My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
to the forums and enjoy your beautiful ride. Your car looks plenty modded to me. I think all it needs is a little chrome around the windows.

Trust me the Sprint Booster is very popular on this forum, can't go wrong. It won't cure the turbo lag completely but it will help A LOT!
IMHO the Sprint Booster is a must have on the diesels, especially the automatics
otherwise a remap with a better low end power/torque curve may help you enhance the performance below 1800rpm in the 2L diesel.
is it an auto or manual?

What? No snow? Thought you were drowning over there - or maybe it's just those in the North who got it?
Seriously - to the forum - great lookin car! Be careful reading this forum, though - it may cost you a fortune in upgrades
