Not really. Its an early 03, before the LED tails, and it still has less miles than my FX45 that I bought new.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I already have a DICE ipod adapter, blackout front and side grills, silver CF steering wheel trim, clear front bumper reflectors and LED bulbs for the front and rear turn signals on the way.

Also planning on the full silver CF interior trim, Vorstiener CF rear diffuser, engine cover, M5/M6 SMG shift **** and a few other bits.

Had to get the SMG, my wife refuses to learn stick. And honestly it is not as bad as a lot of people say it is.

Yeah, if you have to get an auto the SMG cannot be beat. I just can't get over the manual shift though and I have a feeling it's years are numbered.

Too bad you didn't get an 8 though, the GA RX8 club is the best club around I hear.

If you sign up on the BMW forums, do NOT tell them you speed/race in it. They will flame you to HELL!

Well luckily the previous owner put the Dinan mods on, that saved me about 2500 dollars, but so far I have spent $600 on what I ordered so not that bad. But once I get into the Vorstiener stuff it will get costly, but the results are nice.

One thing that surprised me was how light the factory wheels are, I was looking at Breyton's but they are way too heavy, so I will keep them on for a while and maybe later get some Volks or some Advans.
