My Ride: 2008 BMW 535i - Alpine White/Natural Brown Dakota Leather/Dark Poplar Wood Trim/Anthracite Headliner, Premium Package, Sport Package, Sport Automatic Transmission, Comfort Access, Heated Front Seats, Park Distance Control, iPod and USB Adapter, Navigation System, Logic 7 Sound System
New member here just wanted to introduce myself. Name is Tony and I'm from Rogers, AR. Traded in my 2008 BMW 335i Coupe Jet Black/Black Dakota Leather/Aluminum Trim for my current 2008 BMW 535i Alpine White/Natural Brown Dakota Leather/Dark Poplar Trim/Anthracite Headliner. The 335i was definitely more nimble and sporty feeling, but I wanted to finally move into something that was bigger and had four doors. I just finally wanted to be able to drive friends around and have the room for a future family. I love the 535i for how quiet the cabin is and how plush the seats are, but I do definitely miss the nimbleness and more sport feeling of the 335i.
Anyhow, here are the full specs:
2008 BMW 535i - Alpine White/Natural Brown Dakota Leather/Dark Poplar Wood Trim/Anthracite Headliner, Premium Package, Sport Package, Sport Automatic Transmission, Comfort Access, Heated Front Seats, Park Distance Control, iPod and USB Adapter, Navigation System, Logic 7 Sound System
Modifications: BMW Performance Black Kidney Grilles, Gloss Black Painted Bumper Accent Bar, Shaved "535i" Emblem, LUX H8 V3 Angel Eyes
And here's some pictures:
Plans are Cobb Tuning AccessPORT, aFe Power Stage 2 Pro 5R Intake or BMS DCI, some forged wheels (haven't decided...maybe MORR VS8.2), and a full coilover setup.
Let me know what you guys think!

Nice ride.. looks a lot like mine. 
I too am a fan of the VS8.2's. I just don't know that I can spend $800-900 per wheel.. and then still have to buy tires and TPMS. :-|

those shots look amazing! I thought those were promotional shots that BMW had some professional take! and btw, those alloys really suit the white color. Enjoy the ride!

Great ride!!! That was the color combo and equipment I was looking for when I bought mine, but it was almost impossible to find it in my area with sport package, and all bells and whistles without spending a fortune... but I ain't gonna complain.... Jet Black is just as sweet, and it will get better after few mods. How do you like your LUX H8 V3 lights? that's my immediate goal to update the angel eyes, but i'm trying to find the best recommended ones without the need of modification (like Orion rings-eventully I will get those). Let me know your opinion.
