I got my car CPO in August 2007... caught the mod-bug by October 2007 (same month I joined E60.net)... spent ~$8K by now on the items listed in my signature (admitted spending less to the wifey )... and still not even close to being finished... determined not to spend more until I clear up my credit card

It's not how much you spend it's how much you enjoy your car after doing certain mods!

Look at my sig...you figure it out. I think I'm almost done!

I've spent about $8500 on the car already from the stuff that's listed on my sig... and I'm still thinking whether I should spend anymore money on it!

I know... Between what you spent on your 545i and M5, I could go on a paid vacation for six months or more.

Between your 545 and E63, you're not that far off either man.
