Just introducing myself as the forum states. I've always loved the 5 series and BMW's in general. Now I finally get to enjoy owning one. I drove my 2004 Space Gray Metallic 545i off the lot yesterday. I'm already doing some research looking around online for wheels/mods/etc. If anyone has had good experiences with places and can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I've already seen some posts of good buys from EuroRev from browsing the forums a bit. I'm going to be doing the simple things first, like getting darker tint and the like. Then I plan to get into the bigger things like wheels, the M-tech kit etc. Anyways I'm sure I'll be getting to know you all more shortly. In the mean time, here's a pic of my car.
