Thanks for the replys, I'm leaving it black and will be putting some M5 mirrors as soon as wife permits, if you know what I mean.
Definitely stands out and looks unique! Keep it until you get bored!

Btw, I think I have seen ya cruising on the 73 South at about 4:45PM before.

61Mac11, I'd keep the trunk spoiler black. First time I saw it was like, hmm that's kinda odd but it grew on me. I like it black. Also, very nice combo on the front bumper + lip.

vegastrashed, don't forget about the name badges for next time meet. I already forgot the names now. very bad on names..
Yeah, and I also came late so I don't think I met everyone.

Joe, how about taking one of the group shots and putting screen as well as real names on them.

Hi All! It was definitely good times! It was great seeing everyone again and their E60s as well as meeting some new people. Also, special thanks to the organizers and WheelPower! Looking forward to the next socal meet real soon.

Any thoughts on the RDSport Quads?
Happy Motoring!

I liked your RDSport quads... the tips look awesome. I don't think I got a chance to listen to it though. If I wasn't so stuck on Dinan, I think I would go for the RDSport or Hamann quads.

Another good turn out for SOCAL and a fun drive down the beach. It was good to see the locals again and all the new guys who showed up. Here's a few pictures.

ECF, Thanks! Oh for reals? Bummer you didn't get a chance to hear it. Let me know if you are ever down here again. Hopefully, there will be another socal meet soon.
Yeah wished we had more time, I like to take a spin in your Dinan 5. I am considering remaping my software with Dinan. I am still waiting for a reply for the CAI and throttle body.

That is awesome! Total nightmare trying to organize the drive. Next drive, we will definitely have a better plan in place. Maps, walkie talkies, etc...

The next Socal Meet and Greet might just be at Bimmerfest 2007 in Santa Barbara in May. As a holdover, I plan on having a few Socal Launch Meets.

Yeah, I don't think the lack of radios was the problem, it as the lack of pre-planning a route.
