My Ride: 2008 Jet Black MTech 550i
2005 Black Sapphire Sport Package 545i
My bad you guys! 
I began throwing questions out there and posting before even introducing myself! I'm a newbie in the forum and I admit it, I am a big computer dummy... so it may take me a little bit before I learn to get around in the forum. I'm currently in Central CA, but was born and raised in the City of Angels. Anyhow, I've got an 05 545 (w/ sport package) and an 08 550 (w/ sport package); they're both pretty much stock, but I love them dearly! I would like to get started upgrading the 550 though; I think my first step is going to be with a Dinan exhaust. Anyhow, I hope this breaks the ice and perhaps I'll get to meet some of you at the fest in SB.

Welcome from another Central Cali member. You just missed a great meet here on the Central Coast. We will have another before to long so see you then at least if not before.
Post up some info on your cars and when you can some photos. We love to look at cars here.

Thanks for the welcome notes my fellow "Bimmer brothas"... for lack of a better term. I just got back from Vegas ...Man, I need some time to recover!!!
I know, I wish I could have made it to the meet in SLO, I had toooooo much going on that weekend; but I'm hoping to make the SB B'fest though, hopefully my work schedule cooperates. ...let me see if I could figure out how to post a picture of my 550 at least... I dont have any of the 545, I'll take some after I wash her up though; after the trip to Vegas, the 545 is not in picture shape ... but let's try the download...
