Hello from the DC area! New member here, and looking forward to getting bit by the "mod bug" again. Hopefully there are some E60 fanatics in the DC area. I've a long list of previous projects:

Integra GS mod bug cherry popper
Civic EG Hatch B18c
S2000 Turbo
E46 330ci
E46 M3 - Probably my fav
E92 335i
Present - E60 550i Fully optioned!

Planning to start a family soon , so had to go with a larger sedan. I'm planning to start on a few mods soon, so if anyone is familiar with modding E60's in the neighborhood...give a shout out!

Nice to meet everyone!

- Mr. Roboto

Thanks, yes I am digging the Carbon Black (not so much the cost of keping it looking clean).

So what color is your 550? Sport package? And, of course, we love pics.

Thanks SDG!

Do you have suspension work done? Your car looks like it's been lowered just right, not tooooo low. Or is that stock and eyes are decieving me?

I ride on a stock sport suspension. Living in Manhattan with its crappy roads, I would never ever lower my car. If I lived in So Cal, I'd slam it PTL style. I love my suspension just the way it is -- perfect blend of ride and handling. Stiff but not harsh.
