Hi all,

I recently ordered a new 2008 535xi in sapphire
Sport Pkg+18" with Runflats
ipod integration
navigation
black dakota leather+bamboo wood
cold weather pkg + fold down seats

As of now, the car is "transport en route to your preparation center" It should be here mid July!

I can't wait for it!

I've been active on quite a few forums, mbworld, e46fanatics, etc.

heres a few shots of my current car, which I am keeping! but the e60 is replacing my W163 ML500

and right. I'm with EW. and I'm going to show up for the FunkFlex show next saturday in edison, NJ. so...whoever is coming! It would be nice to meet you!

Hammann Roof Spoiler
Arquay or ACS trunk spoiler,
ACS front add on.

Painted black grille


as for wheels, I am not sure what I should get. But I am definite on getting a set of M6 reps in black as my winter setup. (since the optional 18" wheels comes with summer run-flats!)

Congrats and welcome to the xi family. Just make sure you get the right offset wheels for the xi. In case you're not aware, you can't run the standard wheels that you find on most of the RWD E60's. Our offsets are much higher, thus giving us limited choices. A good place to start is looking into wheels that fit a 3 series. The 3 series has a high offset, even on the RWD models, so most of those will work. You're going to want something with an offset of ET35 or higher.
