Hi folks

I have been reading the forum for months now and I admit already being addicted to it!

As I know you are all longing for them, here are some pics of my preFL 4.4

Some facts about the basics and the few MODs

- 2000 4.4i full sport package
- 20" RH rims with 295/40 20 Falken Zietz (marvellous tyres!)
- 50mm spacers on the rear each side to fit the rims to the body
- Original BMW running boards installed
- AC Schnitzer rear bumper still with the original mufflers
- 35mm Eibach lowering on the front, 10mm lowering on the rear via OBD
- MK3 Navi with still 4:3 display
- 2x 7" TFTs in the headrests with OEM DVD player for entertainment of
my 4 year old daughter
- ///M pedal set (was pittly bought before I decided to go ACS...)


still to come in 2009:
- chrome gauge rings (already at home)
- 300km/h speedo background incl. adjustment (4.8 look)
- 140x80mm Fox high grade steel mufflers to fit the ACS rear bumper
(already at home)...including sound improvement...ya all know...
- update of rear lights to FL (already done for the outside ones, still looking for the inner ones)


open wishes:
- looking desperatly for a new front bumper (@dolphin_4_u, that should
have been mine )
- Magnaflow X-pipe (if those were only buyable from Germany...)
- MK4 with 16:9 display incl BM54 (prio xxx)
- sound system re-engagement (there has been an complete Eaton
system in it but the pre-owner took it out, all cables left in the car)
- maybe a small rear spoiler Hamann style
- M5 or LeMans style rear mirrors (adorable but not available!!!)
- Angel eyes in my Xenons (but honestly.... I´m too scared to ruin them)

Coming from Germany I really like the opportunities of MODs you are pleased with in the US.....and I´m jealous
I would like to be able to give my XX some of your MODs but... either you can´t buy them in Germany (X-pipes) or they are not allowed (thank you TÜV).

Hope I am welcome in your group.

Wishing everyone a good week and safe rides!

Cheers, Oliver
