Please welcome Vida!
Hey guys. Just picked up my first MCS yesterday (my 5th BMW). She is an '05 with about 18k miles on her. Just wanted to say hey and introduce myself and my new girl.

Mods:
Full JCW
custom head
Schrick cam
upgraded charger
m7 cooling system
m7 coilovers
18" feet
big brakes, drilled, etc.
More extensive list to come...

I already have a short must do list:

1) Whalen shifter
2) Tint windows
3) Short antenna

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I can already tell this can easily become an addiction.

As far as the brakes. They are Wilwood 4 piston, 12"...

Very cool. Wife and I are going to head down there soon hopefully.
