Grats, and looks very nice. The 2006 R53 is a fine vintage indeed.

Welcome to the club! I bought mine 3 days before you. First thing I got rid of was the run flats. It made the ride so much smoother.

Yeah, mine has 16 inch wheels with non-run flats. It's been pouring rain the last few days so I really haven't had much of a chance for "really" driving it. 'Supposed to rain for three more days, alas.......

1. plasti dip the gauge rings from silver to black.
2. ipod aux connection
3. tint
4. auto start (it gets cold here)
5. quad HID KC day lighters for the front
