Maybe I just have bad luck but it was a pain in the ass... and since the wiring harness had to be spliced into line (not plug and play) it wasn't like I could just swap 'em back for the inspection.

I've actually never had a problem with that and Ive had the euros on mine for about or 6 years. Most of the places I have taken my car to only cared that the turn signals would blink orange.

I'm going to get the euro projectors... they are very pimp.

As for the wheels, I'm trying to keep the image thing more on the downlow... you know... collar down. So, chrome is out. And I like the wheels that are on there now, and they are brand new.

I'm saving my pennies to so some performance upgrades... I don't really care what it looks like, just as long as it's fucking fast.

I'll let Aaron chime in, but apparently he has "changed."

The popped collar adds drag... it's not as fast. A t-shirt is even faster!! Ha.

Every time I see this 540 or any other I remember the BMW short films with Clive Owen as the wheel man. I must bring those to the meetings.

How much? Keep us updated with the cost of ownership... I have been looking at one of these for a long time.

Aaron you asshole. I wasted 2 hours at work today watching those. (and I had work to do Wink )

Star was the most memorable, but plenty of other ones that were good too. My fave was the Z4 one "Hostage"
