My Ride: 2006 M5
I've been on the forum for over a year already and never introduced myself formally! So here I am now... a week before my first meet @ Bimmerstock 2010. I'm excited to say the least 
I've had my 05 545 for about 2 years now and when I first got it I was simply amazed by the power compared to my previous 330ic... but I think I definitely preferred the handling on my 330ci over the 545i...
My first trip was from the dealer in Maryland back home to Northern NJ. Needless to say, the ride back home was amazing!!! Nowadays, I take the Palisade to work everyday with those beautiful trees, wild turkeys, bugs hitting your frontend and deers that pop out of no where!
After having it for a few months, I got the mod bug by visiting this wonderful site that converts your car into an endless money pit (literally). Since then I've modded with an M5 front bumper, NVD M5 mirrors, M5 cluster mod, M5 side skirts, LED panel lighting, sprint booster, eyebrow mod, trunk finisher, M5 spoiler, Euro headlights, shadow trim, M5 fenders & matte black grills & those gorgeous Breyton Vision II's (Bob, Thank you for the hookup on the rears, Vlad, thank you for the hookup on the M5 hood & the M5 trunk
)
I'm sure the modding isn't over yet but I feel comfortable enough to actually share the transformation with you guys

"deers" 
typical Jersey hahaha
j/k
Car looks good! I've seen you on Palisades a couple of times (I'm the white E60 with a lone "5" on the trunk btw), and it looks even better in person. Now that the rims are on, I think you need to concentrate on that rear bumper though
And maybe some better pics of the car too
Good Luck!

I know I've seen you before as well as a few other members throughout North Jersey, Orange County and Rockland County... I'll try not to be shy with the NY meets anymore & your right, rear bumper is probably next on the list... I had the M5 rear bumper but didn't like it and sold it... MTech rear is what I have in mind... some day
Your a stand up guy btw. Thanks for everything.

And yeah, I agree with you on the rear bumper TOTALLY - m-tech is SO much sexier
