Hello Everyone!!! New to the forum. I've been a member since December and loving it. Their are some nice E60 on this forum. Purchased my 2007 550i in February and love the car. Thanks to everyone's great ideas specially; Devil Dawg, Praise the Lowered, and DK Newyork love your cars. I've been doing a lot of research and their are great Ideas. I would love to get together and check out some of the forum members cars in the Bayarea. I'll post pictures of what I have done to the car already. Thanks to everyone and enjoy the car. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks! Love the white color! I haven't had time to put on the plate yet. I try to avoid the police as much as I can.
