Hahaha!

That mod really went all the way Josh! Hope you enjoy it.

Josh49 · 03-19-2006, 09:36 AM

Thanks, it is incredible so far...

The mystic blue is amazing, I can post some sweet pictures of it if you guys want...

jjbirch · 03-19-2006, 09:37 AM

yeah the mirrors look different but thats all i can see lol

ksfrogman · 03-19-2006, 09:38 AM

They're both nice, but you've definitely moved up.

You park like I do. Slightly off center away from adjacent driver's side doors.

Josh49 · 03-19-2006, 09:39 AM

Actually, I always park centered, I moved the car after I took the picture. But I have a tendancy to park towards the side I did, the lady to that side of me always parks way too close!! I talk to her every month or so then it gets better for a day or two then back to normal..

That night I was up until 4 am thinking about the car, sending pics to family, I couldn't sleep. I was about to go to sleep, and I look outside and see this:

Gotta LOVE the respoect!!! Look how far over in their spots they are!!!

ksfrogman · 03-19-2006, 09:46 AM

LOL. They respect your space.

Congrats on your new car! Did you get ZPP or ZSP?

r3amir · 03-19-2006, 10:57 AM

The best MOD I have ever seen

Congrats, enjoy our new ride :rocks:

Nope, no ZPP or ZSP. ZSP for the x cars doesn't include upgraded suspension, so I wanted to save my money and maybe do that on my own.

I got nav + xenon for the price I would have spent on zpp. thought it would have been much more worthwhile (more bang for the buck) for me then the zpp. SOOOOOOOOO glad I did, the adaptive headlights and navigation system are so incredible so far. They're probably among my favorite features if not the favorite features on the car..

Josh49 · 03-19-2006, 11:20 AM

Thanks everyone (r3amir, ledzep, etc) who said congratulations... You guys interested in seeing more pictures?

LEDZEP · 03-19-2006, 11:27 AM

Absolutely! I bore people constantly with my photos and I enjoy looking at others. You should post them in the Photos section though.

Yeah I guess so. We have assigned spots, which is awesome. The landlord says at first those numbers were the apartment numbers, but for security reasons he switched apt and parking numbers (if spot 8 is empty you can go rob apartment 8, and so on)..

Thank you, I'm going to post some more pictures right now..

BMW F22 · 03-19-2006, 11:47 AM

Damn how much did that cost??? I've always wanted to mod my car like that, no joke. Let me know the info.

Josh49 · 03-19-2006, 11:59 AM

At the dealership. They had it in its own private glass garage I couldn't believe how amazing it looked. The garage was temperature and air controlled, it was perfect. The car was pristine, sooo nice... I didn't want to take it out of there. It was too nice.

Funny story - I ordered the chrome front grills for this. I think it looks absolutely incredible. So anyhow I'm in the dealership and after doing all the business I get the grills from the trunk of the Audi, and go into here, open the hood. I pulled off the black grills, and everyone inside the dealership is looking at me in horror. My dealer is too, and he's like you sure you know what you're doing. I'm like they're just supposed to pop out. They did. He's like you know you're probably the first person in the history of the dealership to rip apart a bmw in this bay. So I open the nice packaging for the chrome grills, pop them in. They look so incredible. Got the thumbs up from everyone inside and smiles, all the looks of horror went away.. My girl went to use the ladies room while I was doing this and she said when she came out every person around was staring at me and wondering what was going on. The grills look amazing, at night the chrome grills, the blue, and the xenon lights/housing look unbelievable. I'll have to take some night pictures..

vladinecko · 03-19-2006, 12:01 PM
