My name is Darrin, and I am brand new here. This is awesome, and I am really looking forward to using this site to get some great advice, and if I can, provide some as well!

I am the second owner of my car, I bought it a few years ago with 22k on the clock. It has ~53k on it now.
It's in (almost) perfect condition, and I still have to look back at it every time I walk away from it...it is a gorgeous, timeless design!

I have:
Replaced the amp/speakers, added custom sub setup, (stock HU for now), CF antenna
Added Grom USB and XM
A/C-S Front strut brace
Clear reflectors
Billet pedal set
Billet oil cap
Carbon window tint

Working on:
Replacing tires (Conti ExtremeContact DWS?)
Replacing brake pads (Hawk Ceramics?)
Installing my new BMW drilled rotors
Replacing worn suspension components (BMW OEM?)

I am always open to others' opinions!

Yep. I can see them. You might want to sign up for Photobucket -- a free site where you can host pictures. I find it easier to post pictures that way.

Love natural brown interior. Same interior that's in my car. It's one of the best (biased opinion, of course).

Hmmm. only 1 picture is working for me. I'll have to check back a little later. BTW, I usually end in Pensacola once or twice a year for work, it's one of my favorite places to go.

a few of the sub setup. First, without the anti-theft "the dudes got a system" cover, then one incognito...

Nice. Been flying on and off for almost 20 years. Always had a lot of respect for ATC guys, especially in the crazy airspace up here.

Your car looks awesome, btw.

Roflol...why is it that no one ever fails to see the tiny sliver-of-wife in that pic??! Lol

Yeah, that's my wife Roxy. She is a babe. I'm a lucky guy! ;-p
