What?! No heated discussion here? Well, I just wasted my time preparing my WMD intended for Iceman.? I also prepared a joke for him too...
P.S. WMD Words of Mass Discussion

Do I really need to get in "the mood" again just to hear it ?

OK here is the joke, hey Ice, don't ge offended alright. I was gonna use it on the "foglight" thread, but I kept my cool until my very last post. But here it goes:
Remember the movie "TOPGUN"? There is a scene where Maverick (Tom Cruise), after being beaten by Iceman (Val Kilmer) in an air battle excercise, was in a bar drinking with disgust. The alcohol finally let all Maveryck's anger out with a loud shout "Man, that Iceman is such an a$$hole."
A man from a far corner got up and walked towards Maverick and said "I demand you to take back what you've just said. I am deeply offended by your comment."
Why? said Maverick, "You're not Iceman"
The guy responded, "No, but I am an a$$hole"
Hey Iceman, I meant no offense. Saurab made me tell it.

Let me just apologize to you first.

I was very unhappy about the dealer. The service advisor told me to bring the car in at 7:30 in the morning for the A/C compressor replacement. When I brought the car in, she said the parts for the compressor did not come in. When the parts finally came next week, I told the SA to activate DRL and install the BMW wheel locks. She wanted to charge $55 for DRL and $30 for wheel locks. I guess it's ok to waste other people's time, but they charge every minute for mechanic's time. At least the A/C compressor noise is gone now.

Personally, I would like the Angle Eyes to be a bright HID color and use them as DRL.

heezy545i, I would love to do that, and as far as emailed them. cut and paste of exchange below:
<<<<Unfortunately, we can't get any upgrades for that car.
WE CAN do HID fogs lights though
Those would only be $300 + shipping
?m?nitza inc.>>
Too whom it may concern,
I will be acquiring a '05 E60 545i in November and was wondering if any of
the Angel Eye upgrades would be available for this car. I was specifically
looking to try and get the HID/Phosphyre look over the standard yellowish
color of the stock ones. I would like them to match closely to the Xenons,
and provide a brighter than stock appearance.
The headlights will be the xenon, adaptive on the car.
Thank you for your time, and appreciate any information that I can get.
