Very funny. 3/31 is D-day. You seem just as anxious as me.

The 3.0 is black mesh?

Ever think about painting the rims and aluminum part of the running boards the same high gloss black. I think that would be very "stealth." (and very cool)

I'm having my wheels powdercoated a nice, graphite color.

I want a little bit of contrast, as opposed to the standard black look.

As for the running boards, I considered painting them, but the paint is only going to chip and come off after the amount of shoes, dirt, sand and grime that will get on it. It won't look that good after a certain amount of time.

Ha, we have much in common.

I too have an Indianapolis Red M5, and a Silver Grey X5 4.8i. Haven't done much modding, other than removing carbon filters on M5. Love these cars as sweet as they are stock.

Only thing I wish is BMW would pull head out of arse and put some pretty calipers and rotors on their cars, ala MB or Audi, heck even Dodge SRT has Brembos...

You need to add a few mods, esp to the M5. The difference is night and day. I could never imagine going back to my stock M5. Way too slow.
