My Ride: 2005 Alpine White 530i
Just picked up a 2005 alpine white 530i w/ sport/premium packages on my 27th birthday (April 17th) this week! I was in love with this car as soon as I test drove it. I'm excited to start modding her. Unsure if I want to go with the m-tech kit or the Rieger, but a kit and 20's are on the way by summer. I attached a few pics taken from my iphone (so I apologize for the quality). My previous car, an 05 Acura TL A-Spec was totalled in front of my home on Monday after a guy driving a landscaping pickup and trailer had a seizure, floored it, and hit my car doing roughly 50-60 mph then swerving through the park down the street (sending a fire hydrant over 25 feet) and plowing into two other cars; an older pickup and a really nice Dinan 5..... What a day that was! Anyways, if and of you are from the Portland/Vancouver area say hi!

Oh come on now......do you REALLY hate the modding bug??? 
Hmmm? If so you chose the WRONG place to hang around!! 
Kind of like in High School where we all claim we can't stand easy women! Yeah right!
