My Ride: 2008 535i Alpina White / Natural Brown Dakota, 550 19" Wheels, M5 Rear Spoiler, 40% Lumar Tint....M Tech Kit on the way!
Default

Hi Guys!

I've been a car lover all my life...

My current stable includes a 2000 Audi S4 Stage 3+ by AWE and a 1976 BMW 2002 (in process of restoration).

The wifey drives an Odyssey... :thumbsdown:

Last week I purchased an Alpina White 2008 535i.

It already has new 19" 550 Wheels wrapped with Toyo TR1's, 40% Lumar Window Tinting and a rear M5 spoiler. M Tech kit on the way...

I've been searching different forums and have read about the different kinds of upgrades to the ECU. Any suggestions? Anyone here with Vishnu?

TIA!

Hopefully this year I will post pics...The car is being COMPLETELY restored down to the bone...or is it chassis? LOL!

Anyway, it's been a 3 year project so as soon as I have it I will post pics...trust me!

Thanks everyone for the BMW (Bimmer Master Welcome)
