, you've got sick mods coming up!

I really like your color combination on your 550i!!!!!!
During that month, I did not find one Alpine White with Black Dakota Interior equipped with paddle shifters.
Heck, I didn't even find one that was tripple black for that matter.

I can make the platinum gray work for the most part. After I put a few miles, I'm going to start fabricating the intake system, ic tubing, intercooler, downpipes and exhaust system.

Does anyone make a diffuser?

I believe on th 2008 model e60 they don't have carbon fiber avaliable as an interior trim. They only have it avaliable on the 04-o7 models. About the aluminum trim I think you can get this at your dealer, I never see them anywhere for the 08 models. Godd luck finding what you need and congrats on your new bimmer purchase, you made a good choice!

Thanks for the welcome!!!!

I'll phone the dealer tomorrow, if they don't have anything, I'll remove the trim and have a carbon fiber film applied.

I spent a few hours hunting down rims, however, I'm concerned with all the additional unsprung weight from the nicer looking wheels. I'd like to be around 25lbs. per rim, but will settle for 30lbs on 20" rims. I may settle for BBS.
I'm going with a set of coil-overs so I can set ride height with a little more rake.
