Well I've been a member for a couple weeks and most of you already know my car but I figured I'd throw a quick build thread together anyway. When I bought this car from AndreNY it was on VN-Lines/pss9s/and needed quite a bit of body work. I took what he started and ran with it (Last visually modded car I will ever buy-live and learn I guess.) I recently redid the headliner in brown alcantara, installed high performance coils, switched to fks, and bought BBS LMs as my temp wheels so I could put something together for 2010 (the VN-lines got boring and old).
The current mod list is as follows:
Exterior:
Boser Hood (Stock Hood - Metal Extension)
Shaved Roundels
Custom Flared Fenders
Custom Flared Quarters
DDM e39 M5 Front Bumper w/fogs
Hella Headlights
Hella Euro Amber Celis LED tails with Ballast retrofit (done the correct way)
OEM Euro Decklid
6k Low beam HIDs
6k Fog HIDs
Shadowline Trim
Authentic AC Schnitzer Sport mirrors
Full Respray
Wheels/Tires:
19x10/19x8.5 BBS LMs
Falken 452's
Interior:
Brown Alcantara Headliner
e46 M3 SMG wheel
e46 ZHP Shift knob
K40 Stealth Radar Detector front/back
E39 m5 cluster rings and needles
Audio (DSP):
Infinity Kappa 5-1/4s in front
Infinity Kappa 5.1 Tweeters in front
Infinity Kappa 5-1/4s in rear shelf
Elemental Designs Nine.4 Amplifier
2 Elemental Designs 10 inch subs
Performance:
Bavarian Autosport High Performance Ignition coils
Zechanhausen CDV delete
Magnaflow High flow cats
Magnaflow Muffler
Resonator Delete
Superchips chip and ECU re-flash
Rogue Ultimate Short Shifter
K&N Drop In High-Flow Air Filter
Suspension:
FK Stainless Coilovers
The LMs will be going up for sale sooner then later as I think I decided what wheels I want to run next. Some pics of the car since i've owned it:
VN-Lines (right after my paint job):

Mitos (That I was told were 3piece and planned on widening but ended up being 2piece):

LMs (its current state):

Next thing im doing is switching to a smaller tire up front and adding 30mm spacers Then I'm selling the LMs before winter and having 18x11.5 18x10 goodness built. I also hope to have the nose resprayed before H20. Hope you all enjoy the car. I wish I had someone local to me that can take good pictures because I can't.
