 528. It's my fourth BMW and my favorite so far.
I am in Germany (American) and got the car here through a military sales program. It's loaded (Premium, Sport and Cold weather packages - PDC, Ipod, Comfort access) and I only paid 44k with factory prices and tax free. Since I got such a deal, I decided to treat myself to some mods.
I was thinking of putting the M tech body kit on right away, then maybe some 19" wheels. I was thinking of either the BMW 128 style, or some Vossen 0178. Which do you think wouyld be better?
By the way, the dealership where I got this car has a 2008 M5 for $69,900.

CONGRATS!!!
First thing is to lower it, rims, kit. That's my opinion.
