And oh yeah, it finally dawned on me - this is my first father's day (new baby girl named Madeline born 4 1/2 wks semi-premie on 5/30 after I freaked out my wife by breaking my ankle without having my disability ins signed yetand sending her into premie labor ). All so I could have my first father's day - even though breaking it hurt like the dickens, I'd do it all over again just to have her with us

The following is a pic my wife took of us together after a LONG NIGHT
Happy Father's day and welcome to the forum!

Allright already, I've got some unexpected time on my hands and want to get on this right away. Which vendors can sell me the dual exhaust system (faux or not), cross drilled rotors and numerous other M5 part kits?

I'm ready - the sooner I get it all done, the sooner you'll see the completed pics.

PM r1racer,nerweezy and alpinewhite. They will get you everything you need.

Congratulations on your little one and your new 550!

Your user name reminds me of the old Taco Bell commercial featuring Godzilla and the Chihuahua!!

"Here Lizard, Lizard, Lizard!!"

Tough luck w/ the broken ankle, I'm actually dealing w/ that myself (3 separate breaks, 1 plate, total of 10 screws). What's funny is, I'm hopefully about to pull the trigger on a car I've never even driven (6spd 04 545) and won't be able to drive myself for the first month or so. Is your 550i manual?

Congrats again, you are living the dream my man!
