Hello everyone! I live here in the HOT desert of Las Vegas , NV. I just purchased a 2004 525i - Jet black. I have some nice plans for it...I already have a set of 20" Forgiato wheels for it(gloss black lip with matt black face). Im sure I'll be looking for advise on how to lower it. I'll post pics soon. Thanks!!

Great site!!

Jim
