Well after a few weeks of searching I finally got the one I felt was the best for me. I'm very happy with my choice and can't wait to start to mod it

Now if I could only sell my M3, I'll be good to go

Thanks guys. You know I couldn't believe it didn't have them? How hard would it be to install them?

Nice looking car. First mod is ALWAYS tinted windows!! then lower it a touch. THEN we can talk about lights. The fun in the Xenons is the active part anyways.

man, everytime I see pictures like those I think to myself, "we are a bunch of very fortunate souls who can afford to own and enjoy something as handsome and well-designed as one of these autos". Congrats on your new sled.

Thanks guys... I do have big plans for it

I stopped by Mercedes today and picked up a set of all season mats and car cover also ordered (2) K&N filters and tried to order an hid conversion kit but I couldn't get a straight answer if I would get a fault code. I read that you would need a special set that wont trigger any codes. If anyone know or has this kit please let me know.

I also have plans to install the pulley... Do I have to have the ECU upgraded too?

These are the wheels I want to install with black center. I'm going to run 20X8.5/20X10
