Minor goodies...
1) COMAND US to replace my Audio 20 CC. iPod integration on order. Eventually putting in NAV and SAT as well.
2) Two new factory rims...not by choice...looks like the previous owner hit a pothole...two hairline cracks on left side wheels...one started losing the seal.
3) Probably hit it with some Zainos today.
I haven't gotten into the engine bay yet...but I will.

I replaced the chrome plated steel valve stem caps with lightweight aluminum valve stem caps. That should free up some serious HP and significantly reduce rotating mass...I might even run with no valve stem caps at all 
Thanks Santa Santa might have dropped of a few other little things, but they are probably not worth mentioning, the valve stems caps are major.

According to one M5board member you can save up to 5lbs of rotating mass per tire by inflating with nitrogen and turbonators are proven HP. Also the latest clear bra's shave .01 off your coefficient of drag.

Just for Grins and giggles have you ever computed the weight of the fill in a tire?
Less than 30 grams
