Pictures of my beast (obligatory intro post)
Hi all!

On Monday, April 7th 2008 I entered the world of beast ownership. After a good deal of searching I found a 2001 Carbon Black w/ red/black sport interior (first time I had seen this color combo - love it) w/ all options (PDC, shades, fold-down rear seats) and only 17k miles. Total garage queen, owner drove a beater 3-series in the city of San Francisco.

But wait, there's more.

It's got Dinan. More specifically, Dinan intake, exhaust, stage II software, stage III suspension (Koni), front strut brace, and 3.45 rear diff. All installed by Dinan in Morgan Hill, CA when the car was practically new.

My first modification is iPod integration -- gotta have the tunes! Stay tuned for a full install write-up...

Pics attached. It's great to be on board!

Brian
