Sounds nice, I'm picking up my diesel tomorrow...

Yeah - that was a joke. Plus, the salesman is my friend and I'm sure he wouldn't mind entertaining my exhaustive impatience.

Gotta love black on black X5 with 5/20 tint.

Congrats! Love the M5 also.

Thanks. I'm very curious to see how it turns out. I think the Aero Kit will help, along with powdercoating the wheels a light gunmetal color. It'll be a nice contrast. The one thing I'm not doing on this car though is tinting the tails. I did that on my E60's, but I doubt I'll do it on this car. My wife already thinks the car is going to be too "pimpy" for her. Hahahahaha!

3. European AutoSource - Smoked Reflectors, Smoked Side Reflectors
4. JLevi - LED Side Signals, LED Reverse Lights
5. TurnerMotorSports - Spacers
6. Extra Set of 4.8 Grills for painting Jet Black (BMW of Newport, Rhode Island). I get a 25% discount on ALL OEM parts at this dealership and I pay no tax. Shipping is practically next day, since I'm in NY, and that's going UPS Ground too. :thumbup:

This is where I started. I use most of these vendors from my other BMW boards (E60.net and M5Board).

Sounds great.... can you please tell me what bulb types you ordered from JLevi (LED side and reverse lights )Thanks :thumbup:

I picked up the car yesterday with my wife and couldn't be happier! The car is fantastic. It's fully loaded and has already had a few mods done to it. I'll post up pictures this week.

I am officially a member of this family. :)
