LOL. 
FOund out that Capital One, the idiots there, gave me the wrong wire instructions and HSBC wiring department cancelled the wire totally.
I walked into HSBC today and they were trying to figure out what's going on. I mean, those guys there aren't that bright either but Capital One is WORSE! Lady on the phone called me Miss. I asked her did you call me miss? She said Sorry miss...AGAIN! Finally got everything through. Hope Capital One will receive it by the end of this business day which they should then BoA allows me to access my loan and sends me a check and I overnight the paperwork with money to Porsche of North Houston and then pay for shipping then wait for the car.

My Ride: A Car
SMG's gear ratios are A LOT better matched. From reviews, SMG > 6MT. No one is telling you to abuse it and get the built date 2005 models. It's SMG3! It's for stick drivers who understand! I almost bought a 6MT until I woke up. To tell u the truth, I used to have an evo who can do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Of course I redline in 2nd gear to get that time. It's a quick 0-60 car! First to second was always really tough. Launch perfect, feather the clutch perfectly, and second gear lasted 1 second at the most. It was really tough to shift perfect.

Yeah right! I got no money for that. This time, I am going to mod it wallet-friendly. Well, that's what I said every freakin time! LOL.
I will get this on the spot:
- LED interiors, HID angels, MTEC License plate Lamps, 6000K D1S, HID reverse with on-the-fly switch
- Front Lip and Rear Diffuser And Rear Spoiler
- POwdercoat Wheels Matte Black
- RPi Full Exhaust, RPi Scoops, BMW Air Filter, MAYBE the pulley (not sure yet....already spending a fortune!!!)
- Maybe Eibach or H&R...I'll prolly put them in a few months before buying new wheels so most likely by this year.
ECU Remap next year. Step by step or my fiancee will kill me. She said I cannot mod the M5 after I buy it

I doubt your fiancee believed it herself when she said it
My wife said the same to me when I traded the 530d in to get the 550i... its had Tints, OEM M5 Mirrors, OEM M5 Trunk Finisher, OEM M5 Trunk Spoiler and I just bought a set of 20" Alpina Classics
Now I thought I was doing well, but your interpretation of "Wallet friendly / not modding it" takes things to a whole new level
Enjoy!!!!

the fastest i could get the Z was about 60 before the backend would start sliding on me. How do I find out if the car has SMGIII? I am looking at one with a build date of 9/05 and one with a build date of 7/06 the 9/05 one is a better deal but I will hold for the SMGIII if needed.
Thanks
