Okay,

Here is a list of "mods" or parts that I have done or purchased since I bought the car 1 MONTH AGO!

OEM all weather mats and trunk tray

Lighting: LED side turn signals, BIMMIAN silver turn signal bulbs F/R, LED license plate lights, HOEN fog lights, complete ultra bright LED interior lighting including under door lights, super white LED angel eye upgrade.

Outside: rear bumper reflectors, ACS replica roof spoiler, M5 trunk lip spoiler

Magnaflow exhaust

Sprint Booster on it's way!

Tint appointment this week.

Wheels? 166,167,128 Hmmm...which ones? OKAY STOP ME!

I'm sure I missed something...

Do we have an addiction hot line? My wife thought my days of aftermarket parts went away with my ACURA TL-S. She said oh good a BMW, I don't see any of those modified on the road...little did she know.

Hey at least I'm laying off under the hood with my BMW. It's been easier to hide stuff without me constantly being under the car or taking things apart under the hood in the garage...lol

If I never post again then my wife has killed me!

the worst thing about this is if you become a regular on the forums

symptoms are:

1. excessive spending on mods and then breaking the wallet (BMW)
2. checking forums at least 4 times a day and post-whoring
3. waiting for upcoming meets

anyways, enjoy the forums!

Dude... I'm right behind you except my wallet has already broken and waiting for the astronomical bill. I have only been on the forums for a week and I am suffering from the typical symptoms. Shoulda woulda coulda on the blue pill... I'm just waiting on some of my external mods, haven't even thought about dealing with performance enhancements. The previous owner, soccer mom from hell, has neglected and abused the car so I have lots of fixing to do. It's going to be a fun financially binding adventure.

Gentlemen ! We are all in denial, there is no turning back. Simply advise you family, employer and banker that you have "E 60 FEVER", there is no known cure . Sure ,we were all just going to put a spoiler on and call it quits at that. And then there's the " Oh I'll just check the Forums and read a couple and reply to one or two , then 2 hours later your family is asleep and your dinner has an interesting glossy film on it .................there is no , let me repeat no current cure for this affliction.............until the F10 is launched
