You'll be modding before you know it. You won't like it being slower than your modded m5

congrats! Love the seats.

First mod is very subjective...it's really up to you and what you want...every mod I've done has been great in it's own way...so the first question is...after you drive it a while...what do you think would improve your experience?

Is it looks you want to improve?

Is it performance?

Is it handling?

Is it sound?

Is it all of the above and more?

Remember...it's not too late to run...

Run! don't walk; just run away from this forum Rocket. Do it now while you still can. I hear the mod bug is around somewhere close. Congrats on the new car!

I tried to run from my laptop tonight, but my hands started itching to check the board. Oh goodness, I will be modding it in no time. I'll try my best to get past break-in first. Then again, I should order parts now and be ready when that point comes...

Good questions, Justin. I have yet to uncork it, but I think the 4 to 5 upshift is really long. Maybe a SSK with a colored center console?

Congratulations, Chris. About time you jumped on the "turbo" bandwagon. I think you really would like the SSK mod. Do not say "must resist," "must resist." Instead say "must get," "must get."

Jason,

You know me. Usually about a step behind you in the cars. Whatever you get next, give me 3 years!

Thanks all!

Congrats!
Glad to see another BMW convert! Modifying your car will be the most fun you've had. Getting it is just the first part. As a daily driver you will really get the chance to enjoy it! Good luck!

Congratulations Rocket!!

Can I ask how much off MSRP you got and what dealer? I am in the process of negotiating one now and looking for all of the support I can get... Please PM me if you have any great advice/tips.

Have a great weekend doing nothing but driving!!
