Proud new owner of 2000 S500...

Hey folks, I've been lurking around these forums for a week or so. We just picked up our 2000 S500. We had leased a 2001 BMW 740i sport (big mistake), and it just ran out. We'll be keeping this for about 2 years or so. I just ordered the 2003 S55 wheels and the 2003 rear tail lights, and the 2003 bi-xenons will be ordered soon. Will post pics soon. Some of you may know me from the ML forums, as I own a ML 430 Hope to contribute to these forums too!

see ya


-Chris

Good luck! What are you paying for the S55 Rims?

Arrow Thanks Guys!

I paid $2200 including shipping for the wheels and tires mounted and balanced, brand new never put on a car. I'm very happy with that investment

I just put the 2003 tail lights on today. what a difference!!! I'll take pictures on Tuesday when I have the wheels put on.

P.S. - Taurian, do you DJ or remix or produce? I have a whole studio setup in my basement at home, with the Tech 12's and American DJ Q decks, Q mixer, and the Pioneer EFX unit. What type of music is your fancy?

Chris,

I DJ and remix as a hobby. How do you like the EFX? Are you aware you can carry an 8 second sample with it? I am hoping to go to contract on my new home in 2 weeks, my first order of business is my studio in the basement. Do you have pictures of your studio?

I am very interested in seeing pictures of your car. Does your S500 have the sport package?

Hehe, I'll take pictures of it tomorrow...

I like the EFX, although after using it so much, the wheel isn't as sensitive anymore, i have to really turn it to get the effects out. I didn't know you could use it for 8 seconds, do you use the delay? Please do tell hehe. I'll take pictures of the S500 on Tuesday. It doesn't have the sport package. But I'll prolly order the Brabus kit or something, not sure yet.

-Chris

P.S. - Did you head down to the Winter Music Conference in Miami this year? Oh man, it was absolutely nuts!

Congrats. Why was the 740 a mistake?
