My Ride: A4, M3, 996
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Gents,
My name is Andy and I've stumbled across this place while doing research on the possible purchase of an E60. This community is the wealth of informaiton that I was looking for when researching the upcoming purchase. I'm hoping to soon acquire an '04-05 525i or 530i. Engine choice is mainly due to it's great reputation, reliability and fuel economy based on the amount of driving that I do. Plans for the E60 will be fairly simple, Slam it, 20's, light tint and drive the crap out of it.
I work in IT, but my wife and I have a small automotive detailing business as well. As you'll see I love European machinery and attend as many track events that I can fit into my schedule with the M3 and 996. Various BMW's in my past including a 2002, E30, E36M3, E46 325ci and I currently have an E46 M3 tucked away in the garage.
Current cars:
'99 Audi A4 - Brilliant Black / Black "The workhorse" 165,000 miles and counting on the 1.8T, origional motor / turbo / etc...been the best car I've ever owned from a get-in-and-drive perspective. Mods include: GIAC software, K&N filter, Kamei grille, Tint, Projectzwo lower bumper lip custom molded, A! sideskirts, 19' Sportec Mono 10 wheels, Bilsteins, H&R springs, stereo goodies, e-codes, Osram 5400K xenons, etc.

'02 M3 - Alpine w/ Imola interior - Mods: H&R coilovers, Ground Control camber plates. H&R front sway bar, strut brace, K&N intake, Eurobahn Superchips software, BHS pullies, Active Autowerk muffler, OEM LED tails, UUC shifter, Stainless brake lines, Euro rotors, black gills and grille's, OEM iPod interface, hardwired for V1.
