My Ride: 2014 535d x Drive
Default New guy 535d x drive and a few other goodies

"Pulled the trigger" yesterday on a '14 535d x drive. I'm a car whore- have gone thru 2 GT-R's, full bolt on/tune e60 m5, evo x mr sst, 335xi in the past 2 years and have a highly modded Supra Turbo now, a Prius I love, a '65 Mustang w/built 302, a RRS, and now the newest edition, the 535d x drive for the wife. I LOVE the power delivery and the style, not sure where I will go with modifications on this one, but I will post once I move forward. Here are a few pics of the new car and a few of the others.

I two stage polished, carnauba waxed, and then Klasse sealed the bimmers paint yesterday night. "Tiny" in the back there is not me, it's a really cool salesman.








The e60 m5 is below, all boltons and a shtload of other stuff. I hated that car, overrated money pit that was relatively slow (my slightly modded mitsubishi evolution was faster straightline). But it sounded like hells demons:

And this is what happens when a MORON in a Porsche 911TT thinks he can ignore track rules and try to outbrake/pass a GT-R at a 60ish mph inside (moron) hairpin turn:

I had track insurance for the GT-R. I had the car replaced w/a white one and then purchased the black one back from the insurance company for 40kish (Which drove fine save for damaged wheels) to use as a track car. Now waiting on body panel prices to drop.
