My Ride: 2007 Black Sapphire 535i
Hey Guys,
I'm new to the forums in terms of posting but I've been doing lots of reading and research over the course of the past few months. There is a realm of great information here!! I bought my first BMW in January of this year and I've been loving every minute of it so far. It's a 2007 Sapphire Black 525i with Nav and a few other great features. Anyway its good to be among peeps who share the same interest as I do. Great forums guys!

Thanks BMWRINO,
I'm buried neck deep in all the great info and probably spending too much money already in mods for my car. (Hopefully my wife does not get wind of these forums cause' she'll be a bitter woman if she discovers my giddy spending habits).

Well I've been part of the 5series forums for less than two months now and its seems as though I've got serious mod-fever. These forums are truly a valuable source of information with a great group of members who always seem willing to help. As I continue to post and participate, I hope I can start to give back a bit by providing information to any new members looking for advise on modifications I've already done and relevant experiences I've had.
I took a few pics last weekend with my new "M" body kit and am in the process of doing a ton more stuff to the car.

Mod'ing is really much like a sickness. Ha ha. Slow day here in Toronto and raining so I thought I'd update my post with some more of the mods that I completed this summer. One of the biggest and arguably the best return was upgrading my CCC pre-LCI iDrive to a CIC LCI iDrive with enhanced screen, Hard Drive, NAV, USB interface etc etc.

Another was installing my RPI scoop and filter. This one was quick and easy.
The pics also show the OEM black kidney grills I put in with the Mtech kit.
