My Ride: Hamann roof/trunk spoiler Savini Forged 3-piece SV4 22' wheels M6 Sideskirts/Mirrors/Headlights 12000k Xenon
Post

Hey Guys

Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Scott and I live in Calgary Canada. I just picked up a 2004 645ci, black saphire w/chateau leather and SMG. I was lurking on the boards for awhile sponging in as much info as I could before I signed up. I was a large contributor to the Fresh Alloy boards on the Infiniti FX45. I hope to be a large contributor on these boards and it is refreshing to have some very knowlegeable people on hand if I have a question. Let me explain my purchases and my plans for the car. I have currently purchased the:

-M5 mirrors
-Hamann Front competition bumper/Roof spoiler/Trunk Spoiler
-M6 Euro headlights
-AC Schnitzer pedals
-Umnitza OE Polar Angel eye upgrade

and

22" Savini Forge 3 Piece SV4 Wheels, Black with Chrome lips http://www.saviniforged.com/sv4.htm

In the future I hope to add the VF engineering supercharger when it is available

That's all guys-just wanted to introduce myself. The car is going into BMW on Thursday to get the I-drive updated software so that I can use my Blackberry through bluetooth and minor fixes.

Thanks

Congrats on your car and welcome. You're going to love the SMG once you've had some significant time to really get the hang of it...

I purchased the ACS pedals, roof spoiler and trunk spoiler from Bav Auto. The M5 mirrors are supposed to be exactly the same as the M6 and I picked them up for $900 on Ebay Germany prepainted as well as the Hamann competition bumper (stole this for $600)from Ebay.de. I cannot wait to get all the parts and start installing.

BMW here in Calgary is already making excuses saying that they have had trouble upgrading the Idrive software for bluetooth-UNREAL...
