I just bought my first BMW. I've had it for 3 weeks, and it got sandblasted following a big rig on the freeway. Luckily my insurance co. is repairing it. I just went to DDM in San Diego this morning and picked up M5 bumpers and side molding. The whole car is currently being painted. I also picked up an M5 wing for the trunk. I couldn't believe the prices. I got side moldings,front and rear bumpers for $438.00

Nice choice, but we really need pictures: after sandblast and then after new paint job. :needpics

I don't know what brand they are, I have never seen any like them. They are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. Its a 530i sport with 80k miles and triptronic auto , nav. with Grey interior. I cant believe how fast this car is. I opened it up on a desolate road and was pushing 140 at the top of 4th. I need to get the nav cd's and have been reading alot about it on here. I called the dealer and they didnt know what the v17-v27 cd's were. I'm a little lost on what to do. Oh ya, this forum is great. Thanks Mark

You have a great car!

Stay away from the dealer, and find a good BMW tech locally!
Love the wheels!

Thanks!
