Hey whatssup everyone!

Been on the forum for almost 3 years but now finally a e60 owner!! I tried avoiding car payments for the longest time but i had to spoil myself and say screw it!!

I picked up a Mystic Blue 2007 550i with sports and premium package. I bought it exactly how you see it below with ACS everything and the rims.

I've had the car for almost 2 weeks now and have been loving every second of it! I've went through 3 full tanks with no regret!

My current plans for the car...
- Powder coat rim faces Matt Black or Matte Gunmetal - WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK, MATTE BLACK OR MATTE GUNMETAL?
- change out the front bumper to the Mtech - DO YOU THINK IT WOULD LOOK WEIRD WITH THE REST OF THE CAR BEING AC SCHNITZER?
- front HID and led lighting from John
- Color matched outer Kidney grills with matte black Grills
- RPI Scoops and replacement filter

Future plans....
- all other lighting from John
- MAYBE complete Mtech if i am not happy with just the front...or maybe just the sides..i love the rear!
- MAYBE some new Meshed Forge wheels if I'm not satisfied with the powder coating
- RPI exhaust
- lower on Vogtland or H&R Sport...DO YOU GUYS THINK I NEED IT?
- home built Dinan intakes
- probably way more to come

today was my first wash so i snapped some pics with my phone...will take better ones later

Thanks to all of the members for sharing knowledge and resources with these e60's!
