My Ride: 2008 535i
Just bought another member's 535i
Hey guys,
You may have seen my post in the classifieds looking to purchase an LCI e60 6 speed near Portland, OR.
Well after about 7 months of searching and never finding the exact right car, I decided to pulled the trigger on @HKninja's 2008 535i.
I flew all the way out and met him in DC, had the car inspected at a local BMW tuning shop, drove it to my brother's in Virginia, and then finally loaded it on to an auto shipping truck to be delivered to me all the way across the country.
The wait is killing me!
After taking care of some minor maintenance pieces, the first thing I plan on doing is the M5 or M5tech front bumper.
Is Umnitza still the best place to go about doing this? I've read mixed reviews about them both here and elsewhere on bimmer communities.
Additionally I'm trying to find a solution for bluetooth audio as the car only has the rear console aux input.
Anyways, I'm stoked to join the club. Cheers!

My Ride: BMW 700 and More!
Congratulations! She is a looker! Just try not to think about it and then it'll be in your possession sooner than you think. I know that is much easier said than done haha! I hope time goes by quickly for you.
