My Ride: 2008 BMW 535i
Just got my car back from the body shop very recently.
Car went in stock, came out with the following:
- Prior Design kit
- KW V2 coilovers
- Leon Hardiritt Orden wheels
- custom painted grill
I just bought a 3D Design trunk spoiler so I'm waiting for that to get shipped over from Japan.
Its almost time to replace my brake components so I'm looking for some aftermarket options.

At first I as kicking around the idea of getting an m5, but before I left to go to Israel, all the ones I have either drove or checked out have been dogged out or had small issues so, that idea is gone. That's a good thing for me. My wife has had me kicking around the idea of us getting another porsche so I have found a few 2007 and a 2008 porsche 911 turbo with 11k and 16k on it. So when I return, I might have a go at it. Until then, I like mine and if I decide to keep it, hopefully the member who is getting ready to do the ess supercharger mod to his has good results that will make some of us go that route.

My mods are pretty much done. I do want to replace my roof and trunk spoilers, and possibly refinish my wheels. The modding is tapering down while I decide how much longer I actually want to keep my car. I know it will be gone to someone else before it hits 100k (it's at 79k) 
hopefully 
man, im just happy you're keeping your car to be honest!
upcoming mods for the spring/summer (most this wknd):
upcoming mods for the spring/summer (most this wknd):
- CF front lip & side panel extensions....just dropped the mocks off at the machine shop this morning
- thinking about a set of 20" wheels powdercoated gloss black if i can get the right price on this used set that needs work
- Orion V2 + Ehssan blackout method (doing this on friday)
- Creating my own yellow AEs from the stock bulbs...on paper it should work but we will see (i want to backlight the orions with yellow)
- strongly considering removing all my trim and covering it in real CF then completing the look with a clear resin (still researching this one)
- Dinan 16% underdrive pully - seems like my next performance mod this summer
- LCI tails....i refuse to pay a lot so the hunt continues
- lowering spring install (maybe tonight if i can find a breaker bar for this strut tower bolt thats being a sonofabitch to loosen)
Can't wait to see the pics when it's done
Are actually planning to fabricate carbon fibre parts in your garage??? I would recommend that you don't, because the particles that are released in the process require special ventilation and are very harmful to your health. Not to mention, you need to wear a respirator.
hmmmm... where do i begin
1.e60 is almost done, just waiting on my sc it will be ready by summertime( fingers crossed)
2.e90 is getting a complete makeover before bimmerfest
3.on the hunt for an old school bmw i prefer wagon for my next project
if no wagon,then seriously looking for an e30 or e36 (you guys got no idea what i have planned out for this car if i find a descent one soon, so let the search begins!!
so far that's it lol!! thanks guys

I don't like the Prior design front and rear, but worst yet is the fact that the sideskirts are so much higher of the ground than the front and the rear.
Sorry, braddah - not hating, just speaking my mind. Of course it's your ride and you should do what you want and not listen to me or anyone else At first I as kicking around the idea of getting an m5, but before I left to go to Israel, all the ones I have either drove or checked out have been dogged out or had small issues so, that idea is gone.
