My Ride: 2007 BMW 550i, Sapphire Black, SMG
Mods: Umnitza m5tech kit, matte black grill, CF roundels, cheapo ebay AE's, RPI exhaust (turned into quads), Uforged 20" wheels.
Like the topic says, I'm not really new to the forum. I have been lurking on the forum for about 6 months now. I'm not much of a computer guy and have never even seen a forum before I stumbled on this site. I have learned a ton from everyone on here. The biggest thing I have learned so far is how to drain my savings account. I was 100 percent satisfied with my 07 550i until I found this site. Suddenly my car seemed pretty boring. I never imagined there would be so many mods for a BMW. I have done a few mods so far with many more to come.
I am serving in the US Air Force stationed at Pope AFB in Fayetteville, NC. I have met one member in my area so far. Just wondering if there are anymore members around the Fayetteville area. I guess I should say a little about my car too.
I bought a 07 550i about a year ago. It has the sport package, cold weather, comfort seats, nav, adaptive headlights, and my favorite option...smg. I wasn't too sure about the smg for the first month or so. To be honest I really hated it. I absolutely love it now. It took a little while to get used to.
I hope to start contributing now instead of just enjoying everyone elses posts.
Oh yeah...my name is James

My Ride: A Car
Welcome James! Well at least it drained your savings account for MANY items wheras it could've drained your savings account by purchasing with knowledge elsewhere for only one item. I think it drained everyone.
