Ok I have been bitten by the BMW bug. I just bought my first, An 04 525i. I have to start slow. Seems like some good information on this forum.
I had to give up my 10 second 02 Z28 for this car because my wife wouldn't drive it anymore. I cried
but I'm gonna channel my grief into the Bimmer. The first thing I had to do was dump the 16 inch rims for some 19s and tint it all the way around with 5%. Pics coming soon. I also bought some AngelIBright halo bulbs and matching fogs but due to me being in Afghanistan working, I havent benn able to install them yet. I won't let the wife do anything with the car except drive it.
Anyway thanks for the good info.

Welcome!
Either you're a cop or you decided to take that picture after getting pulled over for speeding!

I'm not the cop. My wife is the one that drives that car. I'm in Afghanistan.
