My Ride: 07 BMW 550i. Bone stock, just purchased.
Just purchased an 07 550i after turning in an 06 530i lease. Putting wheels on it and tinting the windows. I am also researching doing mild exhaust and air intake. I also plan to add a sub to the trunk. Glad to be a part of the forum.

welcome to the forums! Another socal brotha nice! Try to make it out to a meet when you can
For the wheels try pming members Nerweezy and john@eurorev. Both are respected forum vendors/contributors. For the exhaust and inteke I would suggest Race precision. They have the maximum power gains in the market and is absolutely the best to our e60s.
Many exhaust and intakes will result in a loss of power, but RPI has the highest proven gains. 12-15 wheel hp for the exhaust and 6-9 whp for the RPI ram air scoops/ gmc drop in filter. Make sure you don't get the open air intakes, they are known to lose power due to heat soak.
