I thought I'd post a few pics from a beautiful spring morning around Boston after my "week o'mods".

I generally like a stock look with subtle mods that only an enthusiast's eye would notice. Over the last few days, I installed H&R springs, body color side grilles and a body color RKP front splitter. Inside is Rogue's short-throw kit and IND's tri-color boot. For protection, I went with the Escort 9500ix + Escort Live and Laser Interceptor systems (all nicely integrated into the front grilles, rear lid and interior console). Upgraded audio and maybe exhaust are next . . .

A few call outs: We all use Nate and Ilia's names so often that we take them for granted. But IND is almost the only name an M5 modder needs to know. Great, great guys. Also, I'm incredibly lucky to have Turner Motorsport in my backyard. Not only is their work superb, but you get to drool at a parking lot full of cool BMW street and race cars while you wait (and I got to play in one of their heavily modded M5s and a 1 Series ActiveE). Those of us in the Boston area know that some of the most anal audio and detector installers are at Sound in Motion. It takes a lot to "out-anal" me and, well . . . Finally, I've had the misfortune to befriend fellow M5Post member jmh. He's helping me with coding. A word of warning - DO NOT meet this man unless you have a secret bank account that your wife does not know about. I think each time I'll see jmh's M5, I'll spend another thousand dollars on something that I had no idea that I just had to have. Sick.
