Welcome!

A 30K mile car is a nice find!
Did you get a warranty?

I hope that you enjoy the car. They are fun to drive.... take my advice, get a warranty. It will pay for itself.

That is not a good start. New owner, car in the shop before you could even get pictures.

Also, stupid question, how do i get it so that the full picture shows up in my post rather than these small photos that you have to click on to enlarge? thanks guys!

Where are you hosting your pics?

Mine are on Photobucket, and I get the option to link to either a thumbnail or a full-size image depending on which IMG link I select... Might be something that simple.

Congrats on the car! I just picked up a 2006 E55 also (just got it thurs night).... I'm curious to see what mods you've got planned. Good news is that we're both reasonably close to TTM headquarters (Long Island, NY), so getting dialed-in should be pretty easy.
