Smile I'm back in a BMW...just picked this up | some PICS

This was about 6 months ago:




This is today:




Just picked up a brand new 2013 528i xDrive M-Sport for my daily driver.
Perfect for daily, 0-60mph in less than 6 secs, averaging 27 mpg and all-wheel drive too.






Pretty much loaded:




Auto Start-Stop just like Prius




Pretty cool feature...facebook on the Nav screen:




Some interior detail pics:

The car has plenty of power (and torque) but handling is bad, too much body roll I think.
Prob aftermarket springs can remedy this.

Some "necessary" mods:





Small engine, plenty of space in the engine bay



Not so stealth with the bright blue light:



Saw this funny sticker under the hood



New OEM filter vs aFe filter:



Filter installed:



I had to move the aFe module to top of my air box from the side (see pic #4) because it fell to my engine bay, good thing it still works fine and didn't mess up anything!

Any plans on supercharging it???
