Most regretful thing-buying an E60 without prior researching. I paid about $15,000 more than what I should have.
:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
With that amount of money, I could mod my car to a show car!! GODDAMNIT!!

Don't feel so bad, in 2005 I brought a cashier's check for $58,XXX to the Beverly Hill BMW dealer for a 2006 530i; I think my car is fully packaged. Anyways, I did not know anything about BMWs and just bought it because I liked the shape of the car.
The moral of the story is: If I had known about this website, I would have bought a CPO (with extensive warranty) with some pretty awesome mods in it. I did not understand about CPO nor the benefits that I could utilize. To top it of, it was the second brand new car I bought. Lesson learnt: Better to buy CPO (with warranty) because luxury cars are the worst investment! LOL
Oh, also, I lost over $120,000 (I swear to god) in the f@#ked up stock market in less than 3 months. At least you get to have and enjoy what you saved your money for.
Feel better now? LOL

Well, in the end, with a few mods now, I'm very happy with my car although it doesn't have some luxury features like navg or convenient package or comfy seats or sport seat or HUD or ANYTHING!!
The only moment I wanna die was when I heard my friend's brother bought a 2011 F10 528i with navg and some other features about 10k miles for $44,000 OOD a week ago!!

But well, just put it this way-I always learned these kinda lessons in HARD WAYS...
and again just a month ago, I bought a set of HRE wheels from a forum member here and the conditions he stated are drastically different from what they really are. Now waiting for paypal to come out with a solution.
I always rush things up, eff 'em up, and regret later!!

I agree with you guys above. I joined this forum a year after I bought my car, there is SO much I missed out on, if only I had known. This site taught me so much about my car and if I had known before I bought I might have gotten more for my money.
Although, I did get a good deal, I bought my 05 in 07 as a CPO and got it just about as loaded as a 530 gets (minus full sports pkg and 6spd tranny) for $29k out the door with 16k miles on it, not bad over all but I probably could have done better.

I actually kind of guessed this after i blew it up, as I noticed the entire setup has to be switched backwards to the clip (this is the same in my old supra, i dont know why ballasts have the wires backwards).
Will the umnitza canbus pro ones be the same setup? Id rather not blow one of them up as well by putting it in backwards!
And I got 10000k headlights in atm, they are terrible lol. I am switching to 6000k. The foglights I was going to run 8000k though, since they are illegal to use in australia for the most part anyway.
