My Ride: 535xiT
Here are some before and after pix of my new (today) 535xiT (special ordered about 2 months ago). Optioned as follows. Space grey matalic with gray dakota leather, grey trim, bambooo anthracite wood trim,cold weather package, premium package, sport package, 18" wheels, park distance control, ipod/usb adapter, Logic 7 sound, and last but not least aerokit.
Pictures on the left (except for the last one) show the car pre-aero kit. Not the greatest pics but did it in a hurry with kinda crappy weather.
Next week it goes in for the addition of the Dinan ECU upgrade. Should make for a fairly quick car with 384 HP and 421 ft lb of torque. Traded my '04 545i 6 speed sport for this. Prior Bimmers include '00 528iT, '00 540, and '97 M3/4. The current garage houses an intercooled, supercharged '97 Porsche C4S with a bunch of suspension and other goodies. A FourTwo Smart car is on order (go figure).
The aerokit isn't cheap my any means but I think it really adds to the looks of the car. I noticed a lot of our European brothern have made this addition. Thought this would be of interest to people who are considering adding this to their order.

That car is really beautiful.
Nice work.
May I suggest the complete compliment of Dinan mods after the chip? Exhaust, throttle body, etc...
