I guess you can already tell what type of vehicle I purchased lol

I bought my 2009 535x iDrive, Alpine White, black dakota leather interior in April. I absolutely loveeeeeeeeeee it. Im thinking about spending 5k for the M-Kit and do couple of other MODS that I have been reading through out this forum. That can wait a few more months lol.

Great car! to the forum. If you don't want to drop 5k for the m-tech, you can get the ?mnitza replica m-tech. It is way cheaper but the quality is very much the same

You should come to one (or both ) of our upcoming meets in the greater New York City area. That will give you some modding ideas.

One of the meets is scheduled for July 11 -- a BBQ in Fort Lee. I have a feeling that there will be a good turnout and you will see lots of cool mods (not on my car, which is bone stock, but I'm the exception among members here as most have lots of mods). Here is the link to the thead for that meet: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=79279

The other meet, more of a drivers' meet, is scheduled for July 25 and goes through the Pocons, Sussex County, NJ and Orange County, NY ending in Harriman State Park. That meet will let you test the limits and performance capabilities of your new ride. The link to that meet is in my sig.
