Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,
I've been on this forum for a long time since I bought my very first BMW E60 530i (11/03 build). A few weeks back, I saw a used Alpine While/Auburn 550i with only 4K miles on the clock and it has quite number of options. I decided traded it and had no regret getting this car although mileage is suffered.
The reason I delayed posting pics is that I need to complete my two main mods: M5 SMG Paddle Shifters and M5 shift knob. I received airbag mounting plate yesterday afternoon, and went home creating the kit, installed and tested it. Both my two mods works perfectly! Pat myself in the back!
I plan to change my screen name to "my550i", but it's been take. Please give me some suggestion here.
Here are some pics of my car and mods:

Color combo looks great.
Did this 550i have a Steptronic, or was it already SMG and you added the M5 steering wheel and shift knob?
