Hello my fellow bimmer-inians!! two weeks browsing this awesome site and only now i realized this "new member introduction" section. forgive me, i got newbie immunity for now right!

any vegas-sites in here?! im sure they're around, must be all too busy trying their luck at gambling to afford that next mod!!

My name is AC and this past july i bought my first bimmer, an '05 545i, jet black, sports and premium pkg., steptronic, nav, L7, bluetooth, blah, blah, blah.

I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS CAR!!! gotta admit though, this car requires more maintenance than my wife, kids, the house, the yard and my 16 yr old toyota truck, COMBINED!! and i only had this car for 7 months. but the drive and performance of this spectacular machine makes up for it 10 folds! let alone the head turning and compliments that come with a bimmer, stock or not.

I want mods and upgrades! what are your suggestions? only mod i've done so far is an afe intake. only about a month of usage (installed and back out again several times) because i've been in and out of dealer, i didn't want them saying it could void warranty, or what have you. i really want a dinan pkg, so if you're interested in an afe intake (for v8) make me an offer.

looking forward to learning alot of sh*t here- excuse me, i mean tips. Drive safe everyone!!

HAHA! Nice Gene.. I'm thinking maybe he is AC Schnitzer, so we can get some discounted mods.. and you're thinking AC Slater because you're a HUGE Mario Lopez fan...
