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