2002 E55, Black on Black
Greetings from soon-to be owner

Been a while since I posted here, but I'm finally close to pulling the trigger on an 02 E55 with only 30,000 miles, under extended factory warranty.
Carfax checked out, only inspection to go.
Very excited, and had a few questions from the experts here.

1) Has anyone added Bluetooth? I know Sony recently introduced a new head unit that is Sat ready and uses Bluetooth along with the car's speakers, but curious if anyone here has tried a solution other than Parrot. I don't want any additional boxes in my car.

2) What is a fair price to have the resonator removed? Stock exhaust is just too quiet, and I want a bit more substance (but nothing too drastic). Also if anyone has a shop recommendation in Atlanta to do the job, that would be a great help.

3) Searched some old posts a while back where board members recommended Euro springs to lower the car and improve handling a bit. I'd love a little bit of a drop and improved handling, but nothing over the top or too pricey (at least not yet)

Thanks for any input, and hopefully will be talking from an owner perspective soon!
