Hello from San Diego CA, good to meet you all in cyberspace and thanks for the all the info on this site which I've already found helpful.

Sold my E39 which I had for 7 years, to date is the best car I've owned. Just bought an '08 e60 and I'm deep into learning all about the car. Below is a pic of the my old e39 and the new ride. Thanks for having me as a member, cheers!

Here's one of the mods already, a matte black grill, I really like how it turned out - bought this from trinity.

Yeah, hope to see you around, we should probably do an SD meet one of these days.

I bought the car with the 123s already so not sure if it came like that or the PO installed them.

By the way, no association other than a happy customer, I found this guy on craigslist that does "coding" in san diego, he charged me $50 for 3 code changes, I chose removal of the seatbelt chime, add digital speedo and removal of the idrive prompt. He now has a website www.getyourscoded.com, in case anyone is looking for some coding in SD.
