Finally, It's Here

After 2+ months of waiting, finally took home the 4.4 on Saturday. it's an '05 sterling gray/sp pkg/prem pkg/cold weather pkg/rear climate pkg/19's. overall the car is amazing. but i'm already thinking bout performance mods. any suggestions? also, looking to swap out the oem speakers for some MB Quartz (they seem the least expensive). i would post some pics but i have no idea how to resize the pics.

The Aluminum Running Boards are always a good look.

Congrats and enjoy the new ride.

Looks great. Congratulations.

Sterling grey is a fine color choice, and those 132's rock. I, too, vote for the aluminum running boards.

Here's a link for the MB-Quarts install. I've heard them, and I want them. The sound is absolutely phenomenal, especially with the Dynamat sound deadening treatment. Just awesome.

Good luck with your new ride.

thanks for all the big ups fellas. any suggestions for performance mods, not looking to supercharge. additional 10-15 hp would make me happy.

Great looker , enjoy. I noticed that you also have the orange corners in the front turn signals. I have a 2004 and thought the 2005 had clear. What is the picture in the BMW accesories catalog that shows clear front turn signals?

BAVM3 - If it's new and BMW, then it's Dinan to keep the warrantees in place - guess your looking at an S2 upgrade (S3 uncludes turbo) - figure $8-9K - have one scheduled for my 2001 X5 4.4i blue/beige SP when it comes in from the east coast - I'm sure there are other more experienced owners out there who can give you some tips - I'm still learning and have limited choices here in Idaho. Good Luck with it!
