My First Post - With Pics!

My new baby....

2006 S. Premium, Sport and Cold Weather Packages. British Racing Green, 17" S lite on Run Flats. Shift **** replaced with a Whalen Shift Machine (Awesome). Headed in next week for the Cooper Works cold air intake and the engine strut. Oh boy, the new hobby is gonna be an expensive one I see.....

Installed the JCW Airbox, The engine Strut and a short shifter today. Felt the difference immediately. Sweet!

That's a sign of your addiction.. every mod will be "wow, this is cool!" and lookout!
Nice pictures, I'm a fan of natural uncluttered backgrounds. Noticed the chrome intake. How do you like this BRG?

Love this color, it takes on different hues at different times of the day.

I pulled into a Supermarket lot yesterday and an elegant older woman, packing her groceriecs into a black BMW 740i (hawt) in the spot next to the one I chose, exclaimed "That is sharp! I love that Green" as I exited my car. Then she added "Ooh and you got some extras on it too. It sounds fast.".

It's amazing how this car opens people up to conversation!

Welcome and congratulations!

I love the last photo - with the awesome tree reflections - That's a keeper for sure!

Might as well spend it - you can't take it with you...

Very nice indeed. I understand the BRG is the second fastest color

Where did you get the chrome scoop? I just bought a chrome scoop and chrome interior from mymini and it's still sitting under the tree.

Lots of opinions on those, but the look is great with the chrome grill.
