My Ride: 2008 550i sport
My car tends to idle rough during intial morning startups. It goes away after 45-60 seconds. It is a little annoying, but not worth my time to schedule a trip yet. Please share the outcome. I was thinking of doing the MAF cleaning, but again, it just isn't bothing me that much yet.

Oh, I just thought of smth... I know you've been looking for a body kit or a front lip. I was gonna do this a while back, but ended up going with the CF lip, but you can totally do this - get an ACS rep lip and paint the upright dividers of the side air vents black - if you're having a hard time imagining what I'm talking about, I can prolly put together a rough photoshop for you - just to give you an idea of what I mean... I think it'll look hot with your theme of B&W

here you go (and this is really crappy graphics, ok - don't look at the finished quality - just try to envision the idea):
